Pros:

Es ist ein verrücktes Hotel. Man muss es mögen. Vorher genau die Bilder und die Ausstattung anschauen. Es ist dort sauber und die Lage ist erstklassig.

Cons:

Meine Frau war begeistert, ich nicht.

Alles in allem ein gelungener Aufenthalt (auch wegen der Hotelkatze!) wir würden wieder kommen.
Pros:

Tolle, individuell gestaltete Zimmer mit unnacharmlichem Charme. Muss man allerdings mögen. Das ganze Hotel ist einfach und die Ausstattung eher spärlich, aber wenn man eine Stadt erleben möchte, völlig ausreichend. Dusche und Toilette auf dem Flur, aber tippitoppi sauber.

Cons:

Wir durften uns sogar unser Zimmer aussuchen, hatten aber bei der Auswahl nicht darauf geachtet, dass man das Fenster nicht öffnen konnte. Es gab zwar eine Klimaanlage, die musste aber permanent gegen die brüllende Heizung (die man auch nur sehr bedingt regulieren konnte) anarbeiten, so dass wir in einem völlig überheizten Zimmer schlafen mussten. Außerdem ging das Fenster zu einem Lichtschacht raus, so dass es bei Tag genauso dunkel im Zimmer war, wie am Abend. Und dann nur sehr funzelige Zimmerbeleuchtung.

Pros:

Fun artistic rooms, check in/out staff were very kind, and there was even a cat! Loved how each floor had a theme and there were also cool decorations and knickknacks around that gave the place a unique and interesting vibe.

Cons:

Unless I was blind, I did not see any water fountains to fill my water bottle up on the other floors. Water was all the way on the first floor where check in/out was.

Pros:

Hôtel très original, style urbain très marqué, une ambiance....atypique et branchée. Il faut aimer la brocante et le loufoque, nous étions avec notre fille de 11 ans qui a adoré et nous aussi. En plus il est très bien situé et le prix abordable et le patron sympa

Pros:

Having a hotel full of different and unique artsy rooms is a cool idea, the staff was kind and the cat in the hall was the cutest thing ever!

Cons:

The hotel is very dirty, you can't even take a shower or a bath even if you have a private bathroom in your room 'cause there's rust in the tub. The little sink placed in the bedroom and not in the bathroom is not too comfortable and there was also hair in it, which is not exactly a warm welcome for a paying guest. The bathroom stinks and the windows can't be opened. There is no elevator, so it can be pretty challenging if you're older or if you have little kids. Careful with the plugs! Most of them are broken and won't work at all. In our room there was also a dirty chair with a big stain on it... not really professional. If the staff kept the place clean, it would be a very interesting and peculiar hotel. What a shame.
