Pros:

Die Lage

Cons:

Das Badezimmer hatte kein Fenster und es hat nach Kanal gestunken. In der Dusche kam einem aus den Ecken Brauner Dreck entgegen. Es war staubig, wirkte sehr unhygienisch.
Das Bett war schlecht überzogen.
Der Preis für eine Übernachtung ist für das was einem „geboten“ wird völlig überteuert. Das Zimmer entspricht nicht mal den durchschnittlichen Standards.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Great location, breakfast & staff. Lovely ambience in the building with traditional architecture.

Cons:

Parking is unclear resulting in a hefty penalty while going into the hotel to ask where to park. Articulating clearly on the hotel’s website available parking near the hotel would greatly benefit travellers.

Quite bad sleep and could have found a better new one with better silent rooms, brighter, new and clean looking ones.
Pros:

Very good location close to central station, breakfast is good but not proportional to the price

Cons:

Quite old building and very non-sound proof, explaining the ear plugs provided; problematic showing tubes; lights also very old to use. Sofa looks quite old, worn out and dirty. Door cannot be checked easily from inside if properly locked because only a button to press and presumably locked the door.

Pros:

Tolle Lage, auf dem ersten Blick mit Flair, freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Schon recht in die Jahre gekommen, Bad renovierungsbedürftig. Regalbrett versperrt halbes Waschbecken, unangenehme Gerüche aus dem Abfluss, Duschen in der Badewanne mit wenig Wasserdruck und schwankender Temperatur.
Keine Wasserflache zur Begrüssung, kein Wasserkocher, kein Kühlschrank, keine Klimaanlage. Sehr hellhörig sowohl vonFlur und Nachbarzimmer( laute Gespräche) als auch von draußen, wo ständig ein sehr lautes Gebläse läuft, das Gespräche im Raum bei geöffnetem Fenster verhindert. Schade!
