Nice easy location to attractions . Lovely view . Over priced for what the room was like
Pros:

Lovely in reception. Lovely view from the room . Had everything you needed for one night stay .

Cons:

The hairdryer was so bad. The plastic tube nearly burnt my hand as there was no option to turn the heat down . The bedroom phone was not working either so couldn’t ask for more comfortable pillows. My fish was also over cooked so wouldn’t like to eat there again .

Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nicht
Pros:

Das Hotel hat einen eigenen kostenlosen Parkplatz. Die Eingangshalle ist toll.

Cons:

Das war das teuerste Hotel unserer Rundreise und unser Zimmer hatte die schmälsten Betten und das kleinste Badezimmer der ganzen Reise. Im Bad waren an der Heizung freie Drähte. Das Personal war nicht unfreundlich, aber auch nicht sehr bemüht. Ohne Anfrage wurde uns keine Hilfe mit den schweren Koffern ( 12 Stufen zum Eingang) angeboten. Der Kaffee und Tee wurde aus Thermoskannen ausgeschenkt. Trotzdem war mein Tee lauwarm. Nachgeschenkt wurde nur nach. Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht!
