VERSCHRIKKELIJK NIET DOEN
Pros:

Niks

Cons:

Alles maar dan ook alles komt op plaats van bestemming na boeking is trouwens erg afgelegen in een stille wijk is het gesloten maandag en dinsdag 2 keer gebeld neemt niet ander hotel geboekt dit was op 16.00 uur om 20.00 uur stuurt ze email dat de sleutel klaar ligt!!! Wat is dit
Volgende dag verzoekt ze me langs te komen en als ik niet kom moet ik gewoon betalen ik zei ik kom niet waarna ze zei je bent niet eens hier geweest! Verklaard ze me ook nog voor leugenaar
Ik vertelde haar mijn kamer te annuleren en dat wilde ze niet uiteindelijk met booking in orde gekomen nadat ik kon laten zien dat ze loog
Heel apart boeking aannemen op rustdag mensen ga hier Niet heen.
Wat ik zei is ongezellige buurt en afgelegen NIET DOEN

Pros:

コンパクトで清潔な宿です。
床も傾いています。これは良い点です。
中世からの歴史ある古い建物ですから、その歴史を楽しめば良いと思います。
内部の装飾もとても可愛くしてあり、良かったです。
朝食は、ドイツの他の宿よりも充実しているのに、値段が安いです。
レストランの料理も美味しいので、ぜひ夕食も食べてみてください。
ただし、レストランはかなり人気なので、チェックインの時に、席を予約するのがおすすめです。

Cons:

部屋に冷蔵庫がないのはやはり夏にはつらいです。
ロビーにミニバー的なワインとビールの冷蔵庫はありますが、宿泊客が自分のものは入れられません。

Schöner Kurzurlaub-wir kommen wieder
Pros:

Besonders gefallen hat uns die Gastfreundlichkeit und die zentrale Lage. Auch fanden wir die Platzreservierung für das Abendessen sehr angenehm und entgegenkommend. Das Abendessen war stets das Highligh des Tages. Die Gaststätte mit ihrem rustikalen Charme intigriert sich hervorragend in die Altstadt. Das Essen war einfach ein Genuss, als Tip kann ich das Rib Eye besten empfehlen aber auch die anderen Gerichte sahen super aus. Also auch die Gaststätte ist ein kleiner Tip um ein gutes Essen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre zu genießen. Platzreservierung ist von Vorteil da viele andere Besucher das gute Essen schätzen. Bitte nicht ungeduldig werden wenn es mal etwas länger dauern sollte, dass Personal gibt sein bestes das konnten wir jeden Abend beobachten.

Cons:

Es gab nichts zu bemängeln.

Pros:

Det var et hyggeligt lille hotel med en fantastisk atmosfære. som man kun finder på de helt små hoteller.
Lækkert veltillavet mad.

Cons:

Booking burde ændre sin beskrivelse af parkering fra at der er parkering til at parkering er en offentlig betalings parkeringsplads med 24 timers parkering. I 5 - 10 min gå afstand.
