Erittäin viihtyisä huone, uniikki miljöö. Kätevästi pääsi ratikalla. Erinomainen aamiainen ja kahvit&päivällinen oli kiva lisä.

"Perfekter Aufenthalt!"

9.0

Aus einem Gefängnis ein Hotel zu machen ist nicht einfach, aber hier hat es zu 100 % funktioniert. Auch die sehr freundlichen Mitarbeiter tun alles um den Besuch so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen oder das Hotel weiterempfehlen.

"Originelles Stadthotel"

9.0

Originell umgebauter "Knast", heute durchaus komfortabel und schick. Unser Zimmer bestand aus zwei früheren Zellen plus eine weitere als Badezimmer. Gewöhnungsbedürftig waren die hochgelegenen kleinen Fenster, die nicht gerade viel Licht ins Zimmer lassen. Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet mit mehreren glutenfreien Optionen. Der zusätzlich angebotene kostenfreie Nachtmittagstee und das Abendessen waren zwar schlicht, aber eine sehr nette Idee, gerade am Anreisetag oder nach anstrengendem Museumstag. Lage etwas vor der Innenstadt, aber Straßenbahnhaltestelle direkt vorm Hotel.

Dusche nur in der Badewanne, die circa 20 cm höher als normal eingebaut war, das machte den Ausstieg auf nasse Fliesen zum gefährlichen Abenteuer. Leider gab es zum Frühstück und am Nachmittag keinen (schwarzen) Tee, sondern ausschließlich parfümiertes und aromatisiertes Zeug - das Personal hielt das für normal und sah keinen Handlungsbedarf. Das war sehr ärgerlich.

Hotellin historia näkyy, mutta se on viihtyisä ja persoonallinen. Hotellin sijainti on erinomainen. Se sijaitsee lähellä keskustaa, kauniiden vanhojen talojen ympäröimänä ja lähellä merta. Ympäristö on siisti ja rauhallinen.

Huoneemme sijaitsi alakerrassa, se oli aika kolea erityisesti pesutilat ja wc.
