fantastic stay, thoroughly enjoyed and would stay again
Pros:

The room was very spacious, all the staff were very friendly, the food was very good and good value for money, good location even just for a walk along the street to visit the shops in town

Cons:

very minor things like the fan in the bathroom was really noisy, we didn't have a view from our room as it looked over a flat roof but this wasn't an issue for us

Pros:

Nicht viel. Bett und ein Dach überm Kopf, sonst nichts herausragend

Cons:

Putzen fällt im Bad von der Wand. Klodeckel ist nicht festgeschraubt. Nachbarn sind gut zu hören. Bett total durchgelegen.
Frühstück war richtig schlecht. Eier nicht durch. Veggiewurst vom letzten Jahr, furztrocken. Selbst der Kaffee war eine wässrige Plörre...Empfehle den Supermarkt um die Ecke.
Standard von 1980 , dring renovierungsbedürftig. Preis Leistung nicht stimmig wie im Rest des Ganzen Landes
