My stay at the Hotel Altstadt was a delightful experience. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfy, providing a perfect stay for us, although a pull-out queen bed would have been preferable. The staff was very attentive and welcoming, always eager to assist with any request. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of the trendy Museumsquartier district, offering easy access to restaurants, bars, and shops. The dining experience was fantastic with great coffee, crispy bacon, and fresh fruit available until 11 A.M.
