Pros:

Het restaurant.

Cons:

Een hele kleine kamer. Toen we binnen kwamen rook het niet fris en was het erg benauwd. Dakraam opengezet en toen ging het beter. Sfeerloos behalve de oude muur.

Tolles Hotel mit überragendem Restaurant

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Hotel in Autobahnnähe. Perfekt für die Durchreise, saubere und moderne Zimmer und Bad mit Klima. Genügend Parkplätze direkt am Hotel. Wir waren mit einem kleinen Hund unterwegs, er durfte überall mit hin. Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Essen im Restaurant war hervorragend. Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr gut und ausreichend. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Cons:

Alles war perfekt für uns.
