ging für eine Nacht, würde aber ein leiseres und dunkleres Hotel buchen nächstes Mal
Pros:

sehr nettes Personal, nettes kleines Hotel, nettes Frühstücksbuffet, aber keine wahnsinnige Auswahl

Cons:

es war sehr laut im Zimmer, bis nachts um 1 Uhr hört man Geschirrklappern und Gläserklirren vom Restaurant unten im Haus, das durch das Treppenhaus hoch hallt..... es war auch sehr hell, da das Fenster im Schlafzimmer zum Innenhof geht und dort die ganze Nacht helle Lampen leuchten (der Vorhang bringt keine wirkliche Verdunklung). Zudem sind alle Lichtschalter im Zimmer mit LEDs beleuchtet - mir persönlich zu hell alles miteinander. Steckdose im Bad war kaputt und hing halb aus der Wand.
