Perfekte zentrale Lage
Pros:

Das Frühstück war gut, mehr geht natürlich immer. Die Zimmer im ersten Obergeschoß waren angenehm kühl (eine Hitzewelle sorgte für 35 Grad C im Schatten).
Die zentrale Lage ist fantastisch. Obwohl in den Straßen ums Hotel bis spät in die Nacht voller Betrieb herrschte, haben die Fenster den Lärm sehr gut draussen gelassen.

Cons:

Viel zu wenig Personal, das die die Arbeit gerade einmal schafft. Alle sind aber sehr bemüht!
Die Rezeption ist selten besetzt aufgrund des Personalmangels.

Pros:

In unserem Zimmer war der Fernseher defekt, was wir erst am späten Abend festgestellt haben.
Man bot uns daraufhin ein anderes Zimmer an. Da es aber bereits sehr spät war und wir nicht wieder alles einpacken wollten, hat man uns zur Entschädigung ein kostenloses Frühstück angeboten. Dieses war auch sehr gut.

Wonderful ! like stepping back in time
Pros:

It was a great location. The day we checked in the man at the front desk ( I think his name was Temu P) he was so helpful and told us the history of the hotel.
