Pros:

Le dimensioni della camera/cucina erano grandi
,pulite anche il bagno era ben organizzato.

Cons:

La cucina era grande e con molti mobili ma vuoti magari mettere qualche accessorio in piu ,tipo colino per pasta sarebbe stato utile.
L'orario del checkin poco flessibile,l'accesso è dalle 16 in poi se dovesse servire un ingresso anticipato non è possibile.
Il fatto che la stanza abbia grandi vetrate e' bello ma purtroppo danno su una strada, non è paesaggisticamente positivo e forse anche un po rumoroso.Non sono problemi importanti nel complesso siamo stati bene.

Werde Wohl beim nächsten Mal weiterfahren bis Reykjavik!
Pros:

Ausreichend Platz im Zimmer und Bad.
Parken direkt vor dem Zimmer.

Cons:

Es fehlte einfach etwas Liebe zum Detail, z.B. Gutes Duschschampoo oder Kosmetiktücher.

Preis nicht gerechtfertigt. Unsaubere Küche
Pros:

Matratzen gut. Lage gut. Ruhig.

Cons:

Verdreckter Backofen und Mikrowelle. Ekelig. Noch das Öl vom Vormieter auf dem Blech. Das geht absolut gar nicht !
Küche mäßig ausgestattet.

Insgesamt auch nicht sehr sauber.

Preis Leistung ungenügend. Nicht gerechtfertigt.
