Pros:

Das Hotel hat eine super Lage.
Parkplätze sind vorhanden, müssen aber bezahlt werden. Aktuell 10 € pro Tag.
Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich, die Ausstattung ist super. Es gibt einen kleinen Kühlschrank und einen Ventilator. Ein Traum!

Cons:

Es gibt defekte Steckdosen im von mir gebuchten Zimmer.
Die Bettwäsche hatte leider einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch an sich. Es roch sauer, fast schon vergoren.
Aber sonst okay. Sind nur Kleinigkeiten. :)

Просто замечательно!
Pros:

Мне очень понравилось, что комнаты просторные, есть шкафы для одежды.
Я в первые видела трехместный номер с двумя комнатами. Я была просто в восторге от этого.душевая очень удобная, просторная, я получила массу удовольствия в своем номере с моими детьми.

Было очень удобно, чисто и уютно.
С удовольствием рекомендую всем.

Cons:

Das Hotel verdient eine ordentliche Renovierung. Alles sehr alt und wirkt nicht sauber. Auf den Bildern sah es besser aus. Telefon im Zimmer hat nicht funktioniert, TV musste, nach Anfrage ausgetauscht werden, usw..
Im ganzen Hotel ein unausstehlicher Geruch ( gewürze und bratöl wahrscheinlich), was anscheinend aus der Küche stammt... Man könnte es sogar im 6. Stockwerk bemerken.
