Gerne wieder
Pros:

Das Gebäude vom Hotel liegt zwar an einer stärker befahrenen Strasse. Wir hatten jedoch ein Zimmer nach hinten zum Garten und das war sehr ruhig. Wir haben kein Frühstück gebucht, hätten das aber auch problemlos noch dazunehmen können. Unser Zimmer war die kleinste Kategorie, aber dennoch sehr praktisch und komfortabel eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
