Prima hotel voor doorreis
Pros:

Wij verbleven hier op onze doorreis. Vriendelijk personeel en een goed ontbijt. Het restaurant van het hotel serveert tevens een goed diner.

Cons:

Bedlinnen was niet erg schoon; er zaten bijzondere vlekken op. Dit gemeld bij een van de hotelmedewerkers, de feedback werd serieus genomen.

Angenehmes Hotel mit Abstrichen in unserem Zimmer.
Pros:

Netter Empfang. Helles, freundliches Hotel. Gutes Frühstück mit allem was man braucht. Sehr gutes Abendessen zu angemessenen Preisen.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer unter dem Dach. Es war eher klein und etwas dunkel. Das größte Problem war aber die Schiebetür ins Bad. Diese lässt sich, durch ihre Bauart, nicht ganz schließen. Dazu kommt, dass durch eine große Öffnung, zwischen den Dachbalken unter der Decke, Geräusche und Gerüche ins Schlafzimmer dringen.
