We booked one of the rooms with air conditioning. It was cozy and comfortable. The location is hard to beat as it is perfect both for walking around the AltStadt and for taking the tram around the city or to the Hauptbahnhof. The breakfast was o.k., but there are lots of options for cafés nearby as well as a Lidl across the river. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.
