Staff extremely helpful at check in. They allowed an early check in and gave us a good orientation to the city. They also had floatation devices for us to borrow to swim in the Rhine and allowed us to to take a room towel as well! Also arranged for an early morning taxi. Staff very friendly and always greeted with a smile. Great Location!

Nice Hotel at a great location. 1 short block from public transit and will get you everywhere. Many dining options around the hotel. If you arrive on a Sunday, be aware many restaurants do not open, so expect a long line. (Or make reservations early in the afternoon to secure a spot.) Room is clean and modern. Wifi is fast. Staff is friendly. (Be aware no one is at front desk between 11 PM o 7 AM) Tasty breakfast with freshly baked breads and individually cooked eggs or omelets.

Our room, a junior suite was quite large and surgically clean. Bathroom was very modern, large and with great water pressure. Staff was great. My only caution would be to comment that this is not an air-conditioned hotel in the usual sense. There is a system which can be set to lower the temperature in the room slightly, but we found it ineffective. If you're not comfortable sleeping in a warm room, this hotel might best be considered only in the cooler months.
