Staff were friendly, food was good

Ausbaufähig
Pros:

Das Essen, die freundlichen Mitarbeiter, die Betten waren genauso gut wie die sehr gut ausgestattete Kaffeebar.

Cons:

Schimmel an der Decke über der Dusche,
Ein Handtuch 70 x 100 cm statt zwei separater und notfalls kleinerer Handtücher.
Fön - wir haben unseren genutzt.
Zahnputzbecher oder Gläser gab es nicht.
Zimmer war am ersten Tag durch eine andere Tür (unter uns am Eingang/Küche?) so laut und ließ die Wand/das Bett beben.
Keine kleinste Wiedergutmachung für sogar nach Hinweis am Morgen am Nachmittag immer noch kalte Dusche oder auch nur eine Warnung.
Und ein PC Bildschirm als Fernseher bei der Zimmergröße kann nur als Aufforderung verstanden werden während der WM an der Bar sich zu versammeln - und die machte so schon einen gut besuchten Eindruck.
Da ist Luft nach oben

A friendly local pub restaurant with great food and service but accommodation needs updated and soundproofed
Pros:

It was a lovely location. I was up for work at nearby Cluny castle

Cons:

The room was a bit dated and very noisy. The heavy fire doors banged shut a lot. The room was above the pub so not quiet till after midnight and the room above you could hear every footstep No hairdryer in room as advertised
