Excellent, well-located hotel.
Pros:

The Grand Hotel is at an excellent location opposite the railway station. The room was large and comfortable, the bar was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

Avoid, location okay if you can only walk 20 yards from the station otherwise, look elsewhere
Pros:

Staff pleasent and tried to be helpful but overall not great.

Cons:

Car park full so unable to park. Second option difficult to find and then had a barrier to prevent access which wasnt near the hotel and looked like a scrapyard rather than a car park. I was not going to leave my car in there vene if I could get in. Had to pay for parking which only went up to midmight so had to get up in the morning to go and pay again. Breakfast supplied...by another hotel 20 mins away! Bathroom was dirty, door didnt fit properly, noisy aircon outside room which went off every 2 minutes. I would say avoid this location.

Wir kommen nicht wieder
Pros:

Ok / in die Jahre gekommenes altes Hotel, aber mit Charme und sympathisch geführt.

Cons:

Fenster liessen sich praktisch nicht öffnen. Ganz schlecht war das Frühstück im „ Partner- Hotel“ Blanco‘s- hierfür erhielten wir Gutschein, da es im Grand Hotel kein Frühstück gab. Das Essen dort war wirklich schlecht- alles alle schon zum 9h, ausser weiterhin fettiger bacon und Würste. Kein jogurth/ nur Wassermelone/ auch auf Nachfrage nichts weiter.
