Sehr gutes Frühstück.
Pros:

Frühstücksauswahl sehr gut.

Cons:

Wenn man zu spät kommt, wird es nichts mit kostenlosem Parken. Dann bleibt nur die Tiefgarage, welche Geld kostet.

Great place for overnight stops on the way south
Pros:

We’ve been using this hotel for many years for overnights on our way to Italy. It never disappoints. The beds are excellent, the airco works, staff are friendly and helpful, the restaurant is good, though closed on Monday and Tuesday. The villa bistro next door is top quality, albeit a little pricey. Both have really nice garden terraces. What’s not to like?

Ładny hotel ale żeby płacić za herbatę to jest słabe
Pros:

Piękny budynek położony w pięknym miejscu blisko parku i niedaleko do centrum,pokój przestronny .W pokoju były dwie butelki wody ale brak czajnika . Wystrój nowoczesny ale o gustach się nie dyskutuje

Cons:

Nie było czajnika ,ekspresu do kawy w pokoju a za herbatkę o którą można było poprosić w recepcji trzeba było zapłacić 3 euro !!! Dla gości hotelowych ,przepraszam ale uważam to za skandal !!!

Schickes modernes Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Reichhaltiges Frühstück, Zimmer mit Klimanlage, Parkplätze vor dem Hotel oder auch alternativ Tiefgarage.

Cons:

WLAN sehr schwach, war nicht möglich dies zu nutzen, lag eventuell an der Lage des Zimmers?
