Hotel, Zimmer, Lage TOP. Frühstück MENSA
Pros:

Die Lage war TOP. Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig und Bahn auch fußläufig. Das Hotel war sehr schön und das Zimmer inklusive Küche sauber, wie neu. Das Personal freundlich. Obst gab es an der Rezeption für den Hunger zwischendurch.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ähnlich einer Mensa an einer mittelmäßigen Uni. Zu Stoßzeiten lange Warteschlangen am relativ kleinen Buffet, bei sehr großem Hotel.
Brot etc. muss getoastet werden, bei 2 Toastern mit jew. 4....bei gefühlt 100 Gästen, verzichtet man sogar vielleicht auf das Essen. Sitzplätze für das Frühstück in Stoßzeiten, wenn Plätze vorhanden, dann mit mindestens 4 fremden Personen an einem Tisch. Hier Vorteil, man lernt neue Leute kennen.
