Comfortable accommodationsResponsive staff

Everything was ok, just what I expected for the price I paid.
The only thing that maybe let it down a bit was the pillows on the bed, the were a bit hard and not the most comfortable

LeslieUnited KingdomIt was perfect for us and I'd definitely stay again.
The location, facilities, comfort and cleanliness were excellent.
VolkerGermanyZweckmäßig und preiswert
Zweckmäßige Unterkunft. Sehr ruhig gelegen, dennoch nahe am Zentrum
Duschschlauchführung etwas umständlich. Kann man aber durch Abschrauben des Brausekopfes beheben.
