Pros:

Локация

Cons:

В ванной из косметички пропали несколько пар контактных линз. Подозреваем персонал, убирающий номера. Тем более, что ниже писали, из холодильника уже пропадали личные продукты постояльцев отеля.
К сожалению, обнаружили пропажу линз уже после выселения из отеля, претензии не предъявляли. Но осадок остался очень неприятный!

Super Hotel in toller Lage, bloß nicht mit dem Auto hinfahren
Pros:

Lage, Ausstattung, Food and Drink

Cons:

Vor dem Hotel war es nicht möglich zu parken oder auch nur zu halten, entgegen der Aussage des Hotels. Deswegen mussten wir ins nächste Parkhaus und das ganze Gepäck bis ins Hotel tragen.

A beautiful hotel let down by poor service and limited facilities for the price.
Pros:

Smart, beautifully decorated, and full of historic charm.

Cons:

The bar and lounge are small for a hotel of this size and price, with limited seating. The bar didn’t open until 4pm and food service in the lounge stopped at 5pm, leaving no light meal options outside the restaurant. Restaurant service was slow at both dinner and breakfast — I had to get up and find staff myself one morning. Housekeeping hadn’t made up either of our rooms by 4:15pm, and room service (a lasagne) arrived burnt on one side.

Pros:

I booked this room for my daughters, and I'm very upset because they left some flowers on their departure with the staff at reception and told him that their friend would be coming to collect in a few hours' time. When that friend came, he was very snarky with her, and he said that we didn't leave any flowers and he threw them away. Those flowers cost £70. The gentleman was a middle Eastern man with black hair. We don't know his name. The property itself and the lady receptionist were excellent.

Cons:

He also insisted on them paying a service charge, and when they didn't accept it, he was making faces.
