Pros:

Wonderful style and location. Excellent dinner in the bistro. Easy parking behind.

Cons:

Room door had an old school skeleton key lock, so kind of a safety concern for the deadbolt. No matter, I left the key in it. The next am breakfast wasn't available until 9am, so I had to leave and miss it.

Everything I needed for a one night stay
Pros:

Great Customer service, I took a lovely coffee and cake up to my room from the restaurant

Cons:

The lights from the car park weren’t blocked by the window blind. The room and bathroom were very small but perfectly appointed. When I have been before the restaurant has had amazing sourdough bread but they seemed to be all out this time.

Tolles kleines Hotel, liebevoll eingerichtet und professionell geführt
Pros:

Sehr schöne, stimmig eingerichtete Räume, im Scandi-Still. Sehr sauber. Unser Zimmer war klein, hatte aber alles, was man braucht. Super Frühstück mit frischen Scones und guter Kaffee-Auswahl. Tolle Lage mitten am Stadtplatz, trotzdem ruhig.

Lovely boutique hotel. The word boutique is sometimes used when it clearly isn’t. Tasteful/comfortable. Food in accompanying restaurant lovely. Lovely atmosphere.

Very comfy and delicious breakfast included. Made up beds and shampoo/conditioner would equal a 10!
Pros:

Breakfast was delicious and large in size. The beds were comfy and the family room was a good size. Would book this again for 3-4 people.

Cons:

The shampoo bottle in the shower was empty. No conditioner supplied. I had packed light for flights expecting these products as standard. The bottles were very loose hanging in the shower.
The beds weren't made up on the first morning. The cleaner just asked what we needed e.g. towels, shampoo etc
