Otelin konumu çok iyi, Çalışanlar ilgili, oda güzel. Tavsiye ederim. Ancak banyo ve tuvalet şeffaf camdan yani içerisi olduğu gibi görünüyor. Mahremiyet yok

Cons:

Banyo ve tuvalet şeffaf camdan . Görünüyor içerisi. Dolayısıyla ikinci kişi olduğu gibi sizi görmüş oluyor. Mahremiyet yok

Gerne wieder. Sehr persönlich, sehr individuell.
Pros:

Die Gestaltung der Zimmer ist sehr geschmackvoll und individuell. Wir hatten ein sehr sonniges und ein sehr ruhiges Zimmer mitten im belebten Viertel

Cons:

Für gehbehinderte Menschen ist das Haus nicht geeignet. Schmale Treppen und kein Aufzug. Das haben die sehr freundlichen Gastgeber ausgegleichen. wir mussten darum kämpfen unsere Taschen selbst aufs Zimmer tragen zu dürfen ;-)

Zentraler Schlafplatz mit außergewöhnlichen Zimmern.
Pros:

Stilvolles Ambiente. Nettes Personal. Man hört die anderen Zimmer nicht. In der Woche eine ruhige Unterkunft.

Cons:

Nichts.
Verbessern könnte man eventuell den Schallschutz zum Treppenhaus. Aus Bautechnischen Gründen gibt es viele Treppen.
Am Wochenende ist der Lärmpegel von der Straße (Partymeile) sehr laut. Aber da kann das Hotel ja nichts dafür.
