I could live there forever!!
Pros:

It was a very elegant hotel with a great location in a charming town. It was on the main street, but my room had a garden view that was very quiet and like being in a beautiful park.
My elegant room was spacious and very comfortable.

Cons:

I think the dining staff was new. I wasn’t approached or offered a menu at breakfast and I thought just the buffet was breakfast. I missed out!

Kaution
Pros:

Grosses Zimmer mit komfortablen Betten, umfangreiches leckeres Frühstück, ein schönes, elegantes Haus

Cons:

Wir mussten bei Ankunft eine Kaution für etwaige Schäden am Zimmer hinterlegen. Da das Hotel offensichtlich von ruhigen, gut situierten Gästen besucht wird, hat uns das sehr verwundert bzw uns sogar gekränkt.
Die Hotelrechnung wurde von uns im voraus bezahlt. Die Rückbuchung der Kaution dauerte 3 Tage.

Pros:

Food and service was excellent

Cons:

I had to adjust my booking due to flight cancellation but because this was within 4 days prior I couldn't adjust my say according (full payment) for days I wasn't there - it would have been nice to get a credit for some future stay - wasn't looking for money back - but something here would have been appropriate I think
