Supergut, superangenehm.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war reichhaltig. Außergewöhnlich war eine echte Honigwabe am Buffet.
Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich.
Im Zimmer gab es einen kleinen Kühlschrank und einen Wasserkocher.
Gut platzierte Leuchten im Bad, seitlich am Spiegel.
Es war sehr ruhig auf der Etage. Zur Sicherheit der Gäste konnte man den Fahrstuhl nur mit der Schlüsselkarte bedienen.

Cons:

In der Duschkabine hing eine kaputte Duschcremespender an der Wand. Traurig.
Ich denke, auffüllbare Spender sind umweltfreundlicher als kleine Shampoo- und Duschcremefläschchen. Spender wären auch handlicher anzuwenden als Miniflaschen.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Top!
Pros:

Also, wenn ich die Möglichkeit hätte, würde ich statt 5 Sterne 15 Sterne für dieses Hotel, vor allem für das Personal vergeben.
Absolut empfehlenswert! Top!

Essen zentral, wir kommen wieder.
Pros:

Super Lage, zentral gegenüber vom Bahnhof, aber sehr leise, keine größeren Geräusche. Direkte Anbindung zu Bahn und Straßenbahn. Man ist stolz auf seine lange Geschichte und das wird super über Bilder dokumentiert, hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich, großer Frühstücksraum. Wir kommen wieder und zwar schon im Juni

Cons:

Nichts zu meckern
