Disappointed stay..
Pros:

Breakfast was good!

Cons:

We had bad experience in the hotel unfo. I left my AirPods in the room and wrote the same day we left the hotel and I had the signal and connection with them for 4 days more after our departure where it was shown that they are in the room left
But the personnel wrote us that they didn’t find them in the room. Very pity that somebody from the cleaning personal took it and didn’t give it back to administration. I think this is disgusting to use the left AirPods from the guests… who really can do it??
They wrote it was the next guest but I really doubt it as we wrote sharply when we left the hotel.
In 4 days there was not a signal of them anymore. It means they waited for some time and started to use them.
Really disappointed as never have faced this. Usually if we leave smth like this - we are usually given the thing back. In any country. Couldn’t imagine that can experience this in Germany.

Pros:

Pohodlné a měkké postele, přídavný polštář, pokoj čistý a voňavý, zatemňovací závěsy byly skvělé a dobře se nám spalo, poloha hotelu byla také velmi dobrá, ocenily jsme také rychlovarnou konvici.

Cons:

Jediné, co mi na pokoji chybělo, byla alespoň malá chladnička, jinak byla vše perfektní!

Nice hotel in an urban setting that was convenient for sightseeing.
Pros:

The location was near the tourist sites which was good. We didn't do the hotel breakfast since there were many places near the hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Would have liked 3 separate beds rather than a double and a single. I was traveling with my son and grandson, so not a big deal, but separate beds would have been preferable.
