Tolles Hotel direkt mittendrin
Pros:

Ganz tolle Lage, direkt mittendrin. Vieles fußläufig erreichbar und mehrere Metro-Stationen in der Nähe. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und es war sehr ruhig. Sehr nettes Personal.

Cons:

Das Fenster im Zimmer war eher klein und abgedunkelt, sodass wenig Tageslicht ins Zimmer gekommen ist. Wir haben am Abreisetag das Frühstück hinzugebucht - das ist leider nicht zu empfehlen.
