Pros:

Nous avions déjà séjourné dans cet hôtel que nous avions beaucoup apprécié pour son style et l'emplacement.
Le petit déjeuner est toujours très bon

Cons:

Le bâtiment et les équipements sont très mal entretenus et le charme de cet hôtel en pati largement. Trop cher.

Pros:

Freundliches Personal, zentrale Lage, sehr gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Parkplatz ist abenteuerlich, Einfahrt ist sehr schmal, Plätze begrenzt. Duschen haben offensichtlich eigene Pumpen und sind dadurch sehr laut, was besonders nachts störend ist, insgesamt sehr hellhörig

Lovely large room and a bath in the bathroom!
Wonderful restaurant on site. A building full of character and friendly staff.

Einaml und nie wieder
Pros:

Gar nichts.

Cons:

Die Ausstattung in den Zimmern ist sehr alt. In dem Bett von meiner Frau kam seitlich schon eine Feder aus der Matratze. Die Matratzen sind sehr unbequem und bedürfen einer Erneuerung. Im zweiten Zimmer war es feucht. Im hinteren Frühstücksraum konnte man vor lauter schwarzer Schimmel die Bilder über dem Fenster auf der Tapete nicht mehr erkennen. Das Frühstück war auch nicht sehr berauschend. Wir haben auf unserer Rundreise in 6 weiteren Hotels übernachtet und in keinem anderen Hotel war das Frühstück so einfach wie hier. Schade. Das Hotel hat auch keine eigene Parkplätze. Man kann zwar vor der Türe parken, wenn man Glück hat. Die Parkplätze sind öffentlich, so das man dort nur zu einer bestimmten Uhrzeit kostenlos Parken kann. Zum Glück sind wir nur 2 Nächte geblieben. Wir können diese Hotel nicht wirklich empfehlen. Einmal und nie wieder. Das Hotel war für diese Verhältnisse absolut überteuert.

Pros:

Staff at breakfast were so kind and helpful

Cons:

When we arrived we were met by a woman in reception who she was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. She did not tell us or even point where our room was or where breakfast was to be served. This was a very poor first impression and so disappointing.
