Beds are comfortable, the room is clean and nicely decorated, it seems it was recently renovated. The bathroom is also clean and the shower is very good. The best is that the windows open and one can get some fresh air. Breakfast is very good, with a variety of breads, jams, juices, and coffee, including plant-based drinks.

    Fantastic stop off for one night. Location was really easy to reach from the Autobahn, and the prebooked secure parking was a bonus. For a budget hotel, the reception is well presented and the rooms are big, comfortable and great value. Made to feel welcome on arrival. Would highly recommend.

    The location was excellent, beside the Rhine and just a few minutes walk from the central railway station, the cathedral and on the edge of the old town. It was within walking distance of most of the things we wanted. It was a basic budget hotel with a small reception above a restaurant but it had everything we needed. Our room was clean and comfortable. The staff we met were very friendly and helpful.
