Mukava paikka hyvällä sijainnilla kaupunkilomalle
Pros:

Ihanaa vanhan ajan tunnelmaa, hyvä paikka ja mukava henkilökunta. Alakerran ravintola ja musiikkiesitykset loistavat

Cons:

Kylpyhuoneremontissa olisi voinut kunnioittaa vanhaa tunnelmaa. Remontti oli vielä niin tuore, että maalin haju häiritsi

We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay, close to the main attractions of the City.
Pros:

We had a lovely room. Clean, spacious and comfortable. The location was great - just 10/15 minutes walk to the centre. The staff we met were very helpful and friendly.

Cons:

The cooked breakfast option was a bit chaotic. However the continental option was good.

Great stay. Lovely staff!!!
Pros:

Breakfast average but really enjoyed restaurant and the cafe outdoors. Gorgeous communal lounges which are very voluptuous. Our rooms did not reflect the luxury of the lobby and lounges. Ok but quite basic.
Extremely hot but we’re in a heatwave however I think all hotels need to consider air conditioning now!

Cons:

More luxurious touches in rooms that reflect the lobby and lounges downstairs. I didn’t have a bath mat on my first night and no box of tissues? No robes but too hot for that anyway.
Air conditioning please!!!

Hotel schön, zentral, aber laut
Pros:

Mitarbeitende waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit, jeden Abend war Musik im unteren Restaurant, Frühstücksbuffet war auch gut, das Hotel an sich hat viel Charme, ist schön eingerichtet und ist gemütlich

Cons:

Zimmer eher klein. Kaum Platz, um die Koffer abzustellen, keine Haken für Kleidung oder Handtücher, sehr laut Tag und Nacht (wir hatten Zimmer zur Strasse), Hotel sehr hellhörig
