Pros:

Super freundliches Personal. Check-In und Check-Out super easy. Lage in angenehmer Näge zur Innenstadt. Restos,etc. fußläufig erreichbar. Das Zimmer war sehr zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Für einen Nacht auf der Durchreise definitiv ausreichend!

Très déçus
Pros:

L'hotel est dans un beau batiment proche du centre ville mais nous avons été tres déçus par la chambre confort qui était tres grande mais lugubre du fait de son absence de decoration et sa sallle de bain dans une structure toute en plastique

Godt placeret i forhold til gammel bydel.
Pros:

Hotellet ligger 10 min gang fra gamle centrum i byen. Lidt kringlet at komme ned i hotellets parkering, men god plads når man er nede.
Det er en meget futuristisk bygning, hvorfor værelserne (eller i hvert fald det vi havde), har nogle sjove formater. Men stort værelse meget gulvplads, så der kunne sagtens have været et lille arrangement med bord/stole.
Vi brugte ikke andre faciliteter, men der er bar og restaurant også.

Pros:

O hotel é muito bom, a única ressalva é o café da manhã. A reposição dos alimentos demorava muito a ser feita. As poucas frutas que havia, estavam bem ruins (velhas).

Pros:

Nous avons bénéficié d'une chambre spacieuse avec un calme absolu. Par contre le confort est minimaliste : pas de bouilloire, ni de thé ou tisane ou café, pas de bouteille d'eau, une seule poubelle à la salle d'eau, pas de volets, une moquette datée, 2 uniques serviettes En résumé un bon standing dans l'ensemble mais l'attention n'est pas sur le client mais sur la rentabilité...C'est dommage.

Very nice hotel, Ibis style and a good restautrant as well. Conveniently close to the city center and with the tram just outside, you can park for free (top of the street outside street parking area - not the hotels resposabilitry), and not be worried.

Pros:

Car park was very poorly signed especially as the road network is difficult. Receptionist was not that friendly or helpful. The restaurant food was good and the waiters efficient.
