Pros:

Very apologetic and pleasant reception team.

Cons:

Hotel had overbooked room reservations so had arranged accommodation at another hotel 20 minutes taxi ride away ( which Soros provided). Very inconvenient at 11pm at night and the next morning.

I enjoyed the stay very much and said to the staff that I would happily come back for another stay.
Pros:

I chose this hotel because of its location and it was perfect, very close to where I needed to go. Breakfast was very good with plenty of varied choices. The room was basic and simply decorated, but that was all I needed and I liked it. The tea making facility was very useful.

Cons:

The floor of the room was mostly carpeted. Having lived in Finland for some years, that was a little off-putting. Also the rubbish bin in the room was quite small and had separate compartment for recycle waste. Good idea, but maybe a little difficult for a guest (especially from a foreign country) to understand how to separate the rubbish.

Pros:

Super Lage, super Frühstück, sehr freundlicher Service.

Cons:

Dass jeden Tag die Handtücher gewechselt wurden, obwohl wir sie nicht auf den Boden geworfen haben...nicht so nachhaltig.
Dadurch dass Frauen und Männer getrennt in die Saune nachmittags und abends gehen mussten, war es etwas schwierig mit dem Abendessen. Frauen hatten ein Zeitfenster von 16:30 - 18:30, Männer von 19:00 - 21Uhr.
