Pros:

nice location, not far from supermarket and the train station. Breakfast was nice. view and scenary

Cons:

slightly rude staff when I check-in, yet I guess it is just a language barrier. Not that offensive, but surprised. Other staffs were nice though. a slight noise from car outside.

Gutes sauberes Hotel was man weiterempfehlen kann.
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal
Sehr sauber
Tolles Frühstück

Cons:

Fehlende Klimaanlage.
Fenster offen zu halten wenn es zu warm ist, eher schwierig da die Hauptstraße und Busbahnhof sich direkt vor dem Hotel befindet.

Für eine Nacht okay.
Pros:

Sehr zentral gelegen.

Cons:

Die Zimmer haben eher den Charakter einer Jugendherberge. Sehr trist eingerichtet, keine Annehmlichkeiten wie bspw. Klimaanlage vorhanden (bei 120€ pro Nacht...)
