Booking.com don't pass on requests
Pros:

Not the hotels fault for my low scores. Staff helped as best they could although could listen better as she didn't seem to believe me.

Cons:

I submitted a request on booking.com when I booked and this was not received by the hotel so was not fulfilled. I won't be using booking.com next time if I can help it.

Lovely staff but won’t be staying again.
Pros:

Friendly staff. Got a free upgrade.

Cons:

Walking to the room and in the room there was an awful smell that did not go away during our whole stay. It just kind of hit you in the face and wasn’t pleasant.

Small and hot
Pros:

The bed was comfy enough and the breakfast in the morning was nice

Cons:

The room was one of the smallest I've ever stayed in, 2 single beds a small table with tea/coffee with was beside the bed! Oh and two bed side tables squashed in-between the beds- Small.
The toilet cistern refilling every 10 mins from the tiny bathroom. And no air-conditioning, just a fan.

Pros:

Das Bad war frisch renoviert und sauber.
Es war ruhig.

Cons:

Das Bett ist weggerollt und konnte nicht festgestellt werden.
Ich hatte kein Nachtkästchen.
Es war EXTREM heiss im Zimmer und es gab nur einen kleinen Ventilator, der nichts gebracht hat.
Der Schreibtischstuhl war so voller Flecken, dass man sich nicht setzen wollte.

We were given a double room initially when we’d asked for a twin room but that was quickly rectified when we went back t

Pros:

friendly and helpful staff. We appreciate the receptionist letting us check in early. And the woman who helped me get back into the room on nights. The only thing I wish the room had was air conditioning because it was boiling all night. Other than that, it had everything you needed.

Cons:

No AC
