The location is priceless! We visited for the Christmas markets and the cathedral market is literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms were also gorgeous and you can’t beat the free mini bar (beer, soft drinks).

Traveling with a child age 6 and this hotel went beyond expectations in ensuirng the chiild had the same outstanding service as the adults. The room had a robe, slippers and welocme package with age appropriate items. The resturant onsite was outstanding and our head waiter paid special attention to the child in our party but all the chidren in the resturant - they were given age appropriate activities to entertain them while waiting for the food bit also took them into the kitchen to make thier dessert but also to order the dessert for the rest of thier party based on what they knew each like.

    “Traveling with a child age 6 and this hotel went beyond expectations in ensuirng the chiild had the same outstanding service as the adults. The room had a robe, slippers and welocme package with age appropriate items. The resturant onsite was outstanding and our head waiter paid special attention to the child in our party but all the chidren in the resturant - they were given age appropriate activities to entertain them while waiting for the food bit also took them into the kitchen to make thier dessert but also to order the dessert for the rest of thier party based on what they knew each like.”
