Komfortables Hotel in ruhiger Lage, würde wieder kommen
Pros:

Super Lage, Zimmergrösse für eine Person absolut ausreichend. Gute Ausstattung (Fön, Bügelbrett, Kaffeemaschine). Sehr bequemes und großes Bett. Check in und out reibungslos. Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Cons:

Sehr hellhörig - direkt vor meinem Zimmer waren zwei Feuerschutztüren und ein Putzschrank, daher permanentes Türenknallen. Fenster ließ sich nicht öffnen und man konnte wegen einer Folie nicht rausschauen. Gepäckraum hat leider viel zu wenig Schließfächer

Bon rapport qualité-prix
Pros:

La literie était très confortable.

La localisation était également très bien. Les alentours n'étaient pas bruyants et tout était très propre.

Cons:

L'eau de la douche aurait pu être plus chaude. Tous les casiers à bagage étaient pleins (il n'y en a pas beaucoup), nous avons du laisser nos bagages dans une pièce ouverte.

Newish with Loads of potential but some issues to sort out
Pros:

Good location, room size is decent and well equipped.

Cons:

Loads of things didn’t work or were not available. There is no one to talk to after 5pm, you need to send a WhatsApp message meaning things don’t get sorted quickly. They did compensate me, which I appreciate. Hopefully they fix the things that were not working (no heating, no hot water in the shower, empty pantry etc.)

Lovely and cozy, clean room with soft carpet. There was good fresh air in the room.
Pros:

Armas ja hubane, puhas tuba pehme vaibaga. Toas oli hea värske õhk. Väga kaunis ümbrus jalutamiseks. Hea trantspordi ühendus.

Pros:

It was close to where I needed to be.

Cons:

The room was very compact. It was difficult getting around the foot of the bed with the television mounted on the wall. There was no fridge or hairdryer.

Camera assolutamente non compatibile con quella prenotata
Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

Non c’è stata assegnata la camera che avevamo visto nelle foto della prenotazione, era molto più piccola, con il letto contro il muro su tre lati e una piccola stufetta elettrica per scaldarla perché non funzionava il termosifone
