Hotel Ulmer Spatz

Location, location, location. You are literally in the shadow of Ulmer Münster cathedral - the tallest and perhaps largest in the world. It has pews to hold 10,000 people. I could have thrown a tennis ball and bounced it off the wall of the cathedral from my third floor room. The views in the evening and morning were spectacular, as were the bells. The room itself (No.28, third floor) was quirky in layout, but that made it more fun. They’ve been updated nicely, with newer bathroom fixtures. Luxurious and flawless wouldn’t describe the room, but unique, fun, comfortable, hip, clean, and a few minor imperfections would. We opened the three windows wide, let the cool night air in, and it was magical. It had two rooms and two showers, a bunk bed and a standard double bed. Nice duvets, a sitting room. Toilet is kind of…open. There is only a sliding, frosted glass door shutting it off from the rest of the room - kind of amusing. One of the showers is off the sitting room, also lightly frosted glass. All of this would be fine for a family. Less so for two couples, or a group of four friends. Kids though, and adventurous parents, would love it.
