Super Blick mit schönem Zimmer
Pros:

Lage ist super, Bett war auch bequem und eine Zusatzcouch. Ausblick ist wirklich super und in den oberen Zimmern hat man vorne einen breiten gemeinsamen Balkon.

Cons:

almost nothing
Im Restaurant ist es mit Bestellung etwas langsam gewesen, aber alles in allem kein Problem. Wer etwas zu trinken möchte, muss dies rechtzeitig bei der Rezeption kaufen. Nachts ist sonst nichts verfügbar.
