Pros:

Personal war sehr nett, die Lage war ausgezeichnet und das Zimmer sauber

Cons:

Die Zimmertür konnte man nicht komplett abschließend zumachen, sodass es ab und zu etwas lauter im Zimmer war. Das war aber nicht sonderlich schlimm.

The best possible location in a picture perfect and amazingly well decoratedand comfortable hotel
Pros:

The hotel is quaint, cozy, and beautiful. Staying in this extremely well preserved and so very tastefully decorated hotel, truly felt like living a fairytale story in a medieval village of Germany. We’ve traveled throughout Germany and several other countries over the past few months, and the stay in this wonderful village was our favorite. The restaurant is superb, the best evening meal ever, and breakfast was so quaint and personable. The room was picture perfect, comfortable, and cozy. So many extra touches to make our trip memorable and special. For example, finding the basket of supplies to create an ornament to add to the hotel Christmas tree. You’ve truly thought of everything to make your hotel the best!
