Pros:

Das Zimmer und das Bad waren groß und zeitgemäß eingerichtet und sauber. Die an das Hotel angrenzende Bar bzw. Restaurant hat uns gut gefallen. Eine der Mitarbeiterinnen war besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Dass es keinen Aufzug gab war uns bekannt. Die ständige Musik (auch im Treppenhaus) fanden wir dauerhaft etwas nervig. Die Kaffeezubereitung auf dem Zimmer war etwas dürftig mit heißem Wasser und Pulver. Am 2. Tag war zwar aufgefüllt, aber es gab keine neuen (Einweg-)becher.

Lovely stay
Pros:

I loved the fact that the soap provided as a complimentary amenity is cruelty-free and certified by Leaping Bunny! I'd always support businesses that care about animal welfare and don't perpetuate animal cruelty. Well done, and please keep it up!

Cons:

Yes, you can hear the music from the pub below. But it stops promptly when the pub closes (around 1/2 a.m.), so if you're a night owl like me, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
That said, I still stand by what I said before: businesses that care deserve recognition.
