Excellent check in, quick stroll to city center and Christmas markets. City is hilly so there are stairs! Hotel has charming gnome garden, and places to sit, with blankets if it’s chilly. Nice breakfast buffet. Staff was lovely.

The room was very clean and the bed and pillows were super comfy. We were right next to the elevator and we never heard any sound, was pretty sound proof for weary travelers. Great location! We were very happy.
