Reviews
Private parking can be found in front of the hotel entrance and also back doors. We stayed on weekdays (but during school vacations of Easter) and have no problems to find parking lot after 8pm when returning to the hotel. And it's free. Also breakfast is in included in room price. During our stay we only see the staff (probably the owner himself) at noon when checking in and every morning when he prepares breakfast for guests. There was no front desk at night, we used the room key also for the hotel door. I would say this is not a extraordinarily friendly hotel, but we felt quite relax and comfortable. With the price given and the free parking/breakfast, we will surely consider to stay again next time.
