Une nuit avant le départ.
Pros:

Cela convenait bien pour passer une nuit avant notre départ. La literie est confortable. Il y a une salle de jeux.

Cons:

Assez éloigné du centre mais possibilité tout de même de s’y rendre à pied. Assez vétuste.

Pros:

Lage war oke und der Checkin verlief ohne Probleme. Wir waren zu früh da, hätten dann für einen Mehrpreis einchecken können was wir aber nicht taten.
Parkieren war gratis.

Cons:

Ganzes Hotel ist etwas heruntergekemmen und alt. Das Wasser in der Dusche stinkt fürchterlich - wird irgend so Quellwasser mit Schwefel oder Amonjak sein, auf jeden Fall schmeckt es sehr nach faulen Eiern.
Dazu hat es nur einen Dueschvorhang, das ist etwas eklig wenn der an die Haut kommt während dem Duschen. Die Betten sind sehr schmal.

Insgesamt eher schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

It met our needs very well.
Pros:

Breakfast was very nice. Boys enjoyed the ping pong table. The coffee and cake in the afternoon was a nice pick me up after a long day of exploring.

Cons:

Some staff weren't as knowledgeable as I would have liked, and you had to ask for all information, if you didn't know to ask, you wouldn't find out about things. It was hard to figure out all the options for transportation/activities/etc.
