Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich
"Nice enough hotel but somehow felt meager. Needed to put room key in wall-slot for electricity. Towels hard to come by. No a la carte breakfast options (only expensive fixe-prix which had too much processed meat and cheese to be palatable for us in the morning...so we went elsewhere.) Nice place ..."
