Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Lage ist super, mitten in der Innenstadt ! Wer es ruhig mag, ist dort falsch, denn direkt unter neben dem Hotel sind ein paar Bars. Bei geschlossenem Fenster ist es allerdings komplett ruhig im Zimmer.

Unser Zimmer war sehr groß und im Bad gab es sogar Dusche und Badewanne.

Die Einrichtung hatte ein bisschen was von einem englischen Landhaus, es war schon etwas älter, aber in einem sehr guten Zustand und auf jeden Fall gepflegt.

Die Lage ist für einen Städtetrip auf jeden Fall super !

Beautiful hotel with comfy beds and gorgeous bathrooms
Pros:

What a cute little hotel. The staff are friendly, there are all kinds of nice treats (hand written card, flavored waters, candies etc). The hotel itself is quite beautiful. The bathroom I had was gorgeous, the beds were comfortable, etc. Everything you want in a hotel was here.

Cons:

The only thing I encountered that others might not like was there are some stronger scents I think from the cleaning products used. If you are sensitive to that kind of thing it might be an issue, but for the vast majority of people I think this is a lovely place to stay.

Convenient, clean and friendly but expensive for the general standard of the hotel.
Pros:

Central location which was convenient for our trip. Good size room with comfortable beds and a good bathroom.

Cons:

A noisy location and unfortunately some of the guests did not respect other guests who were not there to party.
Parts of the hotel were very tired.
