Lovely staff. Would stay again
Pros:

Location, staff, cleanliness

Cons:

NOT the hotel’s fault, but my bedroom window was located out the back. Next door neighbours were in their hot tub and very VERY loud until 3am.

Pros:

Gute Lage und einfacher Check in

Cons:

Zimmer unter dem Dach war extrem heiß und Fenster ließen sich nicht richtig öffnen. Ein Bett für 2 Personen mit einer Breite von etwa 1,4m ist einfach zu wenig!

Not restful.
Pros:

The staff were nice & the place was generally clean

Cons:

The bed was the most uncomfortable I've ever stayed on: mattress was old, cheap, very dipped & could feel every spring. We woke up multiple times in the night and both had bad backache the next day. The toilet seat was also cracked.
