Hotel Scheuble
Perfect location. Easy walk to Old Town. Staff extremely nice. Breakfast pretty basic for the price. Would go out to a cafe for better hot drinks and eats. Room was clean and had plenty of plug ins to charge our electronics. Great hairdryer! Bathroom doors were a little weird - frosted sliding glass ...

Spotless room and shower in a small but well staffed hotel just across the canal from the main translation. Ideal for a short stay and convenience to everything in the city.
