Housed in a
listed 14th-century building in a quiet corner of the Altstadt
,
the 'white dove' is a solid
choice. Staff go out of their way to help and the warm-coloured rooms are large and well
kept (some have fortress views). Breakfast is a generous spread.

For old-fashioned elegance you can't beat this central hotel,
where rooms are dressed in polished wood furnishings and floral fabrics. There's even a
suite based on Mozart's
Magic Flute,
with a star-studded ceiling and freestanding bath. By
contrast, the spa and indoor pool are ultramodern. Organic produce is served at breakfast.

This fun-
loving hostel has got it sussed. Free wi-fi, secure lockers, comfy bunks, plenty of cheap
beer and good-value schnitzels - what more could a backpacker ask for? Except, perhaps,
a merry sing-along with the

screened daily (yes,
every
day). The friendly
