Gerne wieder!
Pros:

Perfekte zentrale Lage.
Am Frühstücksbuffet wurde super zuvorkommend auf meine Allergie eingegangen.
Das Zimmer war riesig, mit der perfekten Temperatur beheizt (Januar), und hatte alles, was ich brauchte.

Unorganised and dirty
Pros:

Central location, comfortable room

Cons:

The evening before our arrival we were contacted by the hotel to confirm the time of arrival. I informed them that we would arrive late and was given instructions on how to do self-checkin. They also gave me instructions on how to reach the parking, however they didn’t mention that the main street is closed at this time due to some local festival. As a matter of fact we were not able to approach the parking by car and had to park (and pay) at a nearby parking lot. The room was decent, however they had probably forgotten to clean it, as there were crumbles and dust all over the floor and on the bed sheets. The next morning there was total confusion in terms of what needed to be paid. We were first told that breakfast was included in our rate for 2 people. A moment later we were told that breakfast was not included and we’d have to pay for it, as well as for the parking (which we were not able to approach due to the road closure). Kindly enough they only charged us half the parking fee, however the fact that we had to drive around the town straight upon arrival, trying to find where on earth to park the car already made up for a rather bad experience which coukd have been avoided if only they would have told us in advance that there is no possibility to park at the hotel till a certain time. Biggest issue was the dirty room. A vaccuum cleaner costs 100€ guys - Go get one!
