"The location is excellent. Across the street from a greenway and just a couple of minutes easy walk from the Mulenbrucke and pedestrian bridge next to that to one of the main restaurant streets in the old town. The hotel is old, but spacious, comfortable and well maintained. I needed to do some emailing after checking out and was able to sit in a quiet space with tables. Extremely good value."
