Hotel-Pension Funk

Getting the key out of small box not clearly marked or indeed explained in the email was very stressful. This is a real problem. Hotel reception closes at 4pm!!!!

"Funky" can be defined as a cool, Sixties hippie place, or a place so stanky your Mom would run away from it in minutes. Make sure you know which one you want, before you stay here. To me, it looked like the home of the Addams Family. Dark hallways, missing or broken bulbs in most fixtures. I stayed for a few nights and then left town and then came back. I asked for a different room because the bed in the first room was too short for an adult. I came back a second time because the hotel refused to waive any of my pre-payment deposit, which I requested because I am partially disabled and my condition had flared up, and the elevator does not go to the ground floor all the time. The long stairway was very difficult for me. Towels were shabby. Internet doesn't work well. There was loud noise every night from 5 to 8 from the floor above. Poor heating. One day I returned to the room and the cleaning staff had left it unlocked all day. Breakfast was standard. You have to ask for shower and bathroom amenities. There was a dirty bottle in the room when I checked in. Most important is that I do not think that there are smoke alarms in the rooms! The location is great, with restaurants all around.

A great place to stay - central location, charming host, clean and comfortable room, good breakfast and above all a splendidly atmospheric hotel . There's a mood of early C20th movie glamour and history - intensified by photos of silent film star Asta Nielsen and by the presence of a 1920s lift, worth a try. Highly recommended.
