Pros:

Personal hat täglich erkundigt ob man etwas braucht

Cons:

Das Zimmer (Junior Suite) hatte den Charme einer Gefängniszelle. Zwar groß aber leer, keine Dekoration, keine Nachttischlampen, grau gestrichener optisch schmutziger Fußboden, Ausblick auf eine Wand, Dusche etc alles in einem Raum, wie eine Zelle, es haben nur noch die Gitterstäbe gefehlt. Furchtbares unpraktisches Design vom Vorbesitzer von vor 15 Jahren. Steckdosen hinter dem Nachtschrank, kein Lichtschalter oder Licht am Bett, Waschbeckenabstand furchtbar,... . Das nervigste war aber das ständige Getrampel und Gepolter aus dem Penthouse über uns. Für eine gute Bewertung gäbe es 20% auf den nächsten Aufenthalt, auch andere Hotels des Besitzers aber nicht einmal für 100% will ich wieder dahin.

Pros:

good location. good communication with staff (almost all virtual). clear instructions for virtual check in. elevator worked (though very slow as its an older building).

Cons:

This is a budget room in a good location. Room was very sparse...nearly the opposite of well appointed with an odd layout. No lamp at the bedside but a mirror on the ceiling above the sink? Concrete floors. Sheets were pilled and rough. Lipstick stains on the mirror from a prior occupant. Do not recommend room 5A.

Bueno Bonito y Barato
Pros:

La habitación era inmensa, muy limpia y bien decorada. La cama muy cómoda y con todo lo necesario. Es tal cual sale en las fotos. Cama muy cómoda, habitación bien aclimatada, bien la ropa de cama así como todo lo necesario para el baño.
El personal de recepción fantástico y muy servicial. Merece la pena reservar una suite grande por la diferencia de precio.

Cons:

Nada

good location, good price, dont forget your phone.
Pros:

Great location as you are able to walk around the gas lamp district really easily. Price was also very agreeable. Room size was good and staff was friendly.

Cons:

Only real issue is that the hotel is not staffed all the time and I could not find this information provided on any site, expedia actually lists as 24/7 fyi. Becomes an issue for a place that uses keyless locks and you lock your phone inside with no way to contact anyone onsite to get the code or let you in... I have never worked in or seen a hotel that uses home locks.

Ideal for guests looking to be close to the nightlife
Pros:

Comfortable bed, very central location, and a friendly, polite host

Cons:

The furniture and appliances showed significant wear and tear. The sofas were dirty, and there was visible scale and rust on the faucets. The suite was very noisy, as it was located directly above a bar there was loud music, traffic noise, and people shouting late into the night
