Schöner wäre es mit Rezeption Besetzung gewesen. Ansonsten hat es gepasst.
Pros:

Frühstück war gut
Lage etwas außerhalb

Cons:

Die Lage
In einem der Zimmer war die Zimmer Tür defekt, die Karte ging nicht. Sie musste ein neues Zimmer beziehen nachdem der Notdienst gegen 23 Uhr eintraf. Es sollte evtl doch jemand vor Ort sein, falls etwas nicht funktioniert.

Geweldig
Pros:

De locatie was uitstekend, wij zaten zo weer op de grote weg naar onze bestemming.
Ook het ontbijt was eenvoudig maar goed verzorgd.
De bedden sliepen héérlijk en alles was schoon, er was geen verkoeling op de kamer helaas...(airco)

Cons:

Er was geen dinner mogelijkheid in het restaurant.
Wij hadden 666 km achter de rug en kwamen 18.55 aan en wilden nog graag dineren.
30 meter verderop konden wij dineren bij "Bollies" de keuze was echter karig en ook de serveerster was niet zo vrolijk..

We booked ground floor rooms, but they put us on 2nd and 3rd floor. Not a problem as now apparently the rooms upstairs are also renovated.

Great value for money in a super quiet yet well located area.
Pros:

The property is in a quiet area, but still really well connected to the main tourist cities. Bamberg, Nuremberg and Würzburg are easy to reach by car or public transport. We took the train to these places, and the station was only about an 18-minute walk away, or a short bus ride from the property.

We booked two rooms, and both were recently renovated, really nice, comfortable and quiet.

Cons:

I know we’re already in May, but it was really cold outside during our stay, and we couldn’t figure out how to turn on the heater at night, not sure if there was a way. As there’s no one at reception overnight, we didn’t bother asking, so the room was a little chilly.

Makkelijke incheck op doorreis naar huis.
Pros:

Late check in super geregeld via systeem aan de buitenkant van het hotel.

Cons:

Dat bij het boeken om 20.45 uur niet duidelijk was dat je voor 20.00 uur contact moest hebben met hotel voor incheck code. Gelukkig werd dit keurig opgelost door het hotel die na het sturen van een mail toch nog na 20.00 uur reageerde.
