Cute, great location, outdated but charming.
Pros:

Location. Bit outdated with not a lot of perks

Cons:

Hard to drive to, parking at hotel parking even more challenging. With so many one way and limited access streets and zillion bikes around I recommend for car drivers to be aware of it.

An absolutely stunning hotel!
Pros:

This hotel is amazing. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The food was very good.

Cons:

Parking was a problem. We got the car parked ok, but it was a long way from the hotel. It might not be too bad for most people, but if you have problems walking like me, it's difficult.

Pros:

It was a very nice place and had a comfortable bed and nice bathroom

Cons:

My room overlooked an outdoor restaurant / bar that was quite noisy on Saturday night, other nights I stayed were however, quiet. Also the bathroom had a huge clear glass window overlooking the restaurant, so for privacy there was a large - I mean very large - roller blind.
