Pros:

A nice conveniently located hotel in the centre of the city. Plenty of parking spaces. Staff kind.

Please add air one, so the windows can be kept closed, then the noise is kept outside.
Pros:

Nice old feeling hotel. Good food.

Cons:

No air con in the room caused some issues. Had to open windows to get some air in, but the night revellers were very noisy on their way home so we could sleep much. We were located by the walkway at the park. All students going home passes this hotel and don’t give much notice to anyone who tries to sleep at 3am.

Knapp 4 Sterne Hotel...
Pros:

gute Lage, gute Dusche mit Seife, Shampoo und Lotion. Schöner Essenssaal. Gutes Frühstücksangebot ausser die Brotauswahl

Cons:

Zimmer stickig ohne Klimaanlage. Böden uneben, dadurch Bett unbequem. Kleines Doppelzimmer mit wenig Stauraum für 2 Pers. Sieht auf der Website besser aus als in Realität.

A lovely stay
Pros:

This hotel has off street parking and includes an excellent full English breakfast. We were able to walk to the Richard the Third Visitor Center down the peaceful New Walk. We ate at the pub/restaurant in the building, very convenient. The receptionist was extremely helpful and very gracious. We also appreciated the fan in the room.

I WOULD RECOMMEND AND GLADLY RETURN DISPITE MY EXPERIENCE
Pros:

Very helpful, welcoming and pleasant staff... Aurora - breakfast staff could not fault them and chefs in the kitchen "eggcellent".

Cons:

Bed was comfortable however when changing position you could hear the springs. Paid for an extention however was told I had to leave early didn’t have my receipt at the time to show my extension. However to save myself the embarrassment quickly removed my things... however the other receptionist showed the gentleman that ask me to leave that I had an extension. I was told I could bring my things back however I'd already packed my car so I took a refund.
