Friendly & welcoming. Especially being able to bring dogs. But a bit pricy the extra you have to pay
Pros:

Great location. Comfy rooms & bed

Cons:

Breakfast could have more & better selection of fruit, also bread & cereals.
Waiting too long to be served the warm Breakfast. Coffee could improve.

Preis- Leistung stimmte für uns leider nicht! Zu teuer :-(
Pros:

Lage, Hotel war generell sehr schön (unser Zimmer leider nicht so)

Cons:

Unser Zimmer (roch muffelig, Fenster ließen sich mit einem Mini- Spalt öffnen und es roch nah Schimmel, da sich der Lüfter im Fensterlosen Bad defekt war). Zimmer war laut, da zur Straße raus. Außerdem war es für Rollstuhlfahrer eingerichtet und daher leider für 1,89cm große Menschen alles sehr niedrig (Waschbecken). Zimmer konnte nicht gewechselt werden, da ausgebucht über die Osterfeiertage. Frühstück war auch total überlastet/ überfordert. Wir würden hier wohl nicht nochmal buchen.
