Nettes Haus, nettes Personal, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, eher für kurze Aufenthalte
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, super Lage in Zentrumsnähe, sauber, praktikabel.
Man darf hier das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis nicht ausser Acht lassen! Der Preis ist wirklich gut, da darf man kein Luxushotel erwarten!
Alle, die sich über die "Glaswand-Duschen" im Zimmer beschweren: 1.) man kann sich IMMER Bilder vom Zimmer bei/vor einer Buchung ansehen - da sieht man ja, was man bekommt. 2.) Man kann einen Vorhang außen vorziehen, also niemand "muss" jemandem beim Duschen zusehen.
Toilette Dusche: praktikabilität ist "grenzwertig" aber dazu im Punkt "Was hat ihnen nicht gefallen"
Auf jeden Fall: super Preis für ein Hotel so nahe beim Zentrum, für unseren Fall: Wir hatten das Zimmer für 1 Nacht wegen des Balles auf dem wir in den Sofiensälen waren, dafür war alles perfekt und das Frühstück war auch sehr gut!

Cons:

Die Konstillation: WC / Dusche ist wahrlich nicht ideal. Wie schon erwähnt: wenn man im Zimmer ist "muss" man dem Zimmerpartner nicht beim Duschen zusehen, es gibt einen Vorhang. Allerdings - wenn man Privatsphäre beim Duschen oder sowieso beim WC Gang möchte, muss man jeweils warten, bis der andere fertig ist, da Dusche und WC nur durch eine Glaswand getrennt sind. Auch ist es sehr unpraktisch, dass man, wenn man aus der Dusche kommt, die Duschtüre natürlcih nach außen aufmacht, da kann man kein Fußhandtuch davor legen, da man es mit der Türe ja weg schiebt. Das WC, WC Boden wird unwillkürlich nass...
Ich kann den Gedanken der sparsamem Zimmeraufteilung nachvollziehen und wie schon gesagt: jeder der bucht sollte sehen, wie das Zimmer ist, es gibt ja Bilder! Für längere Aufenthalte, halte ich das Haus für nicht so geeignet - auch, weil es keinen Kühlschrank gibt.

Pros:

The location was quite central, 10 minutes from the Mitte station and You could walk to the Stephensdom in about 25 minutes. Breakfast was very good in terms of quality.

Cons:

Room was smallish and felt crammed. The bathroom was a glass cabin. I was alone so no problem but if you travel in two does not give you any privacy.
