Für ein Wochenende genau richtig
Pros:

Die Lage war gut und das Personal sehr nett

Cons:

Das Bad war ziemlich klein und das Zimmer sehr hellhörig. Zudem konnte man von der Straße in unser Zimmer gucken, weshalb man immer die Vorhänge schließen musste

Pros:

The hotel is conveniently located not far from the main square and Saint Peter’s church in the city centre. Also, the neighbourhood is indeed nice with a small church right next to it and some cafes and pubs. The breakfast was good, there was a relatively
wide selection of pastry and other stuff (that muffin-cupcake was marvellous). I must appreciate the front desk and staff, they were really nice and helpful. My room was located at the first floor with a with to a street, well equipped including a hair dryer which came handy.

Cons:

I did miss fruits and especially vegetables during breakfast. I unfortunately need to mention that my view from the room wasn’t a nice one as there was a big dumpster right below my window so I could see a lot of trash (luckily it was during a winter time so no bad smell). I guess that the dumpster was there because a house right across the street was being renovated, but still… they could have moved the dumpster somewhere else.
