Pros:

Lo que más nos gustó fueron las camas, la tranquilidad, el desayuno (no mucha variedad pero suficiente) y cercanía con el transporte

Cons:

No nos gustó que estábamos alojados en el sótano del edificio; es decir, la luz natural era insuficiente.

So insanely hot I couldn’t do it.
Pros:

The location was good and it had charm.

Cons:

No air conditioning and the fan provided did nothing. It was hotter inside than outside. Even hotter in the room than the hallway. It was unbearable. I wanted to leave but I had already paid the nights. The staff was not always friendly or trying to please their guests.

würde ich wieder besuchen, aber nicht bei sommerlichen Temperaturen.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war wunderschön eingerichtet, wir hatten Blick auf den winzigen Garten, das Frühstück war in Ordnung und bot einige Alternativen für Vegetarier, die nächste U Bahn Haltestelle war nur 6 min zu Fuß die Straße runter, einchecken und auschecken lief problemlos, es war sauber. Das Bett war hervorragend, sehr gut geschlafen

Cons:

Das Zimmer war in der ersten schlimmen Hitzewelle des Jahres sehr stickig, die Lüftung im Bad schien praktisch kaum zu funktionieren, die Tür zum Bad schloß nicht richtig, keine Klimaanlage, morgens 29 Grad im Frühstücksraum. Das Personal war ok, hat auf Anfragen reagiert, aber war ansonsten desinteressiert.

Pros:

Lovely design of the room and great for solo traveller. Staff nice and a good location.

Cons:

Overhead fan was extremely loud so couldn’t have it on for very long. Breakfast unavailable earlier on the Sunday which was a shame but can’t be helped
