Hotel zur alten Stadtmauer

Located in a pleasant part of the old town, the rear overlooking the lake, this is a modest two star hotel. There are over 20 rooms across four floors and so there are lots of stairs to climb for some guests - not a problem for me but could be for some. My room, 19, was quite spacious and well-equipped and overlooked the lake. The decor and furnishings are a bit garish: bright orange, lime green and red, which seems to be deliberate rather than odd taste. The buffet breakfast has a good selection of dishes for a hotel of this size. My only slight misgiving is that, being family run, the staff to guest ratio is quite low and when several guests were trying to check out the reception staff seemed overstretched.

A quirky, colourful family owned hotel, everything was good, staff very friendly and helpful. It has its own parking but loading and unloading slightly difficult owing to narrow street. The only down side was the stairs (we were on the top floor) but the staff helped me carry my cases. The breakfast was also one of the best we had.

Charming and well-run small hotel within 10 minutes of center of Old City, itself close to various local attractions. A family hotel, freshly and imaginatively decorated, with an excellent breakfast. No lift.
