Comfortable and Affordable
Hotel Weierich is a small hotel, in a 450 year old building. It is located in the old part of town, well within walking distance of the historical buildings and monuments in the city. It is a distance to the train station - I would estimate 3 to 4 miles, so a taxi is the best route to/from the hotel. Cost was less than $10 Euro, including tip.
The hotel has a small lobby, breakfast room and separate dining room/pub. Many of the lobby furnishings appear to be antiques, and the chandeliers are quite fascinating. My room was comfortable, a double bed, small television, chair and armoir, with a shower and toilet. The room faced the street, however, there is not much auto traffic, so there was not much street noise at all.
I paid $50 Euro for my 1 night stay, which included a traditional German continental breakfast of breads, musli, yogurt, coffee, juice, various sliced meats and cheese. The staff were extremely outgoing and friendly. I ate dinner in the restaurant - the waitress did not speak English, and my German was simple, and there was not an English menu. She was so concerned that she got the chef and brought him to my table - he spoke English. Dinner was good, Salmon and potatoes, with a very good white house wine. I prearranged a taxi for 6:30 am the next morning, and it arrived on time (another indication that the staff takes care of details).
Unique Quality: The chandeliers in the lobby area were something I have never seen. Antlers and carved people - I'll post a picture because I could never describe this correctly.
Great location for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site on foot.
No elevator - people with difficulties climbing stairs should not stay here.
