Ok til enkelt overnatning.
Jeg hader virkeligt hotelværelser uden vinduer, men her var da et godt delt af skillevæg. Meget lille vindue ud til lukket "gård" og ca 4 etager op til frisk luft.
Ind- og udtjekning tager uendeligt lang tid, så sæt god tid af til at vente ( meget anderledes end i andre lande åbenbart)
Prisen var dyr. Værelset lille. Rengøring ok. Hyggeligt receptionsområde. Venligt personale.

Friendly and accommodating staff, excellent location. We will certainly return.
We used, due to our needs and circumstances, three different rooms. They vary in sizes, appearance and location. Of the three rooms, the one with a balcony overlooking the street and the park was the most comfortable.
