Pros:

Fridge in the room, 2x complimentary waters, clean

Cons:

Bad soundproofing! When I went up to floor 2 first thing I hear in the hallway is a woman screaming in pleasure then got woken up early morning to a kid next door screaming.

You've to €10 pay for parking as a guest (not sure if per night or per stay but still)

Too warm in the room. No controls, just a desk fan to turn on but obviously can't sleep with that on, well I can't anyway.

Pillows too thick for my liking.

Great location, really nice rooms and great front desk staff!
Pros:

The room was very comfortable. We actually moved from the first room, as it did not have air conditioning. We went back down to reception and were quickly offered another room. It had a back hotel view, but we could see a lot of the city, so it was excellent.

Cons:

In the back of the hotel, sometimes you could hear the steady hum of the fans down below.....kitchen or air conditioning fans....but I know they have to go somewhere. It did not sound too loud at night, so we were pretty good with it.
