I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is positioned perfectly within walking distance to all the main attractions, including the shopping stores and the Christmas market. The rooms were quite spacious, especially for a single room. The breakfast was delightful as well, though a bit more variety would have been nice. The staff made my experience even better with their helpfulness and pleasant demeanor. Overall, it's great value for money, but the Wi-Fi situation could be improved.
