Das Hotel selber ist in der 4 .Etage und voll akzeptabel.Nettes Personal und einfallsreiche Dekoration und Austattung.Aber unser Zimmer war sehr klein,wenn’s hoch kommt 12 qm.Das Bett nur 140 Breit.Kein Nachttisch und der Tisch ca.50 cm mit Nur 1 Stuhl.Eine sehr gute Dusche,dafür sehr,sehr langsames Internet . Der Ausblick auf die Müllcontainer war nicht schön.Abends würde ich nicht rausgehen,da laufen sehr merkwürdige Männer rum

La chambre était assez petite considérant un 3 étoiles, manque de prises électriques et aucune dans la salle de bain. Personnel très sympa mais problème d'isolation phonique entre les chambres.
