Prima verblijf, wij hebben genoten
Pros:

Het is gewoon een simpel schoon verblijf. Kan in de nacht aan de straat kant wat rumoerig zijn. Ontbijt is goed voor de €10,-.

Cons:

De kamers zouden iets aangkleder mogen worden en de rekjes in de badkamer goed aan de muur gemonteerd mogen worden.

Das Personal war freundlich, das Frühstück liebevoll hergerichtet, alles zusammen eher mäßig.
Pros:

Frühstück und Lage waren sehr gut.

Cons:

Ich hatte ein Einzelzimmer. Das Bad sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Keine Ablage. Muffiger "Kellergeruch", der auch durch permanentes Lüften nicht wegging.
Nach 2 Nächten von dreien bekam ich ein anderes Zimmer mit Austritt auf den Balkon, der sehr vernachlässigt aussah.
Längere Zeit nicht gefegt worden, überquellender Aschenbecher. Und wenn schon Blumenkästen, dann sollte sich auch jemand drum kümmern.

Bien pour une courte durée
Pros:

La localisation (à 10/15 minutes de beaucoup de choses et rue très calme)

Cons:

Le matelas beaucoup trop mou
Pas d’insonorisation (j’entendais chaque porte claquer et le voisin ronfler)
La propreté limite du linge de maison
Le manque de lumière dans la chambre (c’était très très sombre donc un peu déprimant)

Prijs kwaliteit klopt, niet te duur en ook niet perfect.
Pros:

De locatie was bijna perfect, op loopafstand vanaf de Dom. Het ontbijt was goed, alles was er behalve vers fruit was er bijna niet.
Prijs kwaliteit klopt het wel. Voor een bed in de Altstad was het prima.

Cons:

De bedden waren niet helemaal schoon, badkamer klein, in de douche deuren zat een kier en de kamer was niet heel goed afgewerkt allemaal. Er qas geen koffie en thee in de kamer en geen extta deken voor als je het koud hebt.
Veel pratende mensen in de nacht op het binnen plaatsje.

Siisti hotelli, hyvä sijainti, kelpo aamiainen. Ei muita palveluita. Pysäköintimahdollisuus läheisessä parkkihallissa.
Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti. Aamiainen ihan kelpo. Pysäköintihalli lähellä.

Cons:

Kadunpuolen huoneeseen kuului kaikki äänet kadulta, myös yöllä. Ikkuna ei ollut tiivis.
