Pros:

Tolles Haus mit viel Charme mitten in der Stadt. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett!
Trotz der zentralen Lage ist es in den Zimmern sehr ruhig. Das Bett ist sehr gemütlich und die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet und super sauber. Wir haben uns hier wirklich rundum wohl gefühlt.

Nice hotel in good location.
Pros:

Good location. Very comfortable bed.

Cons:

Electricity only came on when keycard was in slot, meaning fridge and aircon went off each time we left the room. This was a bit of a problem as we had medicine that needed to be kept cool. It also meant the room had warmed up by the time we returned.

Pros:

The location was brilliant, opposite the mall, and only a 5 minute walk to the centre.

Cons:

The room got quite hot at night, due to the position of the air conditioner, but otherwise all good.

Pros:

Lokācija ir super laba, nākot iekšā vestibilā ir ļoti tīri logi un durvis, recepcijas katrs zelta burts spīd- sajūta ir lieliska ienākot.. Gultas veļa balta, viss tīrs. Reti kurā dušā ir stikls- bet šeit var pat durvis aizbīdīt-tas bija lieliski. Skaisti aprīkots un iekārtots. Gulta lieliska- es pat aizgulējos. Pretī ir lielveikals, pārtikas veikals starbucks, 7eleven, pa labi izejot no viesnīcas ir secrete bar- personāls ļoti draudzīgs.
Tā ir vēsturiska ēka- negaidiet skaņas izolāciju. Esmu dzīvojis ļoti daudz viesnīcās, dzīvokļos un mājās- nu nekad nav perfekta skaņas izolācija un beidziet to pieminēt savās atsauksmēs. Perfekta vieta.

Cons:

Lūdzu sāciet domāt par istabu sienu pārkrāsošanu- negaidiet kad sāks likt sliktas atsauksmes- jūs esat ļoti laba viesnīca- saglabājiet to perfektu👌
