Would probably have been a better stay if the heat wave had not hit Europe.
Pros:

Location was ok as was b'fast.

Cons:

Unfortunately we were there in a "hot spell" of weather, and the room fan just didn't do the job. Pillow stretches the definition. Tall and kept hitting the bottom board of the bed. Not very comfortable.

Great location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms
Pros:

The room was quiet even though the hotel is on a busy street. The window in the bathroom was great as it allowed for cool air to circulate through the room.

Cons:

I would have loved to have a kettle in the room.

Todo bien
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal al recibirnos. El hecho de que el hotel está a 5 minutos caminando de la estación del tren. Que el edificio tiene ascensor.

Cons:

Si bien advierten que no tienen aire acondicionado en la habitación, un abanico no es suficiente en verano. Dejar la ventana abierta no era una opción porque se filtraba el ruido exterior.

Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, nah am Bahnhof und an der Funicolare zur Altstadt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gutes Frühstück.

Cons:

Leider ist die Lage an einer Hauptstrasse eher laut, obwohl mein Zimmer nicht direkt an der Straße lag.
