Visited for December Christmas markets. Be aware there is another hotel with a very similar name (Wolf rather than Wolf-Dietrich) so don't go to the wrong one by accident like I did. Friendly staff, location convenient for airport bus 2, about 15 mins walk from train station, easy walk across the river to where the main markets and other sights are located. My room was clean but extremely hot, 25C according to the completely ineffectual air conditioner which did nothing to cool the room even set on Cool function, and there was always-on underfloor heating. The heat made it hard to sleep at night. The windows did open, but there are no locks on them. As my window was at ground level to an interior accessible courtyard, it felt very insecure as someone could have reached in the open window and opened the handle to swing the window fully open. Also the walls are somewhat thin, I had a lot of noise from people returning to their rooms late in the evening, and also three nights of someone tunelessly whistling for a few hours before bedtime. The water pressure to the toilet is weak. There is only a plug on one side of the bed for charging a phone. The kettle would not stay on unless I sat there and held the button down for at least 30 seconds or more until it started to heat up. A lot of small issues (apart from the heat) but added up to not really enjoying my stay here and definitely did not sleep well. I used the pool twice, nice amenity although not very warm.
