Pros:

Nice and fancy hotel - room was clean and neat.
The interior perfectly matches the steampunk charm that can be found throughout the town and is designed with a great deal of attention to detail.
The breakfast was very good. It is mainly vegetarian-focused, but there was plenty of fresh fruit and basically everything you could wish for. A great selection and a very pleasant start to the day.

Cons:

The hotel is located on a main road, so there can be some traffic noise, especially at night. I am now quite familiar with the local car-tuning scene and could almost recognise some of the cars by the sound of their exhausts – or by their taste in music, which was not exactly close to mine. Fortunately, the hotel provides earplugs for guests, which was a thoughtful touch.
