Very basic accommodation but price echoed this. Very clean and good shared bathroom facilities.

A bit noisy when other guests moving around late at night but not unexpected when staying an old hotel.

Clean, Charming ,Fun, great loation
Pros:

this place was clean and comfortable. It's crazy that people give a property bad reviews for the nose outside the Hotel. Yes it is right DT so if that bothers you dont stay there, but the lotion and the fun vibe of he Hotel is so worth it. Bring ear plugs. I am in the "older" group of travelers, but had so much fun there and very much enjoyed the location, charming Hotel and fabulous location!! would stay there again for sure,

Cons:

I had a very enjoyable stay have NO complaints, but yes bring ear plugs if the sound is an issue, but that has nothing to do with the HVH it was charming

I wouldn't stay again. Having no toilet in my room, was also a deciding factor.
Pros:

I liked the location.

Cons:

Bedside light was not working. No soap for handbasin. Very slow tap flow rate. No TV in room or guest lounge. As a women on my own I didn't feel safe sitting in the bar by myself for a drink, dinner or breakfast. It would be nice to have the option of a dining area set aside for guests. Getting a carpark took several tries as patrons were using it, not guests.

Die Unterkunft ist in Ordnung, aber nicht außergewöhnlich.
Pros:

Sie ist zentral gelegen, war sauber und für den Preis in Ordnung.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer, das nach hinten gelegen war und da hörten wir die Klimaanlage. Aber konnten trotzdem gut schlafen.
