Reviews
Friendly. Breakfast is sufficient. Kids friendly. No air-condition.
Nice terrace.
Visited in spring.
Nothing to complain about.
In addition:
The multi-bed rooms are neither comfortable nor beautiful. Say: The lighting is cold and a little creative mounted. Walls are ugly, sterile woodchip. 70s-granite window sills. Color concept virtually does not exist. Strange is: It has been modernised everything and meticulously ausdetailliert - not feel, Style or character you will find.
It's a kid friendly place and the breakfast was delicious with a good variety.
