Having just flown in from America, my parents and I were struggling to find accommodations for 3 people in the old city on short notice. Hotel Regina was the Godsend which took us in. The delightful front desk receptionist set us up with an extremely affordable double room (more of a suite) as well as a single room—both of which were stunningly clean and quiet. The hotel itself possesses a perfect blend of modern and traditional decor/features. Nostalgic neo-luddite that I am, I especially appreciated the hotel’s maintenance of physical keys and locks, rather than digitized key cards. They also have their own parking lot for €10 euro per night. (Our jet-lagged brains missed the lot on the first pass, so the receptionist exited the building to guide us there; as you can well see, they provide superb customer service.) A truly edifying German breakfast (for only another €10 each!) in a cozy breakfast nook ended our stay.
I see some picky reviews here. It is true that the shower does suffer from an inverse relationship between pressure and temperature. However, as my plumbing at home has similar issues, such a small thing did not bother me; perfection is impossible this side of the grave. If such things perturb you, there are always predictable and unimaginative corporate chains. (I will note what others have: the mattresses might not work for someone with back problems. This is a legitimate criticism, but it didn’t phase me in the least. I slept like the dead for nine hours in perfect darkness, silence, and comfort.) I unambiguously recommend Hotel Regina to all travelers.
