Hotel Josefshof am Rathaus
Fantastic hotel. Staff and rooms were excellent. Clean and central location. Will be back. As a platinum VIP Expedia member however, I was not told of any of the benefits until check out. Which is a shame as the service was flawless.

Room was good. Location was good. Staff good. Only issue was the room temper which cannot be regulated from ten room. Far too warm for us.
