Pros:

Room very nicely appointed and breakfast was excellent, both in terms of quality and choice.

Cons:

We needed somewhere close to the motorway; this is very close and if you're a light sleeper who likes a window open at night, it might be a bit noisy. Didn't bother me though!

Výborný poměr ceny a kvality, vřele doporučujeme! Určitě přijedeme znovu!
Pros:

Snídaně v tomto hotelu předčila naše očekávání! Všeho dostatek, jídlo chutné, v příjemném prostředí. Hotelová restaurace taktéž nezklamala. Opravdu nelze nic vytknout. Personál milý a usměvavý, k nám jako cizincům příjemně přátelský. Pokoje čisté, uklizené, s připojením na wi-fi bez problému. Cestovali jsme se psy, ubytování s tím nemělo sebemenší problém. Pouze mají jednotnou taxu za celý pobyt, takže se vyplatí víc pobyt delší, než-li kratší. Parkoviště prostorné - bez problému. Koho chytne hlad ještě v pozdějších hodinách, pár kroků od hotelu je fast food.

Will stay again.
Pros:

I love the handiness of the proximity to the motorway. The staff are helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean and beds comfortable.

Cons:

Shower was a bit roasting or freezing but that’s life sometimes. Breakfast was sufficient but the apple juice is odd.
