We stayed at the Admiral Hotel during the first week of the World Cup, and had a great stay. The attention to detail started before we arrived. I was able to correspond by email with the hotel before arrival, and get their advice on train travel within Germany, and other travel planning. Three days before arrival I received a fax outlining the area of the city that was to be closed due to a street festival, and directions to the hotel around the closure.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to the main pedestrian area, and almost everything you could desire (shopping, restaurants, village square) is within walking distance (10-15 min) with the exception of the train station which about 20-25 min. The rooms are small, but well appointed. Those on the street side can be noisy during the day with the windows open, but it quiets down at night. There is parking across the street in a locked lot for a small fee.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. One morning after coming in late the previous evening from a soccer match, they prepared a small breakfast for our children who couldn't make it down before the breakfast closed. Speaking of which, the hearty breakfast in the morning is very good and filling.
They are also very good with dinner suggestions, travel tips, and just overall advice. If you are looking for an affordable, friendly hotel in a safe location stay at the Admiral.
