Great location but not worth the price
Pros:

Great location but definitely not worth the price!! The rooms were ok if you like showering in the room with no privacy and the toilet being in a small cupboard. As for the breakfast it is a continental breakfast with hardly any options and not worth €21. If you want cooked eggs on toast it is extra cost €13. Which we didn’t find out until we checked out as they never said! Service was also too slow we gave up!! Overall wouldn’t recommend!! Also don’t be fooled by the different name of rooms on Expedia and other websites I thought I had upgraded turns out it’s just got a different name and an increased price

Was asked to come back at 15:00 as I room will be ready for check in. Lobby full of people waiting to be checked in and needless to say, our room not ready.

Sincerely Purple
Pros:

A really genuine boutique hotel decked out in purple accents created a lovely environment. Great service during check-in, as I got there early and waited a bit for the room to be ready. I was given a delicious tea and spent time in the garden. A real spacious garden that is worth visiting to take in the beauty. The room was great, nothing like a warm bath to ease the aches from a long flight. An especially comfortable bed helped, too. 5 out of 5 for me. I’m already looking forward to another visit!

On the whole it was lovely.
Pros:

Very friendly staff, especially Silvia and Arty. The rooms were quite comfortable, and our views into the garden were lovely.

Cons:

We weren't expecting the bath, to be in the bedroom, and not a separate room, which was a little quirky.

Ravissant petit hôtel boutique soigné et bien placé

Magnifique petit hôtel boutique, les chambres sont petites mais très bien pensées, le lit immense et très confortable, on se sent dans le luxe sans en avoir le prix. Accueil chaleureux et attentionné, une magnifique vue sur le jardin, localisation perfecte, un vrai bonheur.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner n'avait rien d'extraordinaire, mais cela allait, sans prétention. Sinon, tout parfait.

Tolles Luxus-Hotel in bester Lage
Pros:

Super freundliches Personal, tolle Einrichtung, sehr bequemes Bett und einfach insgesamt toller Flair im Hotel.

Cons:

Bei Frühstück für 17 Euro pro Person wäre mehr Auswahl schon. Rührei oder Omelette kostet extra 9.50 Euro aufwärts und es ist nur ein Heißgetränk enthalten. Möchte man mehr muss auch hier Aufpreis bezahlt werden.

Gorgeous, sophisticated, friendly and beautiful boutique hotel.
Pros:

This hotel is a gem. It reminded me that traditional European hospitality is still alive and well (turn down service with homemade brownies!). Friendly staff, gorgeous building, beautiful decorations, fabulous location, delicious breakfast. It was magical.

Cons:

Honestly- it was kind of perfect.

Enjoyable stay!
Pros:

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, spacious room with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Luxury toiletries provided.

Cons:

Decor slightly dark for my taste, but I'm sure it would appeal to many!
The sound of the local church bells during the night, however I am a light sleeper.
