Pros:

Alles sehr unkompliziert. Sehr nettes Personal. Essen im Pub war gut, Pizza ist sehr zu empfehlen und Fleischgerichte. Das Zimmer war sauber. Ok für max. 2 Nächte, wenn man tagsüber unterwegs ist.

Cons:

Kein privater Parkplatz, wie bei Booking. com beschrieben. War jedoch ok, Es in der Nähe zu parkieren. Frühstück wenig Liebe zum Detail. Die warmen Frühstücksgerichte waren gut, jedoch Arbeiter-Portionen. Im Twin-Room waren die Betten kleiner als an anderen Orten. Für grosse Menschen nicht geeignet. Veggie-Gerichte nicht zu empfehlen, viel Sauce, wenig Gemüse. Preis eher hoch für den Standard.

Good value for money but wont return due to the noise.
Pros:

Very good value for money. Room was clean and food was good in bar. Breakfast was basic but well cooked. Serving staff were friendly.

Cons:

I was not made aware before booking or at the hotel that the noise levels of the music coming from the bar below would be high in the evening and went on until midnight. There was no reception area with dedicated reception staff.

Quite lively entertainment until 12pm (not actually a problem as such for me - was rather fun, just the singer wasn't great. 🤣).
