Staying here was restful
Pros:

The front desk staff were wonderful. They went out of their way to welcome us, give us hints on things to do in the area and even show us an easy way to get our luggage to the train station. In all our travels they have been the best!

Pros:

The garlic and lemon soup was something out of this world. Excellent hotel in general, but the soup…

Perfect location and excellent apartment
Pros:

Excellent location, beautiful town

Cons:

Would prefer a clothes washing machine in the apartment instead of a dishwasher which is unnecessary for the small amount of plates etc

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Pros:

Aussergewöhnlich freundliches Personal, familiäre Atmosphäre, im besten Sinne ein Traditionsbetrieb. Trotz unmittelbarer Lage neben dem Bahnhof erstaunlich ruhig.

Cons:

Wenn möglich sollte man bei Ankunft um ein Zimmer in der rechten Haushälfte bitten. Unseres lag über der Anlieferung, wodurch wir sehr früh geweckt wurden.

Ich hatte eine gute Zeit.
Pros:

Die Hotel-Crew war ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Stimmung war gut. Mir gefallen ältere Hotels besser als die gesichtslosen Glas/Beton-Bauten. Sie haben eine Seele.
Das Frühstück war hervorragend, die Auswahl gross und alles von guter Qualität.

Cons:

Das Zimmer hat mir nicht so gefallen. Gestört hat mich folgendes: die Kartonbecher, der Verkehrslärm, die Geruchsimissionen aus der Küche ab 7 Uhr früh.
Die Lage war für mich etwas problematisch, da ich etwas gehbehindert bin. Aber das war mein Problem.
