Kurztrip am Wochenende mit Hund
Pros:

Besonders gefallen haben uns das Parkhaus, die langen Frühstückszeiten am Wochenende (Sonntag bis 11.30 Uhr) und der CheckOut bis 12.

Das Frühstück war super: große Auswahl, alles frisch und nachhaltig.

Die Pflegeprodukte in den Duschen und Toiletten sind von Rituals.

Die Lage ist hinsichtlich der Anbindung sehr gut, eine U-Bahn-Station ist quasi direkt vor der Tür.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer zur Straße, bei geöffnetem Fenster war der Verkehrslärm doch beträchtlich.

Für den über Booking angemeldeten Hund war trotz zusätzlicher telefonischer Nachfrage bei Anreise nichts vorbereitet.

Siisti hotelli, ystävällinen henkilökunta ja sijainti hyvä!
Pros:

Aivan hotellin vieressä on käynti U-Bahniin, joten liikkuminen julkisilla on superhelppoa ja nopeaa. Hotelli tuntui uudelta ja oli hyvin siisti. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja auttavaista. Aamupala oli myös suht runsas ja vaihteli osittain hieman päivittäin. Meillä oli huone kadulle päin, mutta ikkunan ollessa kiinni, ei liikenne häirinnyt ollenkaan. Näkymät olivat myös ihan kivat viidennestä kerroksesta yli matalan rakennuksen.

A good location and safe.
Pros:

The people at the hotel were very nice and helpful. We had an early check-in.
We asked for a cardboard box to send a parcel and the person at the reception got one for us which was of the perfect size.
Thank you!


The location is great - it's next to a train station which has the U1 and U3 running through. Just walk ahead about 700 metre on the other side and you can have a nice walk or picnic or a meal by the lake and watch boats sailing by.

Cons:

Hmmm- the breakfast - could have had more choices in terms of cold cuts, eggs etc.

We were on the first floor and one morning woke up to the cleaning crew cleaning up the glass roof. Thye were doing their job but itnwas not even 6 am.
