Ich würde wiederkommen und das Hotel unter den positiven/negativen gen. Punkten weiterempfehlen.
Pros:

Die Lage war super. Nur wenige Minuten zu Fuß bis in die Altstadt bzw. den Ortskern. Ein wirklich nettes kleines Hotel zum Wohlfühlen.

Cons:

Ich hatte vorab danach gefragt ob tatsächlich - wie von einigen Gästen in den Bewertungen beschrieben ein Parkplatz zur Verfügung steht - vorab E-Mail-Antwort war nein da voll belegt aber öffentliches Parkhaus in der Nähe. Am Anreisetag selbst war dann doch was frei, das hätte man mir gerne per Mail nochmal schreiben können. In der ersten Nacht um 01:30 Uhr gab es im gesamten Hotel Feueralarm weil ein Gast in einem anderen Zimmer geduscht hat. Merkwürdig, dass so etwas vom duschen kommen kann und alle aus den Betten holt.das Hotel ist zudem nur bedingt barrierefrei: sehr enges Treppenhaus und Aufzug geht nur bis zum 3. OG von 4 OG.
