It was a beautiful, serene, clean stay and I would love to stay again. Perfect location in the city center too. Communication and check in were easy as well.
All was good.

Amazing location, little garden, quietness and the hammam! Super vibe and kind welcome from the owner. We really felt like valued friends. Will definitely come again and stay at Schopenhauer again.

Nice view into the garden, though looks a bit sad in winter. Quiet location. Friendly staff.
No clear instructions how to use Hammam, was not able to use it at all during the stay. Musty smell in the room, and also the shower smells off. Barely any usable electrical outlets next to the bed, and no really usable night stands. Wifi did not work, no stable connection at all. Lots of dust and dirt in the "heater hole" in the floor (I do not expect the cleaning lady to take care of that though, that seems a nightmare to get to). The entrance looks a bit shady, thought I was booking a hotel but it was just another AirBnB-situation where you grab your own key from a hole in the wall. The corridor towards the room is also not very clean (check underneath the bathroom boiler, it looks like it's been dripping on the floor for a year or two. No, this was not in a private utility room as the nice man is saying in his respone below, it's in the hallway to the bathroom, right next to the bathroom, in plain view) and difficult to squeeze through because art is just leaning on the wall
Lastly, please stop buying starbucks coffee pods, especially not the onest with roast level 8. I am not a snob about coffee, but that tasted awful and just burned.
Just also saw that the owner writes really arrogant responses to negative reviews, where he complains that people just don't "get" the concept and that they're stupid. I don't know man, that seems pretty rude. You entered into a transaction with us, we have the right to complain if we feel we didn't get what we paid for. Maybe take it less personally?
But I guess I'm getting one of those replies, too. Should have read those before booking, that one is on me...
