"A bit loud at night and very small bathrooms. Okay for a nightbor 2 solo but wouldn't stay there longer or with someone else. Nice walkable area, breakfast okay, supermarket close by. Could've used some To Go cups but that's personal preference."

A very comfortable and friendly city where you can reach almost any place by walking enjoying jugendstil and classic architecture or green parks.
