Great stay overall! 🔝⭐ Would totally recommend. 🛏️ The hotel's bed mattress provides outstanding comfort and support, ensuring a deep and restful sleep. The pillows are wonderfully soft and perfectly contoured, enhancing the overall sleeping experience and making every night truly relaxing. 💡 The hotel's room lighting is well-designed, providing both ample illumination for tasks and a warm, cozy ambiance for relaxation. 👩🏻‍💼🧑🏻‍💼 The hotel staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile. Their professionalism and warmth truly made our stay unforgettable. 🔐 The hotel's safety measures are top-notch. Each guest receives a key card that grants access to the hotel and activates the elevator, ensuring only guests can reach their floors. This system effectively prevents non-guests from entering, significantly reducing the risk of incidents. Additionally, the internal floor doors can be opened from the inside, allowing guests to go down to the reception while maintaining security by preventing external access. I felt incredibly secure throughout my stay, which is really important when visiting a town or neighborhood for the first time. 🥞 I absolutely loved the breakfast at this hotel! It was fully stocked every morning with a fantastic variety of options. From fresh fruit, pancakes, and an assortment of sweets and pastries to a great selection of bread, there was something for everyone. The drinks were just as impressive, with freshly squeezed juice, ginger shots, and a wide range of fresh tea and machine made coffee. It really set the perfect tone for the day. Highly recommend starting your morning here! 💲 The hotel stay was a bit over our budget due to Euro 2024, but it was completely understandable. The excellent overall quality of the hotel, food, and amenities made it worth every penny. 🍻🧹 I also loved the hotel's innovative idea of skipping room cleaning in exchange for a free drink!

    Fantastic stop off for one night. Location was really easy to reach from the Autobahn, and the prebooked secure parking was a bonus. For a budget hotel, the reception is well presented and the rooms are big, comfortable and great value. Made to feel welcome on arrival. Would highly recommend.

    The location was excellent, beside the Rhine and just a few minutes walk from the central railway station, the cathedral and on the edge of the old town. It was within walking distance of most of the things we wanted. It was a basic budget hotel with a small reception above a restaurant but it had everything we needed. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff we met were very friendly and helpful.
