Pros:

Hotellet ligger centralt. Badrummet var fresht.

Cons:

Litet rum, liten säng. Det var ingen frukostbuffé utan man fick välja mellan olika frukosttallrikar. Tallrikarna innehöll lite olika frukost alternativ, detta var lite ovanligt.

Consigliato
Pros:

La posizione è il punto di forza.
A pochi minuti da tutti i servizi e difronte a molti pub / ristoranti .
Struttura carina ma un po’ cigolante e ovviamente l’odore della moquette si sente forte .
Stanza carina e abbastanza spaziosa .
Bagno e doccia comodi .
L’hotel di fornisce i suoi adattatori per le prese elettriche .

Cons:

La pulizia della stanza un po’ approssimativa . Al nostro arrivo ho trovato vicino al letto la carta di una caramella e il letto è stato rifatto lasciato al suo interno un pacco di caramelle lasciate per sbaglio da noi prima di uscire ( quindi hanno solo tirato su le coperte senza attenzione ) .
Nessuna presa vicino al letto ( poco comodo per la sveglia ) .
Letto piccolo e scomodo .

Katastrophe
Pros:

Der einzige Vorteil ist die Lage.

Cons:

Kein Hotel, nur eine Unterkunft. Frühstück über der Strasse in einem anderen Lokal. Die ganze Zeit unmöglicher Lärm durch Wärmepumpe vom Nachbarhaus. An Schlaf war nicht zu denken. Nach Beschwerde bekam ich nur Ohrstöpsel. Personal war anscheinend darauf vorbereitet.

Excellent location and room. Superb value .
Pros:

Location superb. I had booked a single room and was pleased to see a double /queen bed. The hotel was everything I needed for 1 night.

Cons:

I was just a bit unsure about the luggage room, whereby you were given a key and dropped your own luggage off and picked it up. They do tell you to leave laptops etc with reception, and that it it is at your own risk.
