Super Lage, kleine Zimmer, besser ohne Frühstück
Pros:

Super Lage. Für 4 Personen schon echt kleine Zimmer.

Cons:

Frühstück! Hier sollte man sich überlegen ob man es mit bucht. Es gibt nur eine Bestellung pro Person, nicht mehr. Ein Getränk und wir haben so lange gewartet!

Decent.

Staff very friendly. Comfy bed.
