Well if you are interested in an old style historic hotel, then this is the place to go and stay. They offer in room massage service for few bucks which is a gem.

Well kept gem!

We spent one night to attend a concert. We had to park on the street however was not a problem. The hotel is old but very well kept. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. The staff were all very welcoming. We would stay there again.

Loved our stay at this historic hotel

This hotel is quite a find. Loved the unique-ness of this historic hotel. We were in town for a wedding, and had about 8 rooms rented in all, they were each unique with the room layout. but all quite spacious. Hot breakfast with lots of options. Only downside was the coffee, recommend going to German bakery/coffee shop which was just a 5 minute walk away. (the apple struedel was excellent!)

We stayed in room 319. Room was cosy and reasonably well appointed, althoughthere was a distinct lack of mirrors, no bedside lamp on one side. Bathroom was cramped. The hotel was once a historic building. One the ground floor the dining room was spacious and the breakfast offering very good. They use proper plates and cutlery unlike a lot of hotels. A good selection of hot and cold food on offer. Staff very friendly and helpful. Pool outside was good but located right next to a busy junction, so at times very noisy. Stays automatically qualify for their friends and family loyalty awards, so the next stay gets you better rates and a free room upgrade if booked direct. Would stay again
