Det var et hyggeligt lille hotel med en fantastisk atmosfære. som man kun finder på de helt små hoteller.
Lækkert veltillavet mad.

Cons:

Booking burde ændre sin beskrivelse af parkering fra at der er parkering til at parkering er en offentlig betalings parkeringsplads med 24 timers parkering. I 5 - 10 min gå afstand.

Un sejur fermecator !
Pros:

O cladire istorica, fermecatoare, situata in centrul istoric. Miriam, foarte amabila si la cina, si la micul dejun, si la receptie ! Micul dejun ok. La primul etaj un minibar binevenit cu autoservire. Amplasare foarte buna in centrul istoric. Restaurantul pentru cina foarte bun si apreciat. Parcarea publica recomandata este la vreo 10 minute de mers pe jos, in afara portilor cetatii, dar poti opri masina la pensiune pentru a descarca bagajele.

Cons:

Un miros puternic de la bucatarie urca la camere. Norocul nostru a fost ca am avut aceasta problema o singura seara, deoarece restaurantul e inchis luni si marti. Podeaua camerei e inclinata catre toaleta. Dar, toate astea nu sunt foarte deranjante, fac parte din farmecul unei cladiri istorice construite acum peste 500 de ani !

Jederzeit wieder!
Pros:

Sehr urig, einfache Ausstattung, aber alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Das Frühstück für 10,00 Euro war topp. Sehr viele frische Sachen im Angebot.

Cons:

Eigentlich war alles gut. Da es sehr heiß war, waren auch die Zimmer sehr aufgeladen. Ein Ventilator bringt da nicht ganz so viel.

Pros:

Das Zimmer war klein, sauber und gemütlich, allerdings mit 2 Stufen im Zimmer.
Essen im Haus ist sehr zu empfehlen ..

Cons:

Ein Fliegengitter wäre am Fenster angebracht.
Parken nur außerhalb der Altstadt möglich , zum be- und entladen, kann man sich kurz vor das Haus stellen.
