Stayed here for the Christmas markets. Good location, clean hotel with breakfast buffet. The only thing I didn’t like is the clear glass wall of the bathroom. If you’re sharing the room with just a friend then you wouldn’t have privacy.

Amazing city with so much to see and do. I would recommend using the “Lime scooters” as a cheap and convenient way to get around.
