I liked it.
Pros:

I liked the cleanliness. I liked that the staff were very nice and helped when we missed the breakfast, due to misunderstanding about the breakfast time. The chief lady was very kind and accepted the breakfast vouchers and provided what was still available.
The personality responsible for cleanliness of the rooms and the bathroom were also very collaborative.

Cons:

It would be better if the shower is isolated from the rest bathroom space by a glass or something and not a curtain.
Curtain doesn't stop the water to go further the showering space.
The entrance from the parking place to the hotel is only possible through stairs, which is a little difficult when bringing many or heavy suitcases.

Generally good and relatively good value, wouldn't advise going with car, room has a bit old feeling
Pros:

Good, generally central location. Value is fine, it was the cheapest hotel we could find I think. The staff were pleasant and helpful, whenever we had a need and we asked for something, they were there. The room is spatial enough for a family of two + a kid. The hotel lobby is decent and clean.

Cons:

The room seemed old, the toilet especially had facilities that appeared old, as did the carpets in the room and in the hallway, this gives the impression of uncleanliness, although I assume it was clean. The biggest issue was the parking, which was not well-advertised (and it's not cheap, it's 23 EUR per night), it's not really accessible and it's quite narrow at the entrance. When you park the car, reaching the hotel is hard if you are with a child or you have any movement impairment, you would need to circle around from the car entrance.
