A nice hotel but at a luxury price.
Pros:

The breakfast was fresh, tasty and served in a cosy well appointed room. The hotel staff adjusted their routine to enable us to park more easily and happily moved one of our party to a ground floor room when requested. An easy walk into the city centre and on an attractive street. The building has character.

Cons:

It felt a little expensive for what it was. Some of our group found their beds uncomfortable and some of the decor needed attention. One room had a bad smell of drains in it.

A hotel in a charming district of old buildings, just 10 min walk from Sophia Gardens Coach Station
Pros:

The hotel is located in a charming district of old buildings. Located just 10 min walk from Sophia Gardens Coach Station.

Cons:

There are no vegetables at all for breakfast. There is no elevator in the hotel. There is no safe deposit box in the room. If you consider staying there during winter, be warned that the room has a single - glazed window.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war gross und sehr gut ausgestattet.
Das Frühstück lecker und reichlich. Der Parkplatz war i.O..

Cons:

Der Receptionist (Nachmittags-/Abenddienst) machte einen eher desinteressierten Eindruck.
Der Kaffee am ersten Morgen war eine Zumutung, am zweiten Morgen war er o.k..
Beim einen Bett fehlte die Steckdose und es hatte somit auch kein Licht.

Cons:

Při snídani po dotazu na kávu k dispozici pouze instantní káva. Po doručení káva, ať se na mě nikdo nezlobí, pouze obarvená voda, chuť kávy naprosto chyběla. Dále hotel nemá k dispozici parkovací místa. Parkovali jsme tedy u silnice hned před hotelem a při odjezdu jsem za stěračem našli oznámení o pokutě za špatné parkování, upřímně se to ve mě vařilo.
