Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service; sehr schönes, sauberes, komfortables und modernes Zimmer mit viel Platz; sehr gutes, breites Bett; sehr gutes, modernes und sauberes Badezimmer!
Sehr gutes Frühstück: man konnte z.B. verschiedene Kaffeesorten bestellen, sich Eier nach Wahl zubereiten lassen, sich aus der Frühstückskarte spezielle Frühstücksteller vorbereiten lassen sowie sich am Buffet bedienen!
Sehr gutes Restaurant und schöne Bar!
Das Hotel hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und waren rundum zufrieden!

Nice hotel
Pros:

The staff is great and very helpful. The breakfast was really good; we could order cooked options from a menu, and the food was nicely prepared. The room is nice but needs a bit of love, everything felt a bit old and could use an update.

Cons:

The bathtub had hair in it, so we didn't use it. I also got a bit of an allergy after checking into the room. I guess that the curtains and carpet could use a good deep clean.
