Lovely staff, perfect
Pros:

The staff were lovely and very helpful. Bed was comfy and the view of the sea was a lovely extra.

Cons:

The noise from the room above was very loud from 6.45 on Sunday morning. Creaky floorboards and lack of soundproofing was the reason but we appreciate it’s an old building.

Freundliches Haus, in die Jahre gekommen.
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Personal, großes Zimmer, tolle Lage direkt am Meer. Frühstück: landestypische Auswahl, guter Service. Ein altes Gebäude mit Charme. Liebevoll eingerichteter Frühstücksraum.

Cons:

„Nicht gefallen“ ist falsch ausgedrückt. Man muss nur wissen, worauf man sich einzustellen hat. Das Gebäude ist historisch und besonders, insgesamt aber auch verlebt. Ich habe es so erwartet, also alles gut. Ja, mit würden neuere Teppichböden auch besser gefallen. Wer geräuschempfindlich ist, sollte auf jeden Fall Ohrstöpsel einpacken. Je nach Lage des Zimmer hört man jedes „Getrampel“ (und spürt es teilweise im Bett). Trotzdem würde ich wieder dort einchecken (zumindest, wenn ich nicht deutlich mehr Geld ausgeben möchte/kann).
