Het ontbijt is erg duur, maar er is ook een kleiner ontbijt verkrijgbaar met een beperkter assortiment. Dat stond echter nergens vermeld.

Πολύ ωραίο!
Pros:

Καθαρό και εργονομικό δωμάτιο, με όλες τις παροχές! Το κέντρο είναι μερικά βήματα περπάτημα. Ωραίο και το πρωινό! Μου άρεσε ιδιαίτερα η διαμονή και θα το ξανά επέλεγα!

Pros:

Frühstück war super - Kompliment.
Die Zimmer sind modern eingerichtet.

Cons:

Zimmer ist nicht sehr gross, aber da darin 2 (an sich schöne und bequeme) Sessel stehen, fehlt der Platz um die Koffer zu deponieren - zumal die Ablage für Kleider auch sehr knapp bemessen ist
