Maison Kammerzell

very pleasant room, very comfortable bed, great wifi signal despite the fact that it was the top floor room, very good water pressure

i had the towels changed every day despite me not leaving them on the floor but neetly having them put away in hangers. i found it annoying and to be sincere also quite disconcerting that nowadays a hotel just acts against any basic sustainability criteria.

Location: Aesthetically, it cannot be beat. The exterior is oozing with charm, and it’s just steps from the cathedral—no exaggeration. It’s convenient for walking around town. Perfect location. Bathroom was a good size. Shower head removable, water temperatures good, water pressure good. Lovely traditional beams, woodwork, painting, etc. Breakfast was a normal, adequate European breakfast.

Parking: “street parking” is a deceptive description for the parking situation. After I circled the area several times, I called the hotel and asked where the street parking was. They said the Gutenberg parking garage. €40/day is not “street parking”. Anyway, that parking is just down the road, a quick walk (but kind of a pain across cobblestone with suitcases in tow). Noise level: Cathedral bells are right outside. That didn’t bother me, though (I found it charming). What *DID* bother me—greatly—was the noise of clanging bottles being wheeled around and tossed, from the hotel restaurant. It was SO LOUD and went on while I was trying to get to sleep (think: midnight) and before I was ready to wake (think: 0630). I personally would not stay here again, purely because of the loud clanging of bottles. Nope nope nope. Room: tiny (a double) but adequate. The beams (which I love) made the room seem smaller, and I’d imagine that would be more of an issue for a larger person, who would hit their head repeatedly. Bathroom: Beams are Very intrusive at the sink. Even a small person is elbowing beams. NOTE: you had to step over the side of the tub to get into our shower—it was not a walk-in—so if accessibility matters, ask. Elevator: the elevator is tiny.

The location was great. Right at the Cathedral and Christmas Market. Easy walking to everything.
