Reviews
The hostess is serious but welcoming, and allowed me to check into my room early. I had to check out very early, and they left breakfast in the fridge for me, which was very nice.
decent; food was coordinated and, if needed, even refilled. All in all, OK, slightly overpriced, but that's just how it is with everything these days.
I can recommend the Hotel Asterra.
The view from the hotel room is not particularly good - residential buildings.
The website is more impressive than in reality.
The boss herself looked after the hotel herself during this time.
We were welcomed in a friendly manner and our additional requests fulfilled at any time.
Good quality WiFi was available in all rooms.
The breakfast was right and it was paid attention to variety.
The decor of the room was okay but a bit old (therefore only 4 stars).
Nice little hotel in a good location.
Dogs were welcome and there are great hiking opportunities in the immediate vicinity. We would come back
