10/10 Excellent
"Excellent reception and restaurant staff. Fabulous extra large bed and the bus transfer was also a massive benefit with a friendly driver. Would recommend if you need to be close to the airport."

The Rhine promenade is superb for a leisurely stroll or a boat trip, offering lovely views of the city. There are numerous casual eateries and ice cream parlours scattered throughout, making refuelling with hungry little ones a breeze. Public transport connections are excellent from here, too.
