We stayed for only one night, while we were passing through to Munich. It was very walkable and the rooms were lovely. I had a lovely brunch at Cafe Chloe and a quick walk over to the outdoor market.

Very clean, beautiful and quiet boutique hotel! Rooms are nicely designed, a good size. Bathrooms are clean, the showers are a bit tricky b/c the glass wall is not wide so you have to watch how much you splash outside the area but it is tiled very well. There are mini bottles of personal items and a hair dryer. The staff are beautiful people and friendly and helpful. We had the breakfast once, very good. I wish there was an option to get a quick complimentary coffee when someone isn't in the mood or has no time for breakfast, like most hotels. But a 5 minute walk will take you to cafe options nearby. It is about a 7 minute walk to the Altstadt, which is fine. If you want to be directly in the Altstadt, I recommend looking for another hotel but we like being away from noisy streets, although the Altstadt doesn't seem too noisy late at night. There is a quick elevator in this hotel and great curtains and automatic metal shutters for good room darkening. Beds are comfortable. Our only complaint is the wifi.... it is TERRIBLE. If you need good wifi for work purposes or other, don't book here. We had to often try different times of day to get anything to load (travel ideas, social media, etc)
