Location was walking distance to many activities downtown very excellant breakfast selections had some issues with getting bedding for the extra bed and towels to accomodate 4 people in my families room
The hotel is very modern but also chic as the art branding implies. The location is great - it is not in the centre but right on the river so easy to find. The breakfast is a particular highlight including an outside terrace. I have stayed here before and will continue to do so in future
Lovely hotel with secure under ground parking. Friendly helpful staff. Room was spacious with a great bed. We loved the art work wall in the bathroom. Only downside was the bar and restaurant were closed (apparently due to staff sickness). However there was a lovely open air bar a few metres away, right by the canal.
Good location, good facilities, room was clean although was not serviced daily as this has to be asked for in the morning of the day you would like to have the room made up

Great staff.
Unfortunately the hotel was undergoing some major work to the lobby, bar and restaurant areas along with fitting new carpets in the hallways. It’s a good hotel and we will be back but as a small hotel, work in communal areas have a big knock on impact on our enjoyment of the hotel.
Hotel was perfect for the few nights we were there. Close to many things and super clean. Staff were friendly and rooftop terrace has a wonderful view.
Fabulous stay at this hotel during Xmas markets, lovely friendly staff who kindly let us check in early. Fabulous breakfast and premium products in bathroom, very warm cosy room and beds
I liked the location of the hotel. Most attractions can be reached on foot from the hotel. It ’s right on the Rhine too, which was lovely to look out onto every day. Breakfast and the service was excellent. Great choice of continental or cooked breakfasts. Staff on reception were always friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
It is in a good location next to the river, which is ideal with the roof top terrace.
Only about 25 minute stroll from the train station.
Rooms were big and airy.
Well located, close to the Chocolate Museum, Sports Museum, Harbour and Christmas Market. Hop on and hop off tours stop here. Actual hotel is clean and rooms are spacious.
