Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel makes a very good impression from the outside and has plenty of free parking.The reception at the front desk was very friendly and courteous. The only annoyance in the room, which was large enough overall, was the constant supply of cool air via a room ventilation system (not the air conditioning system that can be switched off, this was switched off and in another corner of the room), which could not be switched off. The breakfast was very good and varied.

We stayed for one night in room 10 with my 3 year old daughter. And above us it sounded like a tornado for hours and my daughter could not fall asleep.

Just a few squares of toilet paper left and one towel short, dust on the floor and dirt on the walls. On the bright side, breakfast offered a decent spread. Service could have been better.

Ruhiges Hotel, welches schon etwas älter ist, sodass man leider auch vieles von den anderen Zimmern mitbekommt. Eine Familie mit 2 Kindern war im 1. Stock untergebracht. Nicht direkt über uns, aber man konnte das herum rennen und das Geschrei sehr laut bei uns im Zimmer hören
