Top Marktplatz Hotel Reviews

Steinenschanze Charming City & Garden Hotel

8/10 Good

"I found the staff to be very helpful, getting me ice for my knee and with directions. The atmosphere was very pleasant; I enjoyed the garden. And the location was superb in terms of the train station and the old town - easy for me and very walkable. I found the breakfast unusual but good and I liked the attention to healthier items. I think a child from the U.S. might have a hard time with the lack of usual U.S. breakfast items, but I enjoyed the idea of a different experience and local food. My only concern was with the lack of air conditioning. I understand air conditioning is not common in Europe, but I was unprepared for the discomfort just being in the room a short time with the excessive heat and humidity. My home is very hot, but not humidy. However, the staff found me a room that did have AC, which was very comfortable."
