Pros:

A charming, well-preserved hotel that feels like stepping back in time. The interior is authentic and full of character. Werner was very helpful with ideas on what to see in the area and clearly cares about the town. Good food, clean rooms and I had a very pleasant stay.

atypique et chaleureux
Pros:

l'ambiance kitch, hotel "figé dans le temps", ce qui en révèle tout son charme
le couple d'hotes est excellent, très à l'écoute, et très avenant
pas de chauffage dans les chambres (0 dehors), mais avec les couvertures, c'était parfait pour dormir
nous reviendrons

Cons:
