My two stays with this hotel were extremely positive, netting an upgrade to the courtyard-facing Junior Suite once, and a street-facing Executive-Suite on the second stay. I would not consider the courtyard-facing rooms to be inferior in any way. In fact, I much preferred the view of the nice courtyard to a view of Bayerstrasse and the Hauptbahnhof.
My stays were around New Years (low season). I can imagine it would be a bit more difficult to score an upgrade at this hotel during the peak summer season. However, I found the staff at the hotel to be quite friendly and helpful, and would definitely stay there again.
