Pros:

The location was very central. The staff were friendly and we enjoyed a drink in the bar and enjoyed the eccentric decor. The bed was large and comfortable.

Cons:

The room was small and the bathroom needed a lot of attention. The taps were temperamental. No cold water in the sink tap until you turned on the hot . The two tap system made it difficult to get the right temperature in the shower. The bathroom was dark as the blind had to be drawn. Even opening it a little exposed you to people in the courtyard The cracked tiles were off putting.

Top!
Pros:

We hadden geen ontbijt, maar het ontvangst was hartelijk. We hadden een klein probleempje met de sleutel. Maar dat werd direct opgelost. We hadden kamer 39, konden we niet vinden, dus misschien wat duidelijker bewegwijzering? Hotelbar ging om 24.00 uur dicht. Dat vonden we wat aan de vroege kant. Dus moesten we helaas uitwijken naar een kroegje buiten het hotel. Maar voor de rest meer dan tevreden.

Cons:

Zie hier boven. Bewegwijzering kamer 39. En sluittijd hotelbar.

Pros:

Wer found all staff outstandingly professional, helpful and friendly!
The location in the middle of the City Center was great, it allowed tiny breaks inbetween various Shopping/ city excursions :)
The building itself ist a historic building with steep stairs and labyrinth alike - but in a fun way!
