Zu teuer für das was es ist.
Pros:

Es liegt zentral.

Cons:

Etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Und was hier designt sein soll blieb mir schleierhaft.

Der var ret lydt, jeg vågnede når personen i værelset ovenover mig gik rundt. Ellers var der virkeligt dejlig.

Slept like a baby.
Pros:

Bed was heavenly. V quiet. Nice chocolate bunnies.

Cons:

Seemed further from city center than advertised. It was also under extensive renovation so the smell of fresh paint permeated the lobby/breakfast area.
