中世ドイツの雰囲気を味わうことができました
Pros:

街の中心にあったロケーションは最高、ドイツの旧市街の雰囲気を堪能することができました。施設もたいへんよく手入れされていて、清潔で気持ちよく過ごすことができました。家族経営のホテルで、オーナー一家もとても良いお人柄で親切に対応してくれました。朝食がたいへん充実していて、とても美味しかったです。

Cons:

旧市街の建物なので部屋がやや狭く、また空調がないことが暑い夏では少し不便でした。ただ、城内旧市街で夜を過ごすことができた体験はとても良かったです。

Zur Sonne mitten in der Altstadt, trotzdem angenehm ruhig
Pros:

Zweckmäßige, trotzdem gemütliche Zimmer in einem hübschen, herrlich klimatisierten Hotel in bester Altstadtlage.
Die eigene Klimaanlage im Zimmer tat sehr gut und war schön leise.
Das Personal ist sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück ist lecker und umfangreich, mit kleinen Köstlichkeiten.

Cons:

Leider empfanden wir die Matratzen als zu hart und sind mit Rückenschmerzen aufgewacht, aber das sind persönliche Empfindlichkeiten.

Pros:

Sehr schön ausgestattetes Zimmer, unaufdringliche Klimaanlage! Sehr schöne Einrichtung des gesamten Hotels, angenehme Atmosphäre, freundliches Personal. Die zentrale Lage ist fantastisch.

Cons:

Die Matratze war etwas zu weich. Was man wissen sollte: Die Zimmer sind nur über eine recht steile Treppe erreichbar.

Pros:

The location is good, the staff is really kind

Cons:

Car parking and finding the hotel is a bit difficult, but understandable. The central location creates extra noises, but this is the price of beeing central

Et perfekt sted for en dag eller to i denne smukke by. De sødste værter på hotellet.
Pros:

Alt godt - centralt beliggende hotel med familiær atmosfære. Mulighed for at parkere bilen aflåst, god morgenmad og mega godt personale. Virkelig godt sted for stopover mod syd eller nord.

Cons:

Havde været godt med mulighed for at lade i den aflåste garage - det havde været perfekt for de som bruger hotellet som stopover.

Netter Kurzaufenthalt, jederzeit wieder.
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut, man ist gleich am Marktplatz. Zimmer sehr ansprechend und ruhig. Frühstück wurde als Buffet angeboten. Alles vorhanden.
Bekamen zur Abfahrt pro Person gratis eine kleine Flasche Wasser, mit auf den Heimweg.
Sehr nettes Personal.

Cons:

Duschkopf tröpfelte nur, dafür kam von der Handbrause die volle Wucht.
