It was a nice hotel in a quiet area. It was a block away from the bus from the airport. I felt the breakfast was a bit steep but we got it for the convenience.

A lovely hotel near Markplatz
An excellent place to spend the night. A short walk – but a walk that includes an 83-step stairs – between the hotel and Marktplatz, and a few more short blocks to the Rhine. The sustained ringing of bells in the next-door Peterskirch was a nice wake-up call, but could be a problem for someone hoping to sleep past 7 am.
