The location was great I was able to easily walk to the city center. The rooftop bar was a highlight it offered fantastic views of the Rathaus and cathedral.
I found the parking situation to be unclear upon arrival. I was charged a fee at checkout that was not communicated clearly at check-in I did not appreciate this surprise charge.

The room was stylish, and the mini bar had free refills daily. Breakfast on the fifth floor was great. The location was very convenient and close to the centre of everything.
I booked a room, but the bedding felt old. The material wasn't comfortable. The pillows seemed very uncomfortable, and the duvet covers had holes in them!
