Torenzecht Hotel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Access to my room on the third floor via very narrow staircase. I am over 80 and the staircases presented a bit of a challenge.

Stay away, my advice
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Don't book this hotel if you are not a teenager. Bar as reception, at the most awkward corner of the red light area. Guaranteed disturbance.
p.s. I didn't even stay a night there, it was impossible. The best of all, I had to pay €180 (minimum one night fee) for my 15 minutes experience.

Fin plass for overnatting, anbefales hvis du bare trenger en plass å sove. Sentralt og fin beliggenhet
Pros:

Veldig bra beliggenhet, kort vei til metroⓂ️ veldig lett å finne frem, anbefales hvis du vil bo sentralt.
Enkel frokost med brød og pålegg, hyggelig betjening.
Housekeeping daglig med nye håndklær.

Cons:

Ekstremt trange og bratte trapper, anbefales ikke hvis du er dårlig til bens eller har med barn.

Det var mugg i vinduene på rommet, og heller ikke spesielt rent. Ville ikke overnattet der om du er sensitiv, har astma osv.

Det var felles toalett og dusj, toalettene var så små at det er vanskelig å få plass hvis du er lengre enn 170cm og trenger å sitte nede.
Det var heller ikke mulig å henge fra seg rent skift i dusjen så vi måtte kle av oss på rommet å gå med bare håndkle ut til dusjen.

Bagasjeoppbevaringen var heller ikke optimal, måtte legge fra oss bagasjen ulåst i baren.

Overraskende lite lyd fra gaten utenfor på kveldstid, men de begynte tidlig med veiarbeid som bråkte en del.

Pros:

Läget fantastiskt och bra personal. Sköna sängar. Prisvärt
Bra med egen toalett. Lugnt och tyst. Rena handdukar varje dag. Okej frukost för priset, men gärna fil/yoghurt

Cons:

Ljuset på toan, det var nästan helt mörkt. Gärna ett duschdraperi mot dörren.
Eftersom vi fick takvåningen som var bra så blev det 5 våningar brant och smal trapp som var jobbig med resväskorna ca, 65 trappsteg.

Рекомендую, чудовий варіант на 1-2 ночі, ми з друзями лишилися задоволені.
Pros:

Співвідношення ціни-якості. Чудове місце розташування, чистий номер, смачний сніданок, вічливий дружелюбний персонал.

Cons:

Круті сходинки в будівлі (наш номер був на 3 поверсі) це трохи не зручно , але це не недолік готелю, а особливість архітектури😁

chambre au calme malgré l'animation nocturne très active toute la nuit dans le quartier rouge !!!
Pros:

emplacement central, chambre correcte avec salle de bain privée.

Cons:

les escaliers étroits et raides et l'échelle meunière pour arriver jusquà la chambre la plus haute sous les toits !!
C'est compliqué avec une valise !!
Le petit déjeuner est servi trop tard, il devrait commencer à 8h !! afin d'arriver aux musées à 9h.
