Pros:

Horrible is an understatement for the service I have received here, there is no way this place is still up and running

Cons:

Don't get me started on the snarky comments of the staff, the clogged bathroom, and the attitude of the people, pretty unhelpful and nasty vibes

Pros:

The proximity to Central station is ideal if you have an early or late train. Everything was clean and it was not busy. It is secure.

Cons:

Outside the street is noisy at night, in particular after premises shut up for the night. There are a variety of reasons for it. But they are all outside the hotel's control. If you need quiet for sleeping, make a note to request a room that is not facing onto the street.

Nette Menschen, aber die Lage ist schwierig
Pros:

Die Menschen dort waren nett und sehr bemüht. Parkplatz direkt vor der Tür.

Cons:

Die Lage ist schwierig, direkt an einer stark befahrenen Straße, das Hotel ist nicht gut gedämmt, sehr stickig und feucht. Toilette hat leider auch nicht funktioniert. Etwas sauberer hätte es auch sein dürfen.

Pros:

Room was clean, warm and comfortable. Food good and not overpriced. Breakfast was lovely. Staff amazing especially Deborah. As a solo traveller she made me feel very welcome and nothing was to much trouble to her.

Cons:

Maybe a bit far out as I wasn't driving but wasn't really a problem as I was just wanting to relax and rest.

Die Lage ist gut aber das Hotel ist aufgrund der Sauberkeit nicht zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage ist gut. Das Küchenpersonal ist nett.

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sehr schmutzig und heruntergekommen. In einem Zimmer liessen sich die Rollladen nicht öffnen und als es das Personal auch nicht öffnen konnte, wurde es einfach so hingenommen. Unser Zimmer war dementsprechend die ganze Zeit dunkel. An den Wänden hatte es tropfenartige Flecken und auf dem Boden fanden wir eine aufklebbare Wimper, Kaugummi und Brandlöcher. In einem Bett hatte es Haare und Körner. Die Handtücher waren alt und alle verschieden. Das Hotel war extrem ringhörig, wegen der Bar und anderen Hotelgästen. Das Zimmer wurde während einem 4 Tage Aufenthalt nur einmal "gereinigt" und die Betten gemacht. Die Gläser im Bad hatten eine gelbe, klebrige Flüssigkeit darin. In der Gängen befanden sich unübliche Gegenstände, wie zum Beispiel alte Better und Matratzen oder ein einzelnes Bügeleisen.

Mediocre room and facilities
Pros:

Beds were comfortable. Shower was hot. Restaurant available. Parking was free and available.

Cons:

Shower trickled, only. Room was small. No mugs in the room, despite having a kettle. The breakfast was served later than expected. We were not able to even get coffee. The hallway and stairs had no lights leading up to the room. The staff was curt and not very helpful.
