Sehr gut gelegenes Hotel für einen Stadturlaub
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut und das Zentrum in 5 bis 10 Minuten zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Das Frühstück bietet eine große Auswahl. Unser Zimmer war sehr geräumig.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer funktionierte das Licht im Bad nur, wenn man im Zimmer ebenfalls Licht einschaltete, was nachts eher unangenehm war.

Las habitaciones son muy dispares, te puede tocar una buena o una minúscula.
Cons:

El lavabo tiene un tamaño ridículo, minúsculo.

Hotel correcto. Cómodo y limpio
Pros:

Bien situado. Muy limpio. Buen desayuno.

Cons:

2 habitaciones superiores reformadas y bonitas en la primera planta. Limpias y cómodas. Lo malo que una de ellas daba directamente con una puerta a la calle, lo cual no me parece seguro. La otra daba mediante una ventana a los contenedores de basuras.
Una suite que estaba muy bien y cómoda, lo único más antigua.

Excellent location, price, comfort
Pros:

Excellent location with a 3 minute walk to the bus stop. Spacious comfortable room for 2 people. Full bed was perfect for my petite self and my larger husband. Excellent breakfast. Reasonably priced. Would stay again.

Cons:

We are from the US and couldn’t get the shower to work no matter what we Googled. There are Zero instructions in the room. I had to take a bird bath. We told the desk clerk so that other people wouldn’t have the problem and she was very aggressive and accusatory towards us. When informed, she barked “That’s not possible! Did you do this? Did you do that?” German accent. RUDE!
