Pros:

Frühstück war einfach und gut. Zentrale Lage. Sehr freundliche Rezeption mit guten Tipps.

Cons:

Frühstück war einfach und gut, allerdings musste man für Spiegeleier €6 extra bezahlen. Fand ich bei dem Preis des Hotels und Frühstücks eigentlich nicht ok.

Holzbett hat sehr stark geknarrt wenn man sich bewegt hat. War sehr störend.
Den hellen Strahler der die Fassade beleuchtet hat konnte nicht einmal die Rollo und der Vorhang abdunkeln. War relativ hell im Zimmer. Schlage vor ihn in der Nacht abzuschalten.

Unaufdringlicher Komfort in sehr gepflegtem Ambiente.

Sehr sauberes, funktional und stillbewusst eingerichtetes Hotel mit extrem freundlichen Personal. Auch im Hochsommer ist das Raumklima dank intelligenter Klimatechnik sehr angenehm.

Pros:

Lage is sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Frühstück könnte besser sein. Das Rührei war nicht gut, und frischer Saft wäre eine große Verbesserung.

Katastrophales Zinmer , extrem schlechtes Preis/Lwistungsverhältnis aber tolles Personal
Pros:

Tolles Personal

Cons:

Das Zimmer war eine Katastrophe! Extrem klein . So dass es mit den Koffern bereits voll war und man konnte nicht mal aufrecht stehen sondern nur gebeugt.
