Pros:

Die Nähe zum Rhein, dem Dom. Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt.

Cons:

Man hört den Straßenlärm, der angrenzenden Kreuzung durch die geschlossen Fenster. Das war etwas störend.

Pros:

Lage war für meine Zwecke optimal.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hatte kaum Tageslicht und auch nur eine sehr grelle Deckenleuchte, keine Nachttischlampe, um vom Bett aus Licht zu machen.
