Pros:

Freundlichkeit aller Mitarbeitenden lässt auch im einfachen Haus das Herz des Gastes fröhlich sein.

Cons:

Im Bad nur ein offener Behälter für Kosmetikabfall. - Für uns als Seniorenpaar war das okay, - aber wohin soll eine jüngere Frau hier mit ihrem Menstruationsmüll?

Pros:

Booked it for a festival. The receptionist, Lia, was super nice and friendly. It's a simple hotel, but very suitable for a festival weekend. The location was great and offered parking and transport options.

Cons:

They could offer at least a fan in the rooms in this super hot summer.
The housekeepers should be trained to knock the door before entering, especially when the check-out time is far from due (10am). It was quite embarrassing being seen by one of them while getting dressed.

Deutlichea Verbesserungspotential
Pros:

Theoretisch gute Anbindung an die U-Bahn, durch SEV nicht ganz so gut.

Cons:

Habe schon freundlicheres Personal erlebt. Betten sehr durchgelegen. Das Frühstück für € 15 kann man sich getrost sparen, es ist das Geld nicht wert. Und einem Zweibettzimmer kann man auch mit zwei Sitzgelegenheiten ausstatten.
