Cons:

The family room was tiny, very hard to move around with 2 adults one teenager.
We stayed for one night over the weekend and it was very noisy with nightlife up to 4am.

Pros:

Schönes altes Gebäude und tolles Restaurant.

Cons:

Die Zimmer entsprechen nicht den sehr gut gemachten Fotos. Es kommt kaum Wasser aus dem Duschkopf. Es ist bis in die Nacht sehr laut gewesen.

Disappointed that what I was expecting was not available until I complained
Pros:

Staff very helpful

Cons:

Booked the larger space room (Superior) at the higher cost ended up in what I would suggest was a basic room. I questioned this with reception and they moved me to a Superior room, but only because they had availability. I would suggest that if you book via Booking.com that they put you in the smaller rooms and hope you don’t notice. May not be the case but didn’t feel that I was a valued customer.
