Alles super, kommen gerne wieder
Pros:

Schön modernes interior, passend zum Namen und Stil. Gemütliche Betten

Cons:

Störende Bodenleisten -> Stolperfalle vor allem Nachts und für ältere Menschen. 25€ pro Person / Tag (auch Kinder) für das Frühstück sind es nicht wert. Kaum vegane Auswahl, nichts besonderes.

Pros:

Sehr gute Lage, mitten in der Altstadt. Alles einfach zu Fuss erreichbar.
Daher aber auch Lärm durch Passanten in den engen Gassen gut hörbar.

Cons:

Ein heizbarere Wasserkrug wär ein ganz grosses Plus
Kaffee und Tee im Zimmer das wäre doch Komfort.
