Great value basic accommodation in a fabulous location
Pros:

Fabulous location in a characterful property in the old town, a stone’s throw from main sights, shops and restaurants. Good breakfast and friendly staff.
This is a budget hotel, but if you are prepared to trade a bit of luxury for character and prime location then it’s a great choice.

Cons:

A little basic, but see above.

Pros:

gute Lage zum Hafen, Flughafen und zu Stadt. Ordentliches Zimmer, alles da, was man benötigt. Eine gute Wahl für einen Städtetrip.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist gut, bis darauf, dass es nur Toast und kein Brot oder Bötchen gibt. Das Bad ist extrem klein.

Pros:

Nie za duży, ale za to czysty i komfortowy pokój. Było wszystko, co potrzeba. Bardzo wygodne łóżka.
Blisko do Starego Miasta, ale też do tramwaju jeśli chce się pojechać gdzieś dalej (świetnie skomunikowany z lotniskiem).
Śniadania dobre, codziennie owoce.

Pros:

A superb location in the old town close to a car park.

Cons:

In my single room the bathroom was a new definition of "tiny" (I am a man of average proportions). Moreover, I do not like the idea that room service should be specifically invited to make the room with default beaing "do not enter". The default should be "make the room unless asked not to do so" - as is the rule everywhere else.

Pros:

J'étais très bien accueilli à l'hôtel. L'hôtel était dans l'ancienne partie de la ville ce qui m'a permis d'explorer pleinement la ville. Le personnel de l'hôtel était très amicale et m'ont orienté vers les choses intéressantes à voir dans la ville.
