Pros:

Personal und Service war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war für 2 Personen absolut ausreichend. Modernes und schönes Bad. Alles war sehr sauber. Betten sehr gemütlich. Die Lage des Hotels war sehr gut, man geht entspannte 15 - 20 Minuten zu Fuß ins Zentrum und kann gemütlich durch den großen Park spazieren. Cafes mit guten Kaffee direkt vor der Tür. Auch mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln wie zum Beispiel dem Bus vom Flughafen sehr gut zu erreichen.

Cons:

Wir waren im Sommer da und es war extrem heiß im Zimmer, wir hatten nur einen kleinen Ventilator und keine Klima, dazu kommt das sich die Fenster ( Wahrscheinlich aus Sicherheitsgründen ) nicht ganz öffnen lassen, Dadurch entstand eine sehr stickige Luft im Zimmer, es war extrem warm aber trotzdem einigermaßen aus zu halten. Der Preis war recht hoch für die kurze Zeit.

Nice, clean and easy. Lovely staff
Pros:

Nice and clean room. Lovely staff. I stayed only one night but it was a very good experience

Cons:

There was no lift, which is ok for me but 2 or 3 floors with luggage could be bothersome for others.
Window cannot be open more than a few cm. Annoying to change the air. But these are just details

Good except for hot room temperature.
Pros:

Location and friendly staff. Size of our room was good but daughters was smaller.

Cons:

No aircon. It was heatwave but still be uncomfortable in normal summer. The fans provided were as effective as could be. Also hotels use of duvets in summer is mystifying. .

Great location- poor bed.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Advertised as extra large double bed BUT it was just a regular bed - not even king size let alone queen sized. This was most disappointing.

Pros:

Staff Decore Cleanliness

Cons:

No lift to my third floor room Although a fan was provided in the current heatwave the temperature in the room was a health risk. The skylight in the bathroom should have been opened
