Lets not get too bogged down with the "is this really a 5 star hotel" debate, I've stayed in newer, far more up to date, far more luxurious hotels boasting 5 stars and some not so modern or comfortable.
We arrived in the early evening having driven from the airport to find that the outside carpark was full requiring us to park up on the street outside. Sorry but I'm not going to pay somewhere in the region of 15 Euro per night just to park my hire car in the hotel garage. Be Aware - there are parking restrictions on the main street - Read the signs.
For me the mature trees and grassed area around the patio to the front of the hotel set the scene, walking in through the front door makes a further impression, something traditional, something special. Old, comfortable and welcoming. Check in was simple and efficient, room upgrade offered and accepted due to very reasonable rate. The room wasn't the biggest I've ever stayed in but spotlessly clean and well equipped. ( My only criticism - No coffee machine ). Large flatscreen TV allows programs to be view in 'English' which helped with Game of Thrones :-)
Lots of facilities / services offered by the hotel but as we on a sightseeing trip we didn't really have the time to take advantage of these or the two first class restaurants unfortunately. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the service provided by the staff was first class and the diningroom is typically German high standard. Its only about a 5 minute walk into town - Enjoy
