In good location, but very noisy outside

Pros: - Breakfast was good, with decent choice - Hotel within walking distance of the town centre
Cons: - Rooms need sound proofing as noise from traffic on street very intrusive - Mattress is too hard, and pillows too thin
We stayed for one night at the Castello City hotel and found it was in a good location, within walking distance of the town center. It's comfortable and clean with all the basics covered. The breakfast was good with decent choice, and the breakfast lounge had a nice view overlooking the town. The WIFI was free, but had to be used in the breakfast room as it wasn't very good signal in the room we had. However, the main issues were the bed was ridiculously hard, like sleeping on a wooden board, and the pillow was very thin like paper, even thinner than my balding hair. In addition, the noise from the street outside was very intrusive, with loud mopeds going past. So wasn't a particularly good night's sleep.

hôtel situé aux portes de la ville

Pros: Le confort de la chambre. La salle de restauration panoramique située au dernier étage de l'hôtel, magnifique. Les petits déjeuners très copieux
Cons: La communication avec les clients en cas de problème
Location: Situé aux portes de la vieille ville, il est possible de rejoindre le coeur de la ville à pied.
Nous avions réservé longtemps à l'avance 3 nuits à Castello city hôtel. Quelle ne fût pas notre déception quand à notre arrivée la réception nous annonce qu'elle ne peut pas nous accueillir ce soir dans l'hôtel en raison d'un congres, le groupe ne pouvant pas être séparé et réparti dans d'autres hôtels. Nous n'avons pas été informés en amont de cela. Bien évidemment la réception de l'hôtel a prévu de nous héberger ailleurs, dans un autre hôtel situé 3 km plus loin. Le standing est similaire mais mieux vaut avoir une voiture car l'hôtel se situe loin de la ville. Devant notre mécontentement, la réceptionniste nous promet de nous donner une chambre à Castello pour les 2 nuits suivantes et nous invite à dînner gratuitement au restaurant de l'hôtel jusqu'à notre départ.

Ideales Stadthotel

Pros: Frühstück
Location: Zentral, direkt an Bushaltestelle. Man kann alles zu fuß erkunden!
Das gebuchte DZ war bestimmt eines der "schlechteren Zimmer". Als ruhiges Zimmer bekamen wir den Blick auf den Innenhof. Das Zimmer war abgewohnt. Aber egal, für 2 Nächte ok. Ideal für Stadterkundungen. Erlebnis: Frühstück im 5. Stock mit Blick über die Stadt. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und gut. Personal ist positiv zu erwähnen, hier auch die Reinigungsfeen!
