Great for a short stay!
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and had a nice mix of being arty in decor whilst maintaining the history and feeling modern. Staff were efficient, beds were comfy and the breakfast had a great selection.

Cons:

The restaurant and bar was quite a let down. In the evening, it heavily smells of cigarettes with people smoking a lot in the outdoor space. It was so heavy with smoke inside that we both went away with our clothes really smelling. We also tried the cocktails which were really quite obviously watered down. My sister ordered the same one which tasted completely different the second time we ordered it. And we then go charged a large service charge.

Camere confortevoli, personale gentile
Pros:

Personale gentile, posizione centrale, ottima pulizia e camere confortevoli.

Cons:

La colazione ha margine di miglioramento. Non ho apprezzato la limitata offerta di frutta, piatti e cucchiai in plastica, il buffet caldo serviva le pietenza fredde (uova, panceta, salsiccia), acqua di rubinetto e nessuna indicazione su cosa era presente nel tavolo, in nessuna lingua, assenza totale.
L'hotel ha un considerevole numeri di stanze, la sala colazione è decisamente sotto dimensionato in caso ci sia anche 1/4 degli ospiti contemporaneamente a fare colazione.

Love the little champagne welcome, the room upgrade and the staff friendliness.
Pros:

Everything. Great staff and comfortable stay. Unique elevator as well, loved it! I paid for 2 pax, which the 2nd person cancelled, and they were kind enough to upgrade my room. It was a hugeee room and really worth the value. They cleaned and tidied up my room very well and the view was quiet and amazing. Location is a less than 5 mins walk to the metro, but there are a lot of convenience stores and restaurants around.

Cons:

Not sure if it's a European strictness thing, I was late for breakfast by 10 mins. Looked around and there was still food. I smiled at the waiter asking if it's possible to just take a little bit maybe a coffee and such. The chef/manager starts to loudly say breakfast is only up to 10 AM! 10AM! I grabbed my coffee and a bun anyway.

schönes Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine gute Lage, nur ein paar Hundert Meter von der Flughafenbus - Haltestelle.
Zur Altstadt etwa 20 Mins zu Fuß, Athenäum gleich ums Eck. Supermarkt / Minimarkt in kurze Laufweite
Das Frühstück war gut, wenn es sich auch wiederholt hat.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer hintenraus und das was sehr ruhig. An der Straße ist es sicherlich lauter.
Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet und die Betten bequem.
Die Einrichtung und Ausstattung ist sehr schön, mit vielen Stilelementen der guten alten Zeit

Cons:

zur Stroßzeit war der Frühstücksraum eigentlich immer zu klein. Gläser und Tassen haben gefehlt, als auch Sitzplätze

Υπέροχη εμπειρία
Pros:

Το κατάλυμα ήταν φανταστικό. Υπέροχη διακόσμηση, πολύ ζεστό κλίμα. Ήταν στολισμένο για το Halloween. Το δωμάτιο πολύ μεγάλο, εξοπλισμένο με όλα τα απαραίτητα. Κάθε μέρα ανανέωναν τα νερά στο δωμάτιο, και κάθε μέρα γινόταν καθαριότητα. Το πρωινό καλό. Η τοποθεσία πολύ βολική, κοντά στην στάση λεωφορείου. Το προσωπικό εξυπηρετικό.

Cons:

Είχα μόνο καλές εντυπώσεις!
