Absolutely great hotel
Pros:

This is one of the best hotels I have stayed in – and I travel a lot. The hotel is located just steps from the old city. The rooms are modern, clean, spacious, quiet, and loaded with every amenity you need, from a coffee maker and mini bar to toiletries and a complementary rubber duck! The air-conditioning worked perfectly during one of the worst heat waves in recent history. And the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The breakfast was ample enough, and we liked the flavored water and fresh fruit available to guests in the lobby. There was even parking nearby that we used, and that made our trip so much easier. Well we did not use the game room or the gym, nor did we sit in the lovely area outside because it was too hot hot, I appreciate appreciated that such facilities are available.
There is not a single thing I can fault — and everything to praise!

Cons:

Leaving!

Cons:

Lo staff non ci ha comunicato che la sera la porta dell’ingresso dell’albergo sarebbe stata chiusa e si poteva aprire con un codice che non ci è stato comunicato. Per cui una sera siamo rimasti fuori e abbiamo avuto difficoltà per entrare

Bis auf die Bauarbeiten war es sehr gut.
Cons:

Vor dem Haus wird die ganze Straße neu gemacht, so dass lauter Baulärm ab 08:90 Uhr war.
