Really kind a courteous staff. Room was clean and the bathroom was way bigger and fancier than expected. Huge recommendation!

Nothing special
Our first impression was awful as we spent 45 minutes convincing the receptionist we actually had a booking, even getting hotels.com involved. When she finally gave us our room it was the wrong one and there was no apology, just the impression we were imposing on her. In fact, all staff I encountered were rude and suspicious.
The room was ok, though 2 single beds put together to make a double and very dated furniture. I wouldn't stay again.

Abgesehen von der schlechten Parkmöglichkeit war unsere Nacht im Hotel sehr entspannt. Sehr freundliches Personal und weiche Kissen. 👍👍
