The hotel is in an excellent position to get to the Cathedral and the markets. It’s situated on a very busy road full of pubs and clubs so if you land up with a room at the front, you will have to put up with a lot of noise until 4.00am or so. The rooms are quite dated with poor lighting and no tea/coffee making facilities. The bathrooms are small but well lit and recently updated.

The hotel was absolutely fine for our needs but just be aware that it is on a very busy street for bars so depending on which side you stay it can be noisier. We found the pillows to be very flat - one of us slept with 3 and the other used the spare duvet plus 1! We also had to keep the window open the whole time despite it being December because of how hot the room was and there was no aircon, so I would struggle to stay here at any other time of the year.

Renovierungsbedürftig

Das Zimmer war ausreichend für eine Person, es gab sogar ein kleines Sofa. Allerdings war mein Zimmer ziemlich abgewohnt. Die Tür zum Bad war "ausgefranst", in der Dusche war Schimmel, am Nachtschrank das Furnier abgeplatzt... Ich hatte ein einziges Glas und das war zum Zähneputzen. Ja, ich hätte alles an der Rezeption bekommen, ich will aber nicht wegen allem fragen müssen. Das Hotel hat definitiv keine 4 Sterne verdient!

Ok

The location is good (near metro and Gloria) but there’s an awful smell in reception (toilets, maybe). This was really annoying for me as check-in took ages - 2 guys behind the desk taking ages to check-in the party ahead of me. Shower was a bit mad and no deadlock on the door, so not sure I’d go back.

Zentral gelegen, aber trotzdem ruhig.

Sauberere Zimmer und Flure, aber man merkt das alter der Zimmer und Bäder doch an (zB TV mind. 10 Jahre, Duschwanne, gerade für ältere ein Problem etc), aber ruhig gelegen. Tiefgarage vorhanden und reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet.

One of the two elevators (both from 1988) was out of order. Apparently since 3 months. Rooms felt damp. Strange smell in the foyer.
