Schönes Self-Chech-in Hotel an guter Lage, neu renovierte Zimmer und sehr bequeme Betten:
Pros:

Super Lage, tolles Self-Checkin Hotel mit neu renovierten Zimmern, sehr bequeme Betten. Frühstück und Parkplatz vorhanden, 7min vom Bahnhof, Restaurant im Hotel oder ganz in der Nähe. Preis-Leistung ist top!

Cons:

Kann ich nichts dazu sagen. Für uns passt es, wir kommen fast jede Woche und haben alles war wir brauchen.

A pleasant stay with a good breakfast - thank you
Pros:

Very clean and comfortable; staff lovely and though there is refurbishment/painting going the guests are not impacted by this. The workmen were quietly and respectfully working away…

Cons:

We underestimated the level of traffic that would pass by on the road, - this meant we slept with windows closed which we are not so keen on. Saying that, we did consciously choose the location so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Leider keine Entlüftung im Bad - zumindest nicht gefunden, äußerer Sonnenschutz fehlte an einem Fenster - DA Südspitze, war das Zimmer sehr warm ... vllt für den Sommer einen Ventilator ins Zimmer stellen

Cons:

Soweit alles schön

Pros:

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room was cleaned daily.

Cons:

There was no resupply of bottled water,
There was no refrigerator.
The bells of the nearby church rang on the hour, which woke us up. This was made louder when we had to open the window to cool down as there was no air conditioning
We did not meet any staff as check in and out was electronic, so we missed having personal contact in hospitality.

Hot room, no airflow, noisy, chirch bells, uncomfortable bed,
Pros:

The bathroom is new and very nice

Cons:

At first everything looks good. But there’s now airflow, hot in the room and no vents for the air to change. No Fan.
So without an AC you need to open the window. But then you here a dense traffic noice 15 meters away, loud chirch bells ringing until 12PM at least and all the insects come in. A combination of quaranteed sleepless nights.
We arrived in the evening and by 12 pm we already wanted to leave.
The floor was dusty.
No fridge available and I knew that, but at least a kettle would be nice. Small things that matter.
And why only one extra deco pillow if the room is for two persons? So now only one can have something between the wall and your back when you’re sitting on the bed since you don’t have anywhere else to sit.
On top of all the hotel was under renovation during stay. Luckily we had split the reservation into two and cancelled the second part.
Would not come again.
