Star Hotel Klas Otel
Pros:

Otelin konumu çok iyiydi. Tren istasyonunun hemen karşısındaydı. Oda konforlu ve temizdi. Kahvaltı çok güzeldi. Kesinlikle tekrar kalmayı düşünebileceğim bir otel

Cons:

Böyle güzel bir otelin mini barındaki soft içeceklerin ücretsiz olması gerekir. 2-3 euronun hesabı yapılmamalı

Top Lage! Top Service! Top Frühstück!
Pros:

Ich bin mittlerweile regelmässig zu Gast in diesem Hotel und jedes mal fühle ich mich super aufgehoben. Sehr freundliches Personal, super sauber, exzellentes Frühstück mit allem was das Herz begehrt. Die Position ist wirklich perfekt, von hier aus ist man gemütlich in wenigen Minuten in der Altstadt mit allen Sehenswürdigkeiten und top Restaurants, zeitgleich ist man über den gegenüberliegenden Bahnhof in <15 Min. am Flughafen und z.B. in 1 Stunde mit dem Zug in Mailand, Florenz oder Venedig. Trotz der Lage sind die Zimmer ruhig. Die Ausstattung ist ausserdem sehr hochwertig und alles wirkt wirklich luxuriös. Immer wieder gerne! Sogar das hauseigene Restaurant ist sehr gut und hat mich sehr positiv beeindruckt.

Cons:

Nichts zu melden.
