Super 🤩🥰😊
Pros:

Das Personal ist großartig und sehr freundlich!!! Die Lage ist ideal!!! Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmt. Ich kann dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen und werde definitiv wiederkommen. Vielen Dank für den gebotenen Komfort!!!

Cons:

In meinem Zimmer 114 ließ sich das Fenster nicht öffnen, und mir fehlte frische Luft. Vielleicht habe ich aber auch einfach nicht herausgefunden, wie man es öffnet. 🫣
