Cons:

Die Matratze war mittelmäßig, die Dusche eine Herausforderung. Die Dusche befindet sich in einer Dachschräge und es ist kaum möglich sich ordentlich zu duschen.

Nice stay in a great location.
Pros:

Great location beautiful views. Lovely walk up to the castle

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit disorganised on the first day. The trays of food and coffee weren’t being kept full, had to wait for eggs. Second day was much better. Some mushrooms and pastries on the menu would be nice.

Hôtel cher pour la qualité générale alors qu’il pourrait avoir du potentiel.
Pros:

Le personnel, l’emplacement avec la vue, la salle de bain et le petit déjeuner

Cons:

L’odeur de cigarette dans le couloir qui mène aux chambres, la détérioration des murs (coups et marques) et de la porte, l’agencement de la chambre (impossible d’ouvrir la porte totalement), la moquette, le lit manque de confort, l’isolation de la chambre (on entend les voisins tousser ou aux toilettes)

Clean, well presented hotel, rooms a little on the small side for the money, breakfast fantastic!
Pros:

Our room was fresh and clean, no frills. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice, fresh, hot and delicious. Service was also spot on. This was the best part of our stay.

Cons:

The room was very small for the cost. It was a bit of a squeeze getting around the bed and dressing table. Basic coffee and tea facilities and no glasses for water. Not enough parking for the amount of rooms here, and when your car is loaded with holiday luggage you don’t really want to park it several streets away.
