Decent, but don't choose this hotel in the summer.
Pros:

Breakfast, Location, and Staff were great.

Cons:

This hotel was booked because they indicated that they had air conditioning. The did not.
They had "air circulation" in the room, BUT, when the thermostat was set to "cool" not only was there NO cool air, but there was NO forced air movement whatsover. The room temperature was in the mid-80's at 10PM. That's not acceptable.
I know that these old buildings don't have quality air conditioning but you can't advertise it and then not deliver it. And, at a minimum, they should have a few dozen portable A/C units available to be delivered upon demand.

The room booked was a suite as well, so....not a cheap stay.

Pros:

La ubicación muy bien.
El desayuno espléndido.
Las instalaciones limpias y ordenadas.
El servicio gratuito de agua embotellada.

Cons:

Imposibilidad de apagar aire acondicionado, está centralizado y no se puede quitar; simplemente se puede disminuir y no es práctico.
La habitación no tenía buenas vistas al mirar a un espacio interior. Por el coste de la habitación, nos merecíamos vista exterior.

Zentrale Lage, freundliches Personal, sehr guter Service
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal und sehr guter Service. Early check-in möglich, wenn Zimmer frei sind. Gutes Frühstück. Die Zimmer sind gut. Sehr ruhig.
Die Lage ist perfekt, um viele Museen, Restaurants und die Fähren zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Cons:

Leider derzeit Frühstück im großen Saal. Sehr unruhig und laut. Normalerweise im Erdgeschoss, wo es deutlich gemütlicher ist. Frühstück als solches ist gut.
Die Betten sind weich. Muss man mögen.
Badezimmer sind unterschiedlich groß, unser war sehr klein.
