Spacious, quiet, and relaxing!
Pros:

The room was very spacious. The location was wonderful. We loved being able to walk to our destinations. The local community was beautiful and the theatres were close by. It was quiet and very relaxing. We were able to store our luggage on the day we checked out until our departure.

Nice and romantic place with excellent location for a short stay
Pros:

Excellent location! It had everything we needed for a short stay. We were given a spacious room with a cozy fireplace and large, comfortable beds.

Cons:

The breakfast was very basic and lacked variety. It consisted primarily of pre-packaged items like cereals, store-bought croissants, boxed juices etc.

Un recibimiento nefasto
Pros:

Cómodas las habitaciones

Llegamos tarde porque veníamos de hacer un tour y la persona que nos recibió no se comportó bien con nosotros. Nos trató mal. Luego la habitación muy bien

Immer wieder gerne
Pros:

Es hatte was in einem alten, so weit es ging original belassenem Haus vom Adel 🤭 zu nächtigen, und überallhin zu Fuß gehen zu können

Cons:

Die Sache mit dem Frühstück (alles einzeln abgepackte, am Vorabend bestellte und vor die Zimmertür gestellte Sachen) war etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber ganz nett

Hotel correcto
Pros:

La habitación era muy amplia con espacio de sobra. Está bien ubicado, cerca del centro de la ciudad nueva por lo que puedes ir caminando. Es un edificio victoriano, tienes un salón de uso común y una sala donde puedes desayunar y hay siempre disponible café y hay una nevera con leche y yogures.

Cons:

El personal muy tosco. El desayuno y su planteamiento es lo peor, todo producto industrial y escaso. Lo mejor es que dispone de un espacio donde puedes llevar tus propios productos y desayunar. Es caro para el servicio que ofrece , ya que no arreglan la habitación en el tiempo que estés. No dispone de ascensor aunque debe ser algo habitual en la ciudad.

Funktionell
Pros:

Sauber und funktionell, gemütlich eingerichtet, hilfsbereites Personal.

Cons:

Der Frühstücksmodus - man kreuzt auf einem Formular an, was man konsumieren möchte, um alles morgens vor der Zimmertür vorzufinden - ist doch etwas unpersönlich. Würden nächstes Mal eine andere Unterkunft suchen. Das war uns aber im Vorhinein bekannt.

Charmant/schoon hotel met zeer vriendelijk personeel
Pros:

Locatie was top. Kamer was comfortabel en schoon. Genoeg koffie/thee e.d. aanwezig.

Cons:

Ontbijt viel tegen. Avond tevoren moet je en lijst invullen en maximaal 10 items kiezen. Veel combinaties met crackers en boter. Geen gekookte eitjes o.i.d. erbij. 2e Ochtend om de hoek ontbeten.

Depressing
Pros:

Value at fringe time

Cons:

Unclean room, stung by wasp on floor, two other dead wasps seen. Don’t expect to be in danger in a hotel room irrespective of cost.
