Pros:

I had a wonderful stay here. The place was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made it easy to relax after a long day out. The rooms were tidy and the overall atmosphere was calm and welcoming.

What truly made the experience stand out was the staff. They were friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. They went out of their way to organise tours and activities, making everything simple and stress-free. Their local knowledge was very helpful and ensured I made the most of my time in the area.

Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay with excellent service. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, welcoming accommodation with helpful staff who genuinely care about their guests. 🌿

Cons:

The last day when I leave early, I asked to give me takeaway breakfast. The person mentioned that he will give me bread and omlet as takeaway. But when I open the box, there was no omlet. Bread with Jam only. Very poor work. Why didnt he give me a quality meal.

Viel Potential..
Pros:

Das Bett war bequem, Wasserspender und Wasserkocher waren in der Küche vorhanden. Das Hotel schaut sehr wohnlich aus und hätte viel Potential aber leider..

Cons:

lässt die Sauberkeit (vor allem im Badezimmer) sehr zu wünschen übrig. Der Boden wurde schon lange nicht mehr gewischt, unsere Socken waren nach kürzester Zeit schwarz an den Sohlen.
Die Kommunikation mit dem Personal war sehr schwierig. Wir fragten an der Rezeption nach einem Transport zum Bahnhof für den nächsten Morgen, der wurde uns auch zugesichert. Ein paar Stunden später wurde uns auf erneute Nachfrage plötzlich gesagt, dass wir uns selbst um den Transport kümmern müssten.
Generell wirkte das Personal sehr unmotiviert, obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste vor Ort waren.

Cons:

You may hear a bit of noise from the close railway station but it did not effect our sleep at all.

Bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Bouilloire et tout ce qu'il faut pour se faire un café à disposition dans la chambre ainsi que bouteille d'eau. Climatisation. Hôtel bien desservi.

Cons:

La proximité de la gare qui génère un peu de bruit la nuit, mais cela ne m'a pas empêché de dormir.
