Why stay at a “regular” hotel when you can feel the ghosts of legends.
Pros:

Unique and curious

Cons:

OK you might hear faint improves. Let it lull you to sleep.

Great location, comfy room
Pros:

The room was great and in amazing location - It is very close from the stations. We had great room with private bathroom, and it was very comfortable. The place was also clean and the staff was nice. Many had issue with the sound from the bar, but it wasn't really an issue - it was actually nice to fall asleep to :) and they were usually finishing around 11pm, which was also our sleep schedule

Cons:

I think very minor inconvenience we had was lack of the kettle to make tea/coffee in the room - although for the breakfast they offer free cup, however we wouldn't dare to ask in the evening to not interrupt the jazz shows :)

Pros:

The location is wonderful - right in the middle of downtown. You also get free admission to their nightly performances, which are a phenomenal experience. There is also cheap parking nearby.

Cons:

I wasn’t aware of the fact that the bathrooms were communal rather than attached to the room, and had to go out to buy a pair of flip flops to shower in. Also, the beds aren’t the comfiest you’ve ever slept in.

Pros:

Very convenient location, good complimentary coffee and toast, nice live music in the bar. hotel room is small as expected but it works for a solo traveller. The bathroom is renovated and clean.

Cons:

Old building with minimum renovation, window is broken so can be noisy. Even the double bed is small, only good for a single man.
