    Nothing ! Might be challenging for people with mobility issues due to stairs .

    Wonderful location in centre of old town . Easy communication with the owner who let us put our bikes in the small seating area . We had fourth floor room which meant quite a few stairs but we didn’t mind as the view from our room was great . We had everything we needed with a clever wardrobe that opened up into a small kitchen ! We were able to sleep with windows open as the square restaurants closed around 10.30 . Great bakery round corner for breakfast .

    Location: smack in the historic city center. The place is a beautiful studio apartment, with a bathroom (shower), a kitchenette, and a superb view onto a historic city square. The apartment is so well-organized that a traveler lacks for nothing. Strong WiFi. Excellent throughout.

    We had large suitcases with us which was a challenge to get to the top of the spiral staircase.

    The historic house was brilliantly located on the market place. We had a spacious room, comfortable bed and gorgeous view. We bought breakfast downstairs in the very good bakery each morning.

    We were quite puzzled at the arrival when no one was at the reception, so we had to call the owner, who answered after few minutes, to give us a code to our key box. All of which went smooth. One thing that could be uncomfortable for some older or disabled people is the fact that the building does not have a lift. So when we learned that our apartment is on the 5th floor and we had to climb that up after our 100 km bike ride, we had a true challenge ahead of us :-) The kitchen was quite big and had some equipment and appliances which were listed in the itinerary, however, for us it lacked a cutting board and a dish washing sponge. The bed was big but too soft to our taste. Nevertheless, all of these mentioned points were just small flaws (among all the pluses) almost not worth mentioning.

    Accomodation located right in the city centre with breathtaking view. Quite calm location with interesting surroundings. We could check in during later evening, the owner was very friendly and helpful and let us store our bikes right at the reception. You can get an amazing spacious apartment with equipped kitchen on request. Everything was super clean. Definitely worth the money.

    It was a little bit loud outside, but it's a big city, so can't really fault the stay,that should be expected.

    Room was wonderful, clean and with a historical feel to it (very pleasant surprise). The hosts put a lot of thought with extra necessities and information was very useful too, since it was my wifes and I first visit to Bautzen. Price was excellent too and the check-in was great. Would definitely like to get back there again. Thank you very much!

    Water pressure is good everywhere, except shower :( Check in instruction could've been send as sms or via booking chat, instead you need to call and get the pass code for the locker, as there is no reception. Pillows are terrible, they are in desperate need of replacement, sheets weren't soft too, only duvet was nice. Our electric kettle was leaking while pouring the water. If you have luggage and get upper rooms - it may be very challenging to climb the spiral wood stairs. WiFi was quite weak.

    It's a great place in a city center for travellers without luggage (our room was upstairs, with a great view). I don't know if all the rooms have such a nice small kitchen hidden in a closet, but our had and it was a surprise for me. The place is clean, in very good condition, considering it's an old house. Everything you need is there: nicely smelling soaps and other small things in the bathroom, comfortable siting aream, coffee, tea. Staff is friendly and helpful, despite the fact they almost don't speak English.

    steep and a lot of stairs up to the 4th floor (no elevator) especially with two heavy suitcases. WiFi in top room (4th floor) isn‘t usable almost (good WiFi repeater signal, but almost no throughput to the internet)

    Great location in the centre marketplace of Bautzen, nice renowed in a old, historical building

    We had to take super quick showers, as the warm water won‘t last long enough for two people. It would have been nice to have a second pillow as the one that was provided was not really comfortable or supportive while sleeping. If you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. The church bells, right in front if the hotel, ring every hour also during the night.

    The room was spacious and exceptional clean. The fully equipped kitchen offered everything you would need for a longer stay. The location was great for exploring the heart of downtown and you get a great view of the square.

    The apartment is on the 5th floor (!!!!) with no elevator, which is not mentioned anywhere in the booking. I had lots of luggage and after the entire day in the car it was awful to carry it up the narrow stairs. If I'd known, I wouldn't have chosen this place🙁

    We did not know we had to climb five sets of stairs to get to our sitting room, and another flight to our bedroom. When you are person with a cane, it is not right to have to carry luggage up six flights of stairs. My poor wife had to carry all of our luggage. The sight needs to say, there are six sets of winding, narrow stairs, with no lift. We loved the place but think Booking.Com owes us a refund.

    The hotel is very clean, the woman who met us, I think she is called Peggy, was very, very friendly & helpful. I recommend it, if you can climb stairs.

    First of all, what annoyed me the most - the hostess does not speak a word of English, so it was difficult to get into the room upon arrival. Breakfast is not available. Payment in cash or a separate bank transfer is required after the stay.

    Spacious room. View from the window
