Disappointing and wouldn’t stay again.

Pros: It’s central so dont have to walk far to get to the shops and restaurants Cons: Used to be lovely but since changing hands it’s gone downhill a lot. I wouldn’t stay here again. Wasn’t worth the money and the room was absolutely tiny. Felt grubby, facilities weren’t good and bath looked dirty. Felt like a hostel so for the price it was disappointing.

Pros: a localização muito boa, os funcionários muito simpáticos, o pequeno almoço bom Cons: Estavamos no 6 andar e durante 3 dias o elevador não funcionou. O nosso quarto não tinha nenhuma ficha USB.

Not up to previous standards by a long way.

Pros: Location was convenient for me. Cons: The room wasn't very clean - pubic hairs in the bathroom. Apart from when I checked in, there were never any staff at reception, I had to go to the restaurant to find someone. When I got back to the hotel on the night of my stay, there was a man walking in and out of the ground floor - on previous stays, guests had to use their card to enter the building at night, so I didn't feel very safe. There is no longer a bar, the hotel has lost its licence.

Pros: Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind bequem zu Fuss zu erreichen. Der Lärm aus der vor dem Hotel liegenden Fussgängerzone (mit diversen Pubs etc.) stört zumindest in den oberen Etagen nicht. Cons: Das Hotel ist deutlich "in die Jahre gekommen" Das Mobiliar, der abgenutzte Holzboden und insbesondere der Zustand im Bad passen gar nicht zu einem 4-Sterne-Haus. Die Sauberkeit liess bisweilen auch zu wünschen übrig.
