Pros:

Das Hotel ist klein und fein. Komfortable Betten, leckeres Frühstück und auch das Abendessen a la carte war sehr lecker. Gemütliche Atmosphäre im Restaurant und sehr freundliche und aufmerksame Mitarbeiter. Sogar nach Feierabend noch ein Getränk bekommen. Frühstück klein aber absolut alles da, was man sich wünscht.

Cons:

In unserem Zimmer war das Bad sehr sehr klein weil es in eine Dachschräge gebaut wurde. Auch ist das Bad in die Jahre gekommen und sollte mal überholt werden.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

This is my 3rd stay in this hotel. I love the location beside the river and the history of the building, it used to be a functioning ice house. The staff are friendly and were able to provide me with uk pillows on request. I will be staying here again.

Generelt ok til prisen
Pros:

Hyggeligt med gamle effekter og fotos fra stedets oprindelig historie

Cons:

Badeværelse var meget lille. På grund af personalets ferie var restaurant ikke åben om aftenen, ikke engang til en kop kaffe. Der var dog restaurant tæt ved i nabolaget.
