Nous avons passe un agreable séjour. La chambre etait sympa mais pas tres bien insonorisee (Chambre sur rue). Nous entendions les gens marcher au dessus de notre chambre. En revanche, le petit dejeuner etait top et le personnel très professionnel. Letablissement est proche des centres d intérêts et station de métro.

Frühstück war gut. Es gibt auch einen Wäscheaum mit Möglichkeit kostenlos eine Waschmaschine, sowie Trockner zu nutzen bzw die Wösche aufzuhängen. Zimmer war sauber und groß genug. Jedoch hat es im Zimmer extrem schlecht gerochen. Wir haben vermutet, dass die Dusch(trasse) spritzt oder ausläuft. Das Hotel hat extra gereinigt und einen Entfeuchter aufgestellt, hat leider nicht komplett geholfen. Und das wirklich schnell, obwohl es Sonntags war.
