"Overall excellent and comfortable."

9.0

There was never any staff in the lobby or check-in area, except for a night when an event was taking place. At times I would have felt more comfortable knowwing someone was there, for security reasons.

"Etwas enttäuschend"

7.0

Das Hotel liegt zentral, die Altstadt ist zu Fuß schnell erreichbar. Der erste Stock des Gebäudes ist sehr schön.

Zimmer: Unser Zimmer im 4ten Stock war extrem dunkel, es gab nur 3 kleine Minifenster (30×30cm ca.) Man kommt sich vor wie in einer Abstellkammer oder Gefängnis (zum schlafen ist es ok). Das Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung gequietscht. Ab und zu hat man andere Hotelgäste durch die Klimanlage laut reden gehört. Der Fernseher war nicht angeschlossen an die Antenne, man konnte sich nur selbst über Apps wie zB Netflix einloggen. Bei uns waren die Fensterrahmen im Zimmer innen schmutzig und voller Flecken (Kaffee?). Hotel insgesamt: Selfservice ist gewöhnungsbedürftig. Das Frühstücksbuffet war auch gewöhnungbedürftig. Man hat das Gefühl es wird gerade genug Essen bereit gestellt damit es für die Hotelgäste die da sind reicht. Wenn man aber nicht gerade um 8 Uhr schon Frühstücken geht sieht man fast nur noch Reste von allem. Manchmal war kein Besteck mehr da oder es wurde erst gebracht (dann aber auch nur 1-3 Messer zb). Das Erdgeschoß/der Eingangsbereich ist komplett dunkel, die Wände und die Decke sind schwarz gestrichen. Das macht keinen Einladenden oder warmen Eindruck. Beim ersten Mal Eintreten hat man das Gefühl man ist in einem Labyrinth oder einer Diskothek gelandet. Die Teppiche sind schmutzig man sieht überall Flecken. Die Bilder mit denen das Hotel auf Booking wirbt sind quasi alle nur aus dem ersten Stock (der sehr schön ist) und von Zimmern auf den unteren Stockwerken. Ich hatte gedacht, dass das ganze Hotel diesen Charme/Einrichtung hat, leider war das nicht der Fall.

"Very Good"

7.0

Location was good. Building was interesting and felt like an experience. Self checking in was manageable and communicating via WhatsApp was ok. Breakfast had interesting things to try.

Would have liked some signs on breakfast so it was less of a guessing game. It was lovely it wasn't generic but if you want international guests help us make the most of it by giving us some names or descriptions of what you have on offer. We found the reception area very dark and disorientating, I know it is trendy and modern but it was so hard to see if wasn't very functional. The hotel doors/gates were consistently open while we were there.

"Immer wieder gerne."

9.0

Das Zimmer war charming, groß und bot Einblicke in eine vergangene Epoche. Personal war nicht zu sehen, was aber auch nicht nötig war. Das Frühstück war überschaubar.
