Adecuado
Pros:

La ubicación, limpieza, comodidad.

Cons:

No tenían acceso con rampa para ir con carrito de bebé y había un pub justo debajo y se escuchaba el ruido de la gente que estaba bebiendo en el patio.

Pros:

Blid stab, rent og rydda hver dag, perfekt beliggenhet, kort til alt.

Cons:

Heisen virka ikke fra 3.etasje og ned, men gikk greit med trapp. Mye teppegulv hvis det er vanskelig for deg, gikk fint for medbragt allergiker denne gangen. Mangla mulighet til å oppbevare kald drikke på rommet.

Hôtel bien placé.
Pros:

L’hôtel est bien placé et bien équipé.

Cons:

La chambre donnait sur les toits et surtout sur l’arrière des bâtiments qui n’étaient pas très propres. On ne pouvait donc pas ouvrir les rideaux.
Nous avons été réveillés dans la nuit par une alarme qui n’a pas duré heureusement.
Pas beaucoup de choix pour le petit-déjeuner.
Parking pas sur place et payant même si l’hôtel en paye une partie (30% du montant)

Pros:

sehr freundliches und entgegenkommendes Personal, gute Lage, Innenstadt und dennoch ruhig, Sehenswürdigkeiten etc sehr gut zu Fuß erreichbar, Zimmer gut ausgestattet mit Tee/Kaffeebar
Die Neuigkeit des Wasserspenders auf dem Flur ist wunderbar

Cons:

Ich verzweifle nach wie vor an den Wasserhähnen, so dicht am Rand, keine Mischbatterei
