Say hello to the Turtles!
Pros:

The room was spacious with a lovely balcony and a good sized bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the pillows too which is not always the case! The turtles and the fish ponds were a lovely distraction for the children. The breakfast was good with lots of different choices. The night staff was superb and also the morning one. We will definitely be back

Cons:

Nothing.

Da habe ich nichts zu meckern.

Die Altstadt von Ettlingen ist zu Fuß entlang der Alb schnell zu erreichen.
Das Frühstück ist sehr umfangreich und abwechslungsreich. Auf den Außenparkplätzen kann gut mit einem Fahrradträger geparkt werden.
