It's a good hotel for the budget. Very basic, no frills. Parking can be a pain, especially if you're not good at street parking. It's best if you have a small car.
It's a very European hotel. No elevators so you may need to walk up 2-3 flights of stairs.
There's no gadgets in room 25, aside from a tv and iPod (older version) docking station, and old heaters to keep you warm. The bathroom had a very tiny shower, like a fish tank, and the soap is generic to double up as a shampoo / gel. And a hair dryer that may take extra time to dry.
The room 25 was a bit stuffy but airs out after opening the window. I'm afraid it will be hot in the summer as there's no AC. The bed was old, but comfortable and there's some storage space, but it was easier to live out of suitcase.
Location isn't bad and I heard public transportation is a few minutes walk. There's a French restaurant down the street that was a little pricy but excellent, a pizza/ pasta place and a cafe if you want breakfast outside the hotel. The hotel doesn't provide breakfast in the room rate, but for an additional €10 per person there's a buffet at 07:00-0900 that's pretty good. Not hot food but plenty of selection like meats, cheese, breads, cereals, yogurts, juice, teas and coffees, including cappuccino.
Four stars is about as high as I can suggest. Sebastian is a doll, overly helpful, as is his staff. Again, factor in price and it's a good value but you may miss the comforts of a commercial hotel.
