Gute Lage zum Hafen und zur Stadt !
Pros:

Super Lage und schön renoviert! Die Möbel und die gesamte Einrichtung war nordisch schlicht, aber geschmackvoll. Das Frühstück für 12 €uro war voll okay 👌🏻!

La habitación era pequeñísima, no nos podíamos mover. Era súper incómoda.
Relación calidad precio muy mal.

Buena ubicación, hotel cómodo para hacer turismo por toda la ciudad
Pros:

La ubicación es extraordinaria, dentro de la muralla medieval. El hotel en relación calidad precio está genial, no sé le puede exigir más por el módico precio. Estaba limpio. La chica de la recepción nos ofreció la habitación bastante antes del check-in oficial.

Cons:

La privacidad de la habitación. Estaba en la planta calle y veíamos muy cerca a la gente bajar por las escaleras de detrás. Teníamos que tener cuidado no nos vieran cambiarnos de ropa, por lo que tuvimos que estar sin luz natural. El hotel es cómodo, y por recalcar algo que me guste menos, aunque aún así mereció la pena.

Pros:

Hotelli on viehättävä, entinen koulurakennus vanhan kaupungin laidalla. Huoneista on kauniit näkymät vanhaan kaupunkiin tai puistoon. Sängyt ovat mukavat. Aamupalalla on runsaasti vaihtoehtoja, erilaisia hedelmiä, salaattia ja hyvää, haudutettua puuroa.

Cons:

Hiustenkuivaaja on tehoton, ne olisi hyvä uusia.

Pros:

Die Lage in der Altstadt.

Cons:

Das Zimmer 408 war extrem klein, das Bad war winzig. Die Tür zum Bad ließ sich nur zum Viertel öffnen, da die Tür gegen das Bett schlug, daher musste man seitlich ins Bad gehen. Die Dusche minimal mit Duschvorhang, der einem am Hintern klebte - ein Albtraum. Wir hatten ein Doppel Comfort Zimmer gebucht, laut Beschreibung bei Booking.com sollte Tee- und Kaffezubehör im Zimmer sein, war aber nicht. Auf Nachfrage wurde lapidar geantwortet haben wir nicht.

Personal war sehr reserviert.
