Lovely hotel in the heart of the city

Excellent breakfast with regional products in a lovely little backyard. Location is right in the heart of the city. Super friendly staff.

The beds were a bit soft, but the slatted frame is adjustable. Just ask them to show you.

Ambivalent mit Licht- und Schattenseiten
Pros:

Tolle Lage, sehr freundliches Personal und klare Anweisungen wegen Fahrrad, sehr nett mit der Nachsendung von Kleidung, Frühstück ok

Cons:

Preis hart an der Obergrenze; Zimmer viel zu heiss (kaum lüftbar), Bett (Matraze) und Bettausstattung billige Kissen nicht preisgerecht, generell zu teuer gemessen an Ausstattung, zwei Fenster als Schacht zum Innenhof müssten deklariert sein (da drittes Fenster öffnen zur Strasse hin wegfällt wegen Lärm), Sauberkeit na ja (Ungeziefer im Zimmer bei Ankunft), Umgebung (Quartier) teilweise etwas heruntergekommen
