Pros:

La ubicació per anar al palau de congressos és excel·lent. L'establiment està net.

Cons:

Habitació extremadament petita, no et podies ni rentar la cara a la pica, t0hi havies d'acostar de costat. Esmorzar molt deficient. Vaig demanar llet sense lactosa pel cafè i no en tenien (ni de civada ni cap alternativa). Un dels dies es van acabar els ous remenats i van trigar molt en posar-ne i eren ressecs i poc. Són només exemples.

Fasnacht
Pros:

Wir waren während der Fasnacht da -
Lage für uns gut. Zimmerpreis halt der Nachfrage entsprechend wie in allen Hotels wärend dieser Zeit. Sprich: teuer
Zimmer zum Hof gelegen, daher ruhiger.

Cons:

Die Matratze war durchgelegen, zu nahe am Rand liegend kann es Dich aus dem Bett kicken.
Hatten 3 Betten im Zimmer, dadurch alles eng gestellt, die eine Seite des Doppelbettes nur um Tischecke/Regal erreichbar, sehr wenig Platz.
Dusche dreieckig - schwierige Platzverhältnisse beim einseifen. Wassertemparatur beim Duschen sehr... wechselhaft
Kein "Bitte nicht stören" Türhänger vorhanden. Housekeeping ist x-mal reingeplatzt.

Enjoyable lovely staff good restaurant. Unavailable one night though. Not informed
Pros:

Easy access to city

Cons:

We’re little disappointed in paying for balcony to find it looked onto backwards and roof tops not worth paying for

Disappointing
Pros:

The front desk was helpful, bed was comfortable, and nice shower.

Cons:

The restaurant. The waitress who served was rude and service was very slow. Definately would not recommend dinner in the restaurant.

Nice stay :)
Pros:

Nice & friendly staff. Good location. Clean overall!

Cons:

​The stay was great overall, but several areas need improvement:
​Pillows: Way too soft and flat; they need to be firmer/more solid.
​Shower: The system leaks water onto the floor. (for some who is not careful)
​Toiletries: Products aren't labeled clearly (is it shampoo or body wash?).
​Missing items: No slippers provided
