Pros:

Номер и отель полностью соответствовали фотографиям и описанию на booking. Отель имеет отличное расположение от главных достопримечательностей, и от моря, и от трамвайной остановки. Стильный интерьер, хороший завтрак, с выбором блюд, в том числе горячих. Номер был с видом на море, красивый балкон, где летом приятно будет отдыхать. Кофе и чай можно купить на reception.

Pros:

Nettes, ruhig gelegenes Hotel in interessantem, alten Gemäuer. Alles fußläufig gut erreichbar, freundliches Personal, mega Frühstück und das alles für einen Spottpreis im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern.

Cons:

Das "Design" der Dusche ist nicht so wirklich clever, man flutet das ganze Bad......aber ein Abzieher liegt bereit, damit kann man das Wasser am Boden wieder zurück in die Dusche schieben ;)
Das Bett empfand ich etwas kurz.

Great place with big windows and comfy bed. Everything was in walking distance and didn't need to use any transportation.

No table in the room to have breakfast in, but it wasn't a big deal.
