Boa relação qualidade/preço
Pros:

Casa com algum "carisma" histórico, mas bastante acolhedora e muito bem localizada. Pequeno-almoço de qualidade (ainda que o sumo de laranja não fosse natural, o que não se entende....). Funcionários simpáticos e prestáveis. Recomendo o estacionamento da casa, pois sai mais barato do que os parques públicos das redondezas. Quarto bom e muito limpo.

Cons:

A cama era de casal mas era bastante pequena em termos de comprimento.

Alojamento fabuloso, romântico e acolhedor.
Pros:

O espaço é fabuloso. Tudo muito bem recuperado, bem decorado, harmonioso. Quarto com muito boas condições no que diz respeito às amenidades. Ao entrar, sente-se um ambiente acolhedor muito agradável.
Tudo muito limpo e bem cuidado. Os funcionários são de uma simpatia e amabilidade, super disponíveis para ajudar.
A localização é fantástica, mesmo no coração da cidade.

Cons:

A luz principal não estava a funcionar, pelo que tive que ligar os candeeiros de mesa.

Schöner Aufenthalt in historischem Gebäude mit besonderem Ambiente
Pros:

Ambiente. Im Hotel selbst gibt es in verschiedenen Sprachen einen Reiseführer für die Stadt. Außerdem gibt es viele Sitzbereiche und Aufenthaltsorte auf den Etagen. Vielfältiges Frühstück mit frischem Obst und co. Hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Pool wurde nicht gereinigt - lag ggfs. an der Jahreszeit (Oktober)?

Zimmer sind durch das alte Gemäuer eher dunkel. Klimaanlage war sehr kalt und schwer zu regulieren.
