CityClass Hotel Alter Markt

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the Dom Suite- my 6yo, spouse and I. Very clean, very good shower, good air conditioning for 70-80F weather. Opened windows at night to cool down. Spectacular view of the cathedral. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of cold/hot options. Staff let us store luggage for free. Checked out at 11am. Can walk to Rhein Seilbahn, Rheinpark, Ferris wheel and Chocolate museum. Toy stores, shopping, and restaurants nearby. 10/15min walk from Train station. Love the hotel. Great value for the money. $250/night."
