Gut
Pros:

Das Frühstücksbuffet ist mit einer Note "gut" zu bewerten.
Es gibt viel Auswahl.
Der Frühstückssaal an der Schiffanlegestelle am Rhein war gegeben durch die Aussicht (mit unter auf das Schokoladenmuseum) phänomenal!
Das Zimmer war alles in allem von der Sauberkeit, Bequemlichkeit und Ausstattung mit einer "gut" zu bewerten.

Cons:

Der Föhn auf dem Zimmer war leider ein wenig versteckt, weshalb man ihn nicht auf Anhieb finden konnte.
Kleinere Unreinheiten auf der Bettdecke, welche aber gesundheitlich nicht schädigend oder bedenklich waren; jedoch für ein Zimmer in einem eher höherwertigem Hotel ein Punkt zum Anmeckern.

Für den Zustand des Hotels war es zu teuer. Lage top.
Pros:

Die Lage ist gut, man ist fußläufig innerhalb kurzer Zeit in der Innenstadt. Das Frühstück ist schlicht, aber hochwertig.

Cons:

Das artotel ist inzwischen in die Jahre gekommen. Der Zahn der Zeit ist überall zu sehen. Die Zimmer könnten mal einen neuen Anstrich gebrauchen, Der Flur ist renovierungsbedürftig und riecht unangenehm. Die Bettwäsche hatte Löcher. Die Bäder sind technisch einwandfrei, aber ebenfalls in die Jahre gekommen. Die Zimmerausstattung war vor 15 Jahren modern.

Pros:

Die gute Lage zur Stadt

Cons:

Das unser Zimmer so nah an der Brücke war wo alle 2min eine Straßenbahn fuhr und es extrem Laut war trotz geschlossenen Fenster.
Die Lüftung war auch super laut und es roch nach Abflussrohr, also wirklich nicht angenehm.
Bin froh das es nur eine Nacht war.
