Pros:

Da ich mit meiner Freundin im Hotel zwei Einzelzimmer gebucht hatte, merkte ich den grossen Unterschied der beiden Zimmer. Gross und Klein. Grosses Bett und ein ganz schmales Bett.
( Zum gleichen Preiss, finde ich nicht ok)
Auch nicht so toll, dass das Gepäck nicht abgestellt werden kann( Ankunft und Abreisetage, darum ist es mit Kosten der Schliessfächer am Bahnhof verbunden)

Cons:

Siehe oben! Lage ist sehr gut, am Bahnhof gelegen!

Keine gute Erfahrung - Personal war aber sehr nett.
Pros:

Personal am Telefon waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Ich habe extra am Banhof das Hotel gebucht , da ich einen frühen Flug hatte. 40 min vor dem chekin kam ein E-mail das wegen Wasserschaden haben Sie mich die andere Seite des Stadtes umgebucht.
Das Zimmer hat überhaupt nicht so ausgesehen wie in die Photos.
Dann nächste Tag kam ein automatischer E-Mail, da ich nicht in die original gebuchten Hotel eingecheckt haben können Kosten anfallen. Fand ich sehr unprofessionell.
