sehr gut
Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstücksbüffet mit viel Auswahl, Super ruhiges Zimmer weit oben, Guter Startpunkt zum Erkunden der Stadt zu Fuß, nahe genug am Bahnhof inkl. ruhigem direkten Fußweg dorthin, Tram direkt um die Ecke

Cons:

Zimmer anfangs sehr kalt und Heizung ging fast gar nicht, nach dem Entlüften (DIY ;) ging am schnellsten) der Heizkörper aber alles gut

Gut für einen Städtetrip
Pros:

Sehr gutes Frühstück
Angenehme Ausstattung
Etwas am Rand der Innenstadt, was ich aber oft bewusst wähle, und trotzdem alles fußläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Permanente Lüfterrauschen und Raumluft sehr warm und drückend, trotz Lüften.

Pros:

Kaikki oli hienosti, huone hiljainen ja siisti. Henkilökunta ystävällistä. Aamupala oli monipuolinen eikä sunnuntainakaan ollut 10 aikaa pahaa ruuhkaa.

Cons:

Huoneessa oli tosi lämmin.

Pros:

Todella monipuolinen aamiainen, pikku lusikoita ei ollut jälkiruoka pöydässä onneksi eräs pöydässä me käytti sokeria kahvissa ja sanoi ottaneensa lusikan kahvi tarjoilu pöydästä.

Cons:

Saunan ollessa remontissa emme halunneet käyttää sitä palvelua koska yhteinen rauhallinen aamiainen oli hankala sovittaa siihen, ehkä ensi kerralla varmistan että sauna sopii aikatauluun 🤗

hyvä hinta-laatusuhde työmatkayöpymiseen.
Pros:

hyvä aamiainen, täysin riittävä. Rakennus ehkä paikoin peruskorjauksen tarpeessa. Huone oli superior-huone, joten pinnat oli uusittu. Yöpöydät ja niiden päällä olevat kolkot valaisimet eivät ole kovin toimivat. Hotelli oli rauhallinen ja hiljainen yöaikana. Ukoa kuului vähän liikenteen melua, mutta kaupungissa se on normaalia.

Cons:

Kylpyhuoneessa haisi virtsa, mikä latisti kyllä kokemusta.
