Radisson Blu Hotel Altstadt
Great location in the heart of the Altstadt. A charming and ancient building with a sense of style comfort and Servus! Our double room turned out to be more of an apartment with a suite of rooms, well appointed and functional yet with an old world charm. Really good breakfasts in a charming restaurant ...
