The hotel was a delight and exceeded our expectations. We were about to embark upon a river cruise and the tour company had booked our hotel accommodation for the night prior to departure. I had seen a photo of the hotel from an online visit which revealed grand old structure which could easily have been tired and drab on the interior. My first impressions could not have been further from the truth. The hotel was in fact grand and beautifully maintained with old features. Like the original key rack behind reception and wood panelling everywhere. Best of all was the service of all the hotel personnel who were professional helpful and impeccably mannered. Stand out individuals were: Alexandra Pyroml and Chakir Oussamu on reception who were helpful throughout and especially so when I discovered I had lost my wallet when visiting a nearby restaurant. In addition Moritz Belvar, a young waiter at breakfast could not have been more friendly and helpful if he tried. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wishes to enjoy old style hotel life in the centre of truly great coty

“Historic hotel in a great location”

This hotel has a lot of history and has a great location across the street from the train station. You can easily walk 10-15 minutes to the old town and there is a super market in the train station for any essentials you need.

This hotel has a lot of history and has a great location across the street from the train station. You can easily walk 10-15 minutes to the old town and there is a super market in the train station for any essentials you need. Breakfast was a great buffet complete with Nuremburg sausage and a Nutella machine. This hotel is used by Viking river cruises so expect large groups trying to check in and out at certain times. I also suggest declining any upgrades to the lower floor rooms with the views in favor of quieter rooms further back in the hotel since the street is quite noisy.

We arrived at about ten in the morning, we had been traveling for over eleven hours. We were told upon arrival that our room would not be ready till three in the afternoon. Viking had made all out travel an arrangements. As such they put the hotel staff at a considerable disadvantage. While we begged for some accommodation to rest our weary bodies, we were merely offered complimentary breakfast. It was better than nothing but it did not provide the rest we desperately needed and expected from a Viking coordinated traveler! Shame on Viking for their lack of consideration for weary travelers. The chairman of Viking urges us to be curious travelers…..well I am curious as to why they would think their travel arrangements live up to Vikings previous standards that we have experienced on other travels with them? The hotel did provide a room for our disabled brother in law asap , but my wife and I were without a room for hours. So, the hotel was in a good location and the staff was as helpful as they could be, unfortunately Viking put them at a disadvantage .
