Really decent hotel, had absolutely no issues here and it's right next to the chocolate museum. Little walk to the cathedral/main restaurant area. If you have the window open you can hear road traffic, but very soundproofed with the windows closed and generally comfortable.

Good stay

The Lindt chocolate factory is just in front on the hotel. All is walking distance by the river. The bed is comfortable. Room is clean. If you don’t drink water with gas then try to ask if u could change it, i didn’t have time to do it.
