Inmitten der Stadt
Pros:

Wir waren rundum begeistert von unserem Aufenthalt. Schon die Lage des Hotels ist einfach genial – perfekt gelegen, sodass man alles bequem erreichen kann und gleichzeitig eine angenehme Ruhe genießt. Das Zimmer vielleicht etwas klein, aber nach einem erlebnisreichen Tag will man ja eh nur schlafen. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir auch das ausgesprochen freundliche Personal: stets herzlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit, sodass man sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen fühlt. Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt, den wir jederzeit wiederholen würden!

Cons:

Fehlanzeige

Fantastisch gelegenes, sauberes und gemütliches Hotel mit kostenloser Parkmöglichkeit
Pros:

Sauberes und stylish, aber einfach eingerichtetes Zimmer. Das Bad war klein, aber ausreichend zweckmäßig. Das Hotel liegt gegenüber der Kirche mitten in der Stadt an der Fußgängerzone. Alles ist fussläufig erreichbar. Parken ist kostenlos an der Kirche möglich, tagsüber oft besetzt, abends aber problemlos. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück einfach und von guter Qualität ( Wurst, Köse, Toast, Salate, Kaffee aus dem Automaten, Säfte, Skyr und Obst ). Wir würden jederzeit wieder dort übernachten.

Cons:

Der Raum war etwas klein, mit viel Gepäck wird es wahrscheinlich zu eng, sonst alles perfekt. Früher Check in muss stundenweise bezahlt werden. Hier wäre mehr Service möglich.

Soggiorno con vista cattedrale e pancake caldi a colazione
Pros:

Posizione fantastica proprio davanti alla cattedrale, comodissima per visitare a piedi la città. Camere accoglienti anche se piccoline. Lo staff è stato gentilissimo a darci una stanza a un piano inferiore e leggermente più grande in quanto abbiamo una bimba. Colazione ottima e varia

Cons:

Assenza dell’ascensore e di parcheggio privato ma ottime indicazioni per parcheggio in loco gratuito 24/7
