FILM HOTEL
The Film Hotel might have been just another no-frills three-star hotel if its 13 rooms weren't named after Hollywood celebrities or if their portraits didn't adorn the walls. It's good value for money, centrally located, and at least you could say that Brad Pitt or Brigitte Bardot would be “waiting for you” after a hard day's sightseeing.

THE CASTLE
Inside the castle are housed two museums, one focusing on history and the other on music. The building itself is actually rather austere but it does offer a bird's eye view of the city's old town as well as the Danube down below.
