Dear Madam Carol, Greetings and Thank you so much for staying at the Gutenbergs Hotel. It was absolutely a delight to meet you and to be of service to you during your stay, Madam.

An old world with a great location in the old time. Front desk staff multilingual and always willing to help. Excellent restaurant upstairs. On the not so great side the rooms although large are very tired and in need of a makeover, the bathroom in our room was very basic. but the water was hot and plentiful. The beds, pillows and towels all on the tired side.The heating system is old and difficult to find a comfortable temperature. Breakfast rated poor.

Dear Madam Patricia, Greetings and Thank you so much for staying at the Gutenbergs Hotel. We also would like to Thank you for posting your review both - and at the Booking.com and at the Tripadvisor as it means a lot to us. It breaks our heart to know that you had some discomfort during breakfast and with the room, nonetheless, it makes us wonder why you have not asked for our help, even when We have asked you couple of times if everything is going well during your stay as most of the problems that occurred during your stay could have been dealt with within a short time in order to provide much more comfortable stay for you. For example - when something is wrong within the room - it is not possible, but necessary to inform us, so that it could fixed in no time at all. As an alternative to that - free of charge change of the room was possible as We have modern Junior Suites as well. Speaking about breakfast, with all due respect, but as the breakfast starts not at 7:30, when you were coming to have breakfast, but from 8:00, what is also written within the guests cards and Booking.com, it is not a wonder that the buffet was poor in selection before it is even opened. We sincerely recommend to all our guests to not be afraid to ask help from us as it is always a pleasure We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, Madam. Nonetheless, as you have not asked for help and as you have given false information to the Reception workers that your stay is going well - there was little We could have done to help you. We sincerely recommend to all our guests to not be afraid to ask help from us as it is always a pleasure to help as well as the cooperation and trust between the guests and Staff of the Hotel is a key for a much better and comfortable stay. Sincerely and good health willing, Levs Gutenbergs Hotel's Reception

Lovely hotel, full of character. The location is great - right in the old, very picturesque part of town and a two minute walk to the Christmas Market. Our room was large and comfortable and we had an excellent night's sleep. Breakfast was excellent too - a great variety of cold and cooked options. The front desk staff were really helpful and knowledgeable. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

This was a great hotel, with wonderful staff and in a very central location. I was given a very friendly and welcoming experience. The included breakfast had a good range of cold and hot choices, and I liked that it was open until 11am. I would definitely stay here again

Unbeatable location on a quiet street just off Dome Square. Huge suite room in need of modernisation. Reception very helpful. Breakfast was average, limited choice and not well managed regularly running out out of things like bread, coffee beans, water, butter, jam. Also hotel doesn’t have a bar or residents lounge area

Hotel Guternbergs is a traditional family hotel in the centre of the Old Town. It offers all you'd expect by way of mod cons, but with character, and you can step out directly into Dome Square. For the room price, you couldn't get better value. The staff are super helpful and friendly, so we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
