A charming hotel & restaurant in an oasis of a location.
Pros:

What a beautiful oasis of a location! Just 12 minutes’ walk from the train station, or only a couple of minutes by bus #4, which leaves right from the station, drops you off practically at the front door of the hotel, and runs often. The small hotel itself is so charming and gemütlich - you walk down a long path covered by a grapevine arbor to the entrance, where you’re greeted immediately. The gardens on the property are not only beautiful, they are functional! Fresh flowers decorate every table in the dining room and every floor of the hotel, and meals are completed with fresh fruits and vegetables picked right outside the door. Wanda was a wonderful host, and she and her kitchen staff put together some unforgettable meals. I hope you have a chance to try the quail with fresh plums, the handmade pasta, or the freshly churned ice cream. Be sure to ask for a room with a view - it was stunning! We didn’t have a chance to use the pool but other guests really enjoyed. Comfortable beds, spotless rooms, and a warm atmosphere made this place truly unglaublich!! Thank you, Wanda.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like.

Pros:

Schönes, kleines Hotel, liegt sehr ruhig und grün, obwohl mitten in der Stadt. Auf angenehme Weise altmodisch. Sehr schöner Garten mit relativ großem Pool.
Ausgezeichnetes Abendessen, mit erstklassigen Weinen, von der Chefin kundig vorgeschlagen. Insgesamt eine überraschende, sehr angenehme Erfahrung.

Cons:

Nichts.

Pros:

Serene rust. Kamers zijn basic, veel wit, maar bed is goed en badkamer ook. Personeel is vriendelijk. Zit dicht bij het station maar toch midden in de rust. Eten is perfect, vooral de zelfgemaakte ijs. In de tuin kan je lekker ontspannen en kamers zijn geluidsdicht, had het gevoel alleen te zijn in het hotel.

Cons:

Handig om te weten dat er op zondag geen diner is. Als je voor de ingang staat dan zit links een trap omhoog en daar kan je als gast naar binnen met je sleutel. Er zitten wel veel muggen in de omgeving dus raam dicht houden en buiten muggenspray gebruiken.
