Für das was es geboten hat viel zu teuer
Pros:

Es war sauber und der Großteil des Personals war sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Zimmer hatte weder Kühlschrank noch Klimaanlage, es war unerträglich heiss in der Nacht und keine Möglichkeit Medikamente zu lagern. Beim Frühstück musste man sich Rührei oder Spiegelei selbst machen, was ja grundsätzlich kein Problem wäre, wenn die Pfannen nicht eine Miniaturgröße gehabt hätten. Des weiteren waren Sie gusseisern, somit Verbrennungen an den Händen. Die junge Italienerin beim Frühstück war sehr unfreundlich.

Pros:

Nice feel about the hotel. Rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Breakfast was fine and breakfast staff polure and friendly.

Cons:

Bathroom: If you put on the bathroom light the whole schlafzimmer is lit up very brightly. Not so good when you go yo the bathroom in the middle of the night. Also, when the floor was wet it was very slippery (in the shower and when you step out). An extra hook for haning up a handtowel would be good.
Bedroom: No minibar, so we couldn't keep anything cool.

Great city hotel in a great location
Pros:

Great location - historic old town easily accessible (walkable) and a great base for visiting friends in the suburbs too.
Loved our room - compact but functional and (always a bonus) windows opened for fresh air!

Cons:

Everything was as we expected
