Pros:

Tout, vraiment top. On comprend l'engouement lié à ce cadre assez hors normes, n'avons pas testé le repas du soir cependant le petit-déjeuner était d'une très bonne qualité. La banne planteur était l'une des meilleures jamais déjeunée.

Cons:

RaS peut-être le simple fait que les emplacements de parking sont peut-être un peu compliqués

sinon rien à dire

Ich werde dieses Hotel nicht mehr buchen
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Grundsätzlich ein gutes Hotel. Allerdings wurde ich während des Frühstückes um meine Reisekasse erleichtert exakt 300 Euro und 60 Dollar. Das habe ich leider zu spät bemerkt

Arnaque sur le prix de la chambre
Pros:

Ils m’ont facturé un prix plus élevé que celui sur booking. J’ai essayé de les contacter pour comprendre et corriger éventuellement mais aucune réponse. C’est la première fois sur tout mon séjour que l’on m’arnaque comme cela 🥲

Deixa a desejar
Pros:

Localização excelente

Cons:

Banheiro. Não tinha uma saída de água adequada no chuveiro, o que fazia a água acumular. Não bastasse, não esquentava direito.
Cama. Barulhenta e com roupa de cama com mau cheiro, principalmente a colcha que cobria. O colchão também não era muito confortável.
Barulho. O quarto era ao lado da recepção e não tem nenhum isolamento de ruído. Dava para ouvir tudo que conversavam.
