Inchecken was een soap.
Pros:

De kamer was goed en schoon. Het bed was fijn en de badkamer was top. Het ontbijt was uitstekend.

Cons:

De communicatie en interne organisatie waren niet goed. Om binnen te komen moest ik hemel en aarde bewegen. Ze hadden geen code gestuurd voor zelf inchecken en niemand was aanwezig. De telefoon werd niet opgenomen. Uiteindelijk heb ik booking.com gebeld terwijl ik lang stond te kloppen op het raam. Eindelijk kwam er iemand kijken en werd ik binnen gelaten. Vervolgens bleek ook nog een het pasje van mijn kamerdeur het niet te doen. Dat werd verholpen, maar alles bij elkaar voelde het alsof ik in een slechte film zat.

Für einen Städtetrip sehr gut geeignet, wenn man auf Komfort nicht so großen Wert legt.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr zentral gelegen, das Stadtzentrum ist sowohl zu Fuß als auch mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln gut zu erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und das Hotel ist sehr gepflegt und der Zimmerservice sehr gut. Das Einzelzimmer war sehr klein, aber zweckmäßig. Das Bad war allerdings nur etwas für kleine Menschen;).

Cons:

Ich habe nichts zu kritisieren.
