This was one my favorite places in B.A. however, its deffinitly not for everyone. The hotel is old, funky, and rather shabby. However, if you like crazy german art, alternative personality stamped all over everything, great service, and amenities like an old marble bathroom, or private balcony its a fantastic deal. Plus the food in the restrarunt was outstanding and vegitarian friendly. After missing breakfast buffet after breakfast buffet at other hotels we were served 4 trays of pastries and savory delights when we woke up (even after noon), in the privacy or their rooftop garden (including a tiny swimming pool). The location is mediocre, not swank but I never felt threatened, even when we walked around at night. It struck me as a family area.
