Fantastic in every way
Pros:

A super choice.
It started with the friendliness, then the complimentary coffee and tea, and a very pleasant spacious and clean room. Quiet, and comfy all around.
The breakfast was fantastic.
Location is very good for city sightseeing.

Cons:

Nothing crossed our minds during the entire stay.
Except when leaving - it should've been longer!

Good room for a short stay, good breakfast, friendly staff albeit a little thin walled
Pros:

The bed was very comfortable, the shower was good and the room was very clean.

Cons:

It was very hot in the room and I didn't feel comfortable to open the window at night. The room was on the ground floor and the window had no option to tip - it was either open or shut.
being an old building, sound isolation between rooms was an issue on my stay. I heard my room neighbours talking.
