Fui muy feliz en mi estadía. Lo recomiendo sin dudas a quien busque un lugar con trato humano y cercano.
Pros:

En el Hotel Sonne la gente es muy buena y atenta. Es una hermosa familia la que trabaja ahí y se nota en cada detalle: me ayudaron con las valijas y siempre estuvieron pendientes de que estuviera cómoda. El desayuno sin gluten fue estupendo, algo que se agradece muchísimo cuando uno viaja con esa necesidad.

Pros:

Perfect location, in the middle of the most beautiful town on the Romantic Road. Do not miss out!
Excellent staff
Amazing breakfast spread
Helped us park the vehicle - tight streets, lucky we arrived late and left early so streets weren't busy with people!

Cons:

We wanted A/C and understand it's challenging to find
Promoted A/C but that's only in the common areas, not the bedrooms

Gemütliches Hotel in bester Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt in perfekter Lage. Das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Frühstück ist reichlich, geschmacklich lecker und vielseitig. Ich empfehle den hoteleigenen Parkplatz zu buchen. Dieser ist in 5 Minuten zu erreichen.

Cons:

Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass nahezu alle Restaurants um 2200 Uhr schließen (Oktober) wäre e sehr schön, wenn die Hotelbar für den berühmten "Absacker" länger als 2100 Uhr geöffnet hätte. Wahrscheinlich fehlt es wie in ganz Deutschland an Personal.

Lovely
Pros:

The hotel is very well located, in the heart of the city's historic center, and most importantly, it has a parking space, even though it's charged separately. The breakfast is fabulous.
