Potentially solid hotel but needs a good clean
Pros:

Breakfast was decent

Cons:

It was very dirty. Spiderwebs and dust everywhere. Booked a room for four ppl (2 adults and 2 kids). We were given a room with a double bed and a single. When I queried this we were told the double was a triple so with the sofa bed it was enough for four. Sofa bed was so uncomfortable, I would have been better on the floor - if it wasn’t so dirty

Ungepflegt. Der vergleichsweise günstige Preis verlangt (zu) große Opfer!9
Pros:

Zweckmäßige und.komfortable Möbilierung.
Für mich günstige Lage zwischen Bahnhof und Innenstadt.

Cons:

Schmutziger, fleckiger Teppichboden.
Verstopfter Waschbeckenabfluss.
Undichter Wasserhahn am Waschbecken.
Keine Klimaanlage, aber defekte Fenstergriffe. - deshalb waren die Fenster waren nur ganz zu öffnen und nicht kippbar.
Die Bilder vom Hotel auf booking.com machten einen besseren Eindruck als das Hotel vor Ort.

Für den Preis in Ordnung, Hotel hat die besten Zeiten hinter sich
Pros:

Lage gut, Altstadt, Öffis schnell erreichbar, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es waren wegen der Hitze Ventilatoren zur Verfügung gestellt.

Cons:

Die Zimmerausstattung ist eigentlich wertig, wird nur leider weder pfleglich behandelt, noch besonders geputzt, vieles ist abgeschlagen, kaputt, abgewohnt.
Es stand ein Kühlschrank im Zimmer, der innen stark gestunken hat, auf dem Balkon eine angebrochene Getränkeflasche und viel Taubenkot.
