Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber, groß und bequem. Es war auch recht leise.

Cons:

Einchecken war recht schwierig, weil die Rezeption nicht besetzt war, und nicht jeder im Restaurant/Bar wusste, dass sie am Wochenende Rezeption mitmachen.

The reviews for this place are way too positive.
Pros:

The room was spacious and clean.
We got free drink vouchers for the pub.
The walls are solid and block most noise from adjoining rooms.
The double bed was surprisingly OK for something that soft.

Cons:

The shower floor was dirty. Almost all the silicone in the bathroom was broken or dirty. There were often no staff around making getting things fixed a hassle. The room had a musty, wet dog smell

The free breakfast was below average, and there was no sauce, no knives, no napkins, only one dirty bowl, and we got the last two big plates so everyone after us had to use small saucer plates. No staff were around, so these things didn't get replaced, and the tables didn't get cleared, so most tables were covered in dirty plates and uneaten food.

The room was very noisy. There was a function downstairs (expected at a pub), and despite them being really polite and quiet guests, the soundproofing through the windows wasn't enough to block out this noise or the traffic noise. Our neighbours balcony door was broken and swollen, and every time they opened it, it made a really loud sound constantly waking us.

Some of this stuff couldn't be helped (ie..traffic noise) but most is down to lack of maintenance, care, and not enough staff. I've paid less for way better.
