Alright for somewhere to rest your head after a day of wandering around the city. Not much space in the sleeping area f
Pros:

Location was very lively

Cons:

Very basic room although bathroom facilities were spotless. Spotted 2 mice in the corridor the morning we were leaving. There was nobody on reception to notify so just left keys on desk and left.

Tolle Lage und gemütlich
Pros:

Die Lage vom Hotel ist einfach umwerfend toll. Es ist alles zu Fuß erreichbar und man ist mitten drin.

Cons:

Preis-Leistung war absolut überteuert. Da wir aber in der Festivalzeit da waren,wars nicht anders zu erwarten

Rapporto qualità prezzo nn eccellente
Pros:

Posizione strategica.colazione. Camerina carina. Non grande. Letti abbastanza comodi. Personale gentile

Cons:

Ci hanno dato una camera rumorosa al primo piano, nonostante avessi chiesto piano alto silenziosa. Cambiata subito con altra senza oscuranti alla finestra, con sveglia alle 5 del mattino. Ci hanno quindi ricambiato la camera con una con gli oscuranti funzionanti. Quindi 3 cambi di camera in 2 giorni

Pleasant enough hotel in a fun old building.
Pros:

A handsome old building in a central part of the city with friendly staff and a comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. As with most rooms during the Festival it’s not cheap but it’s pretty decent.

Cons:

The window of my room wouldn’t open properly. The decor is quite self-consciously modern but it’s fine.
