Struttura carina, accogliente. Il ragazzo che ci ha ospitato è stato carinissimo e super disponibile. Stanza grande, molto ampio. Ci siamo stati solo una notte ma è andato tutto molto bene

Nulla, struttura magari non nuovissima, ma tutto perfetto

Pros:

Die Dame an der Rezeption, wenn sie denn besetzt war, war sehr nett und hat alles verständlich erklärt. Es gab ein paar gute Tipps für Lokale und Bars in der Nähe.
Es gab einen Fön und einen Wasserkocher mit Kaffee-/Teebar.

Cons:

Ich fand sie Ausstattung des Zimmers etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Für das was wir bekommen haben, hat leider der Preis von 355 € nicht gepasst. Das Bad fand ich ganz schön schmuddelig und modrig. Zum Schlafen hat's gereicht.

Old hotel
Pros:

The only positive thing is that the bed was clean. Down the street at 150 meters, there's a free open air municipality parking where you can leave your car.

Cons:

The Holiday Hotel feels like stepping into a museum—specifically, a snapshot of a 1970s small hotel. If you’re curious about what a hotel from that era looked and felt like, this is the place to book.
The furniture and building are both old and outdated. Our room was freezing cold, and the radiator had a black, melted electrical plug, which was concerning. We couldn’t get the shower to produce hot water, though the sink did have hot water.
To top it off, the room offered little insulation from the noise and cold seeping in from the street.
