Ótima localização. Café da manhã com ótimos ingredientes.
Pros:

Localização perfeita. Café da manhã delicioso, simples, mas com ingredientes excelentes: baguete saborosa, geleias muito gostosas, croissants macios e crocantes, queijos divinos; enfim! Tudo que você precisa. Amamos. Ah, o estacionamento fica a curta caminhada do hotel, suas malas seguem a parte, você as recebe diretamente no seu quarto.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

Not worth 4 stars!!!!!
3 stars would be generous.
My room was in an adjacent building and not well lit. No USB charging facilities. Noise from outside. Bathroom dated. A small kettle with only 2 tea bags....rose tea only! 🙄.
A poor experience, obviously the location means they do not need to make any effort for the customer experience...

Gerne wieder
Pros:

Personal, Zimmer und Lage waren hervorragend; das Frühstück vielfältig und ausgezeichnet.
Der Transport des Gepäcks vom Parkplatz zum Hotel bzw. ins Zimmer hat tadellos und zuvorkommend funktioniert.

Cons:

Die Toilette hatte einen gewöhnungsbedürftigen Geruch. War wohl im Zusammenhang mit dem Wetter, denn am 2. Tag war der Geruch fast weg.
