Simple et efficace.
Pros:

L’accès au tram à proximité, ainsi que le parking disponible une nuit.

Cons:

La salle de bain qui nous a quelque peu privé d’intimité (salle de bain pour personne à mobilité réduite).

Pros:

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Room was spacious, bright, comfortable and clean. Parking in the garage (15euro per night), dog friendly (10euro per night). Close to city center and supermarket.

Cons:

No air-conditioning in the room. It was very hot, as outside temperature was at peak also.

Ubicación tranquila, personal amigable, hotel limpio y con mucha luz. Recomendable.
Pros:

El desayuno es correcto, la ubicación tranquila y el personal muy amable.

Cons:

La altura del inodoro es excesiva. Si hubiera venido con niños o con mi sra hubieran estado incómodos. Yo tengo un problema de ciática y apoyar el peso del cuerpo sobre el posterior de la pierna izquierda genera dolor.

Lugar ameno y lleno de tranquilidad para descansar
Pros:

En mi habitación estuvo bien ubicada amplia limpia con buenos ventanales, la cama, súper cómoda, reconfortante, tanto las sábanas como las almohadas, no hizo calor y me sentí como en casa.

Cons:

De verdad que no tengo queja alguna del hotel, a pesar de estar algo retirado del centro, en todo el frente tiene un tranvía y una estación de bus que te conecta directamente con los sitios de interés de lugar, por lo tanto sería una buena opción retornar. Lo único malo fuero muy poquitos días

Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt, man kann zu Fuß oder mit der Tram zur Innenstadt gelangen.
Das Zimmer ( Delux) war groß und modern eingerichtet.
Das Personal an Reception und Bar war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Auto kann man im Hoteleigenen Parkhaus sicher parken.

Cons:

Die Dusche mit WC ist nur durch eine Glasschiebetür vom Zimmer getrennt. Da fehlt mir doch die Privatsphäre. Wer sich wohl so etwas blödes ausgedacht hat.
Die Dame im Frühstücksraum war nicht gerade freundlich und kooperativ. Es war für mich nicht einsichtig warum man nicht an der Fensterseite mit Blick in den schönen Innenhof frühstücken sollte.
Statt dessen hat man die Tische im hinteren dunkleren Teil gedeckt.
