Took the top 2 story suite. It requires walking up 6 flights of stairs but once there its a fabulous suite loaded with thoughful extra like coffee, cream and toothbrushes! You have view of square below through (small) window and view of city on both ends of suite, one from a small balconey. Includes a full kitchen, large screen Tv in a combo living room/dining room. A very comfortable small condo, one could live here. What a find!!

große Zimmer in kleinem Hotel

Das Handtuch liegt direkt am Marktplatz von Bautzen. Es ist so schmal geschnitten, dass es nur ein Zimmer pro Etage gibt, diese sind dann aber umso größer und sehr schön eingerichtet. Urige Unterkunft mit schönem Ausblick aus den oberen Etagen.

Super schönes altes Haus

Blick aus dem Domblickzimmer auf den Marktplatz war wunderschön, da nimmt man gern die Treppen ins 2.oberste Stockwerk in Kauf. Wer nicht so viele Stufen gehen mag, nimmt einfach ein Zimmer weiter unten. Alle Zimmer sind eine komplette Etage mit Blick auf den Marktplatz, da das Haus so schmal ist. Große geräumige Zimmer mit schönem Bad und sogar einer im Schrank verdeckten Kochnische.

Komfortable Pension in Stadtmitte

Schon von bisherigen Trips nach Bautzen war mir Das Handtuch ein Begriff. Es ist ein komfortables, kleines Hotel, das Zimmer war ausreichend groß und alles wirkte neu und sauber. Leider gab es wie angekündigt keine Kitchenette sondern lediglich einen Wasserkocher und eine Kaffeemaschine aber für ein Wochenende war es ausreichend. Alles in allem war es ein wenig überteuert aber das ist in der Weihnachtszeit zu erwarten l.

OK Pension (small hotel) in center of town

The two budget hotels I first tried to book were full. I took a chance on Pension zum Handtuch. It was OK.
