Bonne adresse pour visiter Victoria
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel, proximité de la ville pour tout faire à pieds. Resto et pub directement sur place très appréciable avec un billard ! Café et thé à disposition gratuitement dans le hall tous les matins.

Cons:

Insonorisation insuffisante : on entend les gens dans le couloir et la machine à glaçons.

Historisches Haus mit sehr viel Charme aber nicht altbacken. Zuvorkommendes Personal dabei nicht aufdringlich. Das Restaurant im Haus ist ebenfalls sehr gut,

Cons:

Kein Lift, da historisches Gebäude
