Vriendelijke service!
Pros:

De vriendelijke service en het ontzettend lekkere ontbijt.
Het is een leuk oud hotel met een pub erbij. Brengt gezelligheid

Cons:

De eerst nacht deed het warme water van onze douche het niet, maar de volgende ochtend werd dit heel goed opgelost door ons een andere kamer te geven.

Hotel mittelmässig - Essen super
Pros:

Eher eher altmodisches, aber trotzdem gemütliches Hotel!
Die Dusche war unmöglich. Schwierig in Bezug auf die Einstellung der Temperatur und der Duschkopf konnte nicht fixiert werden.
Das Essen war hervorragend.

Cons:

Die Zimmer waren sehr kalt und der vorhandene Heizkörper war nicht bedienbar - sehr kompliziert.
Die Preis-Leistung ist nicht stimmig.
