Nobles Hotel in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Zentrales Hotel am Kandy Lake. Sehr nobel und hochwertig gestaltet. Frühstück reichhaltig und eine gute Auswahl. Gutes Zimmer mit allem was man für einen kurzen Zwischenstopp braucht.

Cons:

Das Personal hatte uns etwas komisch angeschaut, als wir mit unseren Backpacks eingecheckt hatten. Dadurch fühlte man sich nicht sehr gut empfangen.
Das Hotel liegt an einer sehr befahrenen Straße direkt am Kandy Lake, wodurch es lauter werden kann - die kleine Zufahrt zum Hotel ist sehr eng und steil, somit für Fahrer nur schwer zugänglich. Außerdem fehlte ein Föhn auf dem Zimmer, nach dem wir fragten. Dieser erhielten wir jedoch erst nach der zweiten Nachfrage.
Die Zimmertür schließte unten kaum ab, wodurch das Zimmer sehr hellhörig war und man alles auf dem Flur mitbekomme hatte.

値段相応で使い勝手がよいホテルだと思います
Pros:

街の中心地で、湖のほとりにあります。仏歯寺や、いろんなお店などは湖の向こう側で余裕で歩いていけます。
ホテルの前の道路は交通量が多く騒がしいのですが、わたしの泊まった部屋はホテルの裏側の位置がよかったのか、静かに過ごせました。
何気に夜レストランで食べたインドカレーが美味しかったです。他のカフェでランチ食べたんですが、ホテルの食事のほうが満足しました。
朝食は、バイキング形式で、わたしが行ったときは、もうあまりないものもあって、積極的な補充はされないのですが、それでもチキンカレーは美味しかった。

Cons:

特にないですが、最初ホテルの前の道路をどこで渡ろうか悩みました。横断歩道的なものも見当たらなかったため、タイミングをはかりつつ無理やり渡るしかなかったです。

Schönes Stadthotel in super Lage
Pros:

Schönes Stadthotel mit großem und sauberem Zimmer, es sind nur ein paar Gehminuten ins Zentrum. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und auch das Restaurant war super, Essen sehr lecker und die Portionen waren sehr groß.

Cons:

Im zugehörigen Restaurant gibt es keinen Alkohol, aber ausgezeichnete alkoholfreie Cocktail - daher war mir das egal, aber für einige ist es vllt. wichtig.
Leider ist direkt vor dem Hotel eine Hauptstraße, die je nach Tageszeit manchmal nicht so einfach zu überqueren ist, da dort zum Teil viel Verkehr herrscht und es keine Ampel oder so gibt.
