Location was fantastic in the old town where all the atmosphere is, a 5min walk to the Kunstmuseum, 5min walk to City Hall, 10min walk to the Rhine river banks and 3min walk to the Munster church and many other museums
Fantastic location, outstanding staff and service, great breakfast for a reasonable price, spacious and comfortable room (though no coffee machine or water kettle in the room), fun vibe, convivial lobby and bar area.
