Lage ist top. Ein kleines Waschbecken hätte dem WC sehr gut getan.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Die Zimmer haben ihren eigenen Stil.

Cons:

Das Zimmer ist im Maisonette-Stil. Das Bett ist in der unteren Etage, das WC ebenso. Das WC hat allerdings kein Waschbecken. Die befindet sich oben samt Bad in der ersten Etage. Der Schrankraum ist sehr begrenzt. Die Treppe recht steil. Das Zimmer insgesamt recht dunkel.

Eine ganz besondere Hotelerfahrung!
Pros:

Das ist eine einmalige Hotelerfahrung. Das Ambiente ist wirklich sehr speziell, bis in die kleinsten Details. Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr freundlich, das Zimmer (das Bad auf der oberen Etage) gross und sauber, die Betten äusserst komportabel. Die Lage des Hotels iT perfekt, um die Innenstadt zu Fuss zu erkunden. Wir würden sofort wieder hier übernachten.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist überteuert. Deshalb ein Tipp: Im gleichen Gebäude, nur ein paar Schritte entfernt, gibt es ein tolles Restaurant der Kette „Le Pain Quotidien“, in dem man zum halben Preis hervorragend frühstücken kann.

One for the books!
Pros:

We LOVED this hotel, one of the best we’ve stayed at (and we travel quite a lot).
The attention to detail of the personnel is just immaculate, specially Ines who helped us with everything since we checked in and couldn’t do enough for us.
We told her we had to leave early and she helped us requesting breakfast to go (which honestly was amazing).
The room had unbeatable views from the balcony, it smelled amazing, decorations are stylish (like a magazine) and it has everything you could dream of. Bed is super comfy.
Also, we wanted to thank the hotel because they had some surprises ready for our honeymoon, that also were very thoughtful and beautiful. Thank you for the hand written note in Spanish! We were sad to leave!

Cons:

Nothing, we need to come back already :)
