Das Alte Rathaus

First impressions of Das Alte Rathaus were encouraging. There was not much in the room (bed, chairs, small table, TV, wardrobes and safe), but the general fit-and-finish was exceptional, which gave it a real feel of quality. The bathroom and shower were very nice, and a generous size. Breakfast (included with the booking) was great with good choices of freshly-prepared hot or cold food. The restaurant deserves a special mention because the food in there was superb, highly recommended. English was not spoken by all staff but all were friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately, although it has the air of a high-end hotel, the place was strangely lacking those little extras which you may take for granted at this price-point. No bottled water, no tissues, no extra blanket, no fridge... not even a little free chocolate. Room service wasn't possible either, though buying a drink downstairs and taking up to the room was no problem. Also, I had requested a quiet room - and received a message saying this was arranged - but our room overlooked the outside seating area of the restaurant, where they played music until midnight every night! Some carelessness on their part I think, which was disappointing.
