Ein gutes, günstiges, kleines Hotel

Angemessenes Zimmer, klein, fein und sauber. Sehr freundliches Personal. Ältere Menschen sollten versuchen, ein Zimmer in den unteren Etagen zu bekommen, da es keinen Aufzug, aber vier Stockwerke gibt. Die Lage ist perfekt. Mitten in der Altstadt, 3 Minuten zur Einkaufspassage im Zentrum und 10 Minuten zum Dom. Das Preis-/Leistungs-Verhältnis ist perfekt und für "normale" Ansprüche eine feine Unterkunft.

Das Zimmer roch furchtbar nach Schimmel. Unsere Kleidung dann auch. Bad viel zu klein. Kalt. Und keine Haken zum was aufhängen. Die Matratze viel zu weich. Also durchgelegen.

If you have to pay 50€ or even 80€ it's okay. But if you have to pay 189€ (as we did) go somewhere else. Even in London I got a better room for this price.Sorry but 189€ is a rip-off.
