I few simple changes could make this an outstanding hotel. The breakfast was exactly the same every day, I stayed 10 nights and had to go out for breakfast sometimes just for something different - probably not a problem if you stay a couple of nights! Although tea and coffee is readily available in the lobby, this proved an issue if your room was on the 3rd floor, in room tea facilities would help along with a mini fridge to keep drinks cold. Sometimes you just want to stay in your room to relax with a cup of tea but the tea facilities were on the ground floor. Having said this the location is excellent and the owner plus son were only too pleased to help. The breakfast chocolate cake was the best! Catering / room service staff were very friendly and helpful.

Das Personal ist super freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit. Preis Leistung stimmte für uns auch wenn es nicht modernste oder ausreichendes Frühstücksangebote hatte. Wir haben meist das Angebot an Esswaren in der Umgebung genuzt, da wir nie sofort nach dem Aufstehen essen können.
