Angenehmer Aufenthalt in historischem Gebäude
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt und die Zimmer großzügig. Nice fanden wir das historische Bad und das Gesamtambiente des Hauses. Ein kostenloser Parkplatz steht auch zur Verfügung. In der Nähe gibt es jede Menge Restaurants.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war etwas spärlich für so ein schönes Haus. Und wir waren etwas verwundert über eine kleine Nachbuchung. Es waren zwar nur rund 5,50€, aber trotzdem irritierend.

Pros:

Pleasant staff.

Cons:

The air conditioner was aimed right at our bed and had to put something in front of it in order to deflect the wind from it.
We were in the front of the building and the street noise went into the night. It resumed prior to 07:00.

The room served its purpose.
Pros:

Location and close proximity to shops.

Cons:

The tiniest of bathroom I have ever seen. Just about the size of a dollhouse.
