Pros:

Sehr gute zentrale Lage. Ein Hotel mit absolut westlichem Standard. Zimmer schön groß und gemütlich, zudem eine eigene große Terrasse. Die Zimmer sind leise. Nett ist auch ein Begrüßungstrunk, den man beim Einchecken bekommt.

Pros:

Receptionist was very kind and informative. She greeted me with a welcome drink and booked a dinner for me in a nearby restaurant. The room has modern equipment and a very comfortable bed. I loved the balcony with a street view. They prepared for me a breakfast to go as I needed to check out early to catch a ferry.

Cons:

The soud isolation is poor. There were plain locked doors shared between two rooms and one can hear everything from the opposite room.

Je recommanderais cette adresse les yeux fermés.
Pros:

Tout, le personnel était aux petits soins, l’hôtel sentait bon était rutilant, nous avons demandé en last minute si nous pouvions profiter du jacuzzi à notre arrivée (bien que tardive) et tout était prêt à notre arrivée.
On ne peut faire plus central comme positionnement et pourtant quand on est à l’intérieur de l’établissement on à pas du tout ce sentiment de proximité immédiate avec la vie locale. Le petit déjeuner est très suffisant, varié.

Cons:

Honnêtement rien.
