Pros:

Die Lage und das Frühstück sind ausgezeichnet, Das Personal war sehr freundlich, die Allgemeinen Räume sind sehr schön, aber auch laut

Cons:

Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Obwohl wir wussten, das es am Wochenende Musikveranstaltungen gibt, waren wir negativ betroffen über den starken Bass bis in den letzten Zimmerwinkel.
