Disadvantages: none

I stayed here with a friend and we had a fab time.

The hotel is lovely when you enter the hotel the glass atrium is really impressive. You go up in the lift or escalators or stairs to the reception area. The lifts are also glass ones and the whole atrium looks fabulous with its bars and shops and cafes all dotted about inside. The Rhine can be seen through the hotel from the whole of the atrium area, its a great setting on the banks of the Rhine near the old town.

The rooms are spacious with a nice bathroom, dressing table area, tv and a small seating area with table and chairs. We also had a view of the Cathedral which was especially nice.

The breakfasts are plentiful and have everything you could possibly want, even champagne and smoked salmon and are served till quite late which is nice if you fancy a lie in.

We didnt use the coffee shop or restaurant apart from breakfast but did have a few drinks in the bar, cocktails and while expensive they were very nice.

The hotel is well placed for trams, a main stop outside the hotel, the lovely old square and a few minutes walk to both the Cathedral and main shopping area and into the old centre for quaint shops and traditional bars and restaurants. A short stroll the other way takes you to the Chocolate museum, a must if only for the shop and coffee shop!

The pool and spa area is lovely but sadly i never had chance to use it.

This is a lovely hotel and we found the staff to be helpful and obliging, we would stay here again if the price was right.
