A lovely stay all in all, but there are definitely money-saving ventures afoot that affected our stay significantly.
Pros:

A gorgeous building in a great location.
The breakfast was lovely and the place was spotlessly clean. Lots of history in the building and the great German experience we were looking for.
Great shower in the room, great storage space.
Comfy mattress.

Cons:

The room amenities were extremely sparse.
No tea or coffee facilities, we had to go to the first floor for this to a separate area and the two times I went the coffee machine was not on - I’ve never had a hotel room with no tea or coffee facilities.
The pillows and towels were cheap and thinning.
The staff were friendly enough, on the Sunday we arrived back to the hotel and 7 o’clock for a drink and it was completely closed up - bar and restaurant lights out and no staff member anywhere.
There is a courtyard to the back of the hotel that a lot of rooms look out onto and it was very overgrown and sad looking, wouldn’t take much to spruce this up and cheer the place up a bit.

Glad to leave
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The carpet in the room was probably 20 years old and poorly maintained, the door to the bathroom was coming off the hinges and could not close, and the bathtub was designed for an olympic hurdler. Badly in need of maintenance and repair

Pros:

Locatie is prima, dichtbij de parkeergarage en in het centrum.
Oud mooi pand.

Cons:

Het bed is al een poosje aan vervanging toe, veel te zacht en bij omdraaien moet je oppassen dat je niet uit bed rolt. Vind ik niet kunnen!
