Ok, aber nicht nochmal, zu teuer
Pros:

Die Lage war super. Direkt am Freitagsmarkt. Vom Zimmer aus Flussblick relativ ruhig.

Cons:

Der Frühstücksraum war ungemütlich klimageräte mit offenen Leitungen. Lampen schief angebracht. und die tische und Stuhlkissen schmutzig vom Vorgänger obwohl meist nur 1-3 Tische besetzt waren. Personal dort wenig motiviert. Es war nichts organisiert. 25€ für dieses Frühstück schon happig. Die Dusche war eine Wanne mit viel zu hohem Einstieg. In der Wanne direkt ein Balken. Man konnte kaum stehen. Licht im Bad sehr dunkel. Neben unserem Zimmer direkt die Küche. Achtung bei der dritten Etage. Preis-Leistung eher schlecht. Sah alles im Netz deutlich netter aus .

Pros:

Schöne Lage am Fluß ,zentrale Lage aber trotzdem ruhig,leider eine Baustelle nebenan,daher ist der Blick beim frühstücken im Moment etwas eingeschränkt.

Cons:

Das Bad war nicht sauber,Mülleimer nicht vom Vorgänger geleert.

Pros:

La literie et l'emplacement

Cons:

La réceptionniste n'était pas très souriante et les explications n'étaient pas claires.
Les chambres ne sont pas insonorisées, on a pu suivre la conversation des voisins
