 Despite having confirmed directly with the hotel that I would have a room in a quiet location I was assigned a room on the main road I had return to reception and argue with the man who checked me in who used the tired old excuse the hotel is full If I had not stood my ground and refused to be dismissed I would have been stuck in a much noiser room at the front It was a disappointing start to my stay There are few places to eat nearby so you have to go across the bridge to the centre The hotel only suggested very touristy places in the centre Staff were more responsive to couples and groups than to a single traveller and also to those who spoke German 
 Beautiful old style hotel individual feel rather than a corporate chain Great sense of history and some beautiful objects on display in the public rooms Fantastic breakfast Quieter location than the old part of the city across the bridge If you ask for it they provide tea and coffee making facilities Quiet in the room until the last two nights when there was a guest next door who had the television very loud all night unfortunately the hotel did not deal with the problem despite repeated requests
