We stayed in this hotel for three nights. We chose it for its location: walking distance to almost everything including a public indoor parking. It is located in a small alley in the heart of the "altstadt". It is closed to a large variety of restaurants: Italian, Swiss, Mexican, Turkish, Chinese, German, and yes, even McDonald's! There are also a... more

The hotel, we found, has two problems. The first is that there was a techno party going on in the square outside the window until 3 a..m. - I feel that the hotel ought to warn you when you book that it is in a noisy location.
