Quaint. Too quaint (uncomfortable) for me.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Old building that needs a lot of updating. Inadequate (circa 1912) elevator, small bathrooms, cooling inadequate, storage inadequate, bed was like a canoe.

Pros:

The decor, common areas, value, helpfulness of staff.

Cons:

I wish the roof deck and the bar area was open past 9:00 PM. There was no coffee or version of creamer in the room, only tea. The room had items for sale, but no way to open them, ie bottle opener in the room. That elevator! These were small issues, as overall I was happy here.

Pros:

I loved the style of the hotel. He antique look.

Cons:

Unfortunately as cool the old elevator is.. it’s pretty unpractical having to wait in line to get in. I basically walked down from 10 floor to skip the line. At least repair the second one.

Pros:

Die Zimmer sind super klein, dafür aber sehr süß und liebevoll eingerichtet, sowie das gesamte Hotel. Es hat einen französischen Charme.

Cons:

Die Fenster sind leider sehr dünn, sodass jegliche Geräusche von draußen gehört werden. Nur mit Oropax machbar, diese liegen aber bereits im Zimmer parat.
