A good place to stay.
Pros:

With a bicycle, the location was nice.

Cons:

The bed.
My experience with beds in the European locations I have visited, is that the beds are much too soft for my comfort.
Consider that whether or not that your preferred mattress is soft.

Amazing!
Pros:

The room had a nice view of the street and got an excellent breeze. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure was excellent! The person at the front desk gave a lot of useful information for sight seeing around the area.

Cons:

The stairs are very steep which they are honest about in the posting. Not necessarily a dislike as the hotel is a nice spot but just some information.
