Zweckmäßiges Hotel für einen kurzen Aufenthalt
Pros:

Gut und zentral gelegen, gutes Frühstück und relativ geräumige Zimmer.

Cons:

Zimmer im 3. Stock ohne Aufzug, Fenster konnte man nur kippen, Türen sind immer automatisch zugegfallen - das war sehr laut. Roomservice bestand nur aus Betten machen, der Müll wurde nicht geleert, die Tassen nicht gespült.
Insgesamt sehr altmodisch und dafür war der Preis nicht angemessen.
