Schlechtes Wlan und Dusche…
Pros:

Die Lage und der Pub unten im Hotel

Cons:

Die Dusche war unterirdisch, also das als „Wasserstrahl“ zu bezeichnen war ein Witz…. Da hätte ich mir auch ne Gießkanne holen können und die hätte mehr Druck gehabt. Auch das Wasserhahn system der Dusche absolut veraltet, da es zwei verschiedene Hähne gab.
Plus das Wlan war sehr schlecht.
Echt Schade das Hotel hätte Potenzial

Small, clean rooms in central location.
Pros:

Location, location, location. Friendly staff at reception. Good parking facilities (although we may have been a bit lucky).

Cons:

One of the rooms did not have electricity. Reception was closed when we noticed & "emergency" number could not help.
Bathrooms were outdated and could do with a refurb. (Shower was good though.)
