Wir waren zufrieden
Pros:

Unterkunft war sehr einladend und zentral gelegen. Personal war sehr freundlich. Unserer Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Das Frühstück war lecker.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer im dritten Stock zur Straße hin. Das war etwas laut, lange luften war nicht möglich. Das eine Bett im Zweibettzimmer war fast unter der Klimaanlage, so dass es nachts fast zu kühl wurde. Habe versucht die Klimaanlage umzustellen, spürte aber kein unterschied.
Wünschenswert wäre, dass das frühstücken bis 10:30 Uhr möglich wäre.

Pros:

Близко к интересным местам. Все станции метро и автобусные остановки в пешей доступности

Cons:

Очень тесно, зачем предлагать 4 местное размещение в трехместном номере?! Очень грязно, плохо убираются и редко убираются.
