Pros:

Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. God frukost. Gott om plats på rummet. Att de hade öl i receptionen som var extra god efter en lång dag med sightseeing.

Cons:

Väldigt varmt på rummet när vi kom dit, vi fick dock låna en bordsfläkt som gjorde det nåt bättre. På frukosten var det blandat hårdkokta och löskokta ägg så det var en liten chansning vad man fick.

Pros:

Unser Zimmer mit eigenem Bad und Dusche hatte Blick auf den See und die Betten waren sehr gut. Unsere Fahrräder konnten wir sicher im Konferenzraum unterbringen. Das Frühstück hat uns gefallen.

Cons:

Die Dusche wirkte provisorisch und ein Duschvorhang fehlte. Die Straße war auch nachts zu hören.

Gillar Svanen mycket och kommer tillbaka en gång per år
Pros:

Frukosten är femstjärnig, riktigt bra blandning av rätter och framförallt att man kan få en tallrik havregrynsgröt är lysande

Cons:

Sängen var inte bra då fjädrarna på en sidan var utslitna så det var nära att jag ramlade ner på golvet.
