What makes the hotel special

Travel Gay recommends Lyskirchen as an old-town hotel “just a couple of minutes’ walk from the gay bars”, and GayOut lists it as “gay-popular” with a gay-friendly reputation. It’s a classic city hotel and the right choice if you have your eye on the Heumarkt scene rather than the Bermuda Triangle.
