Check-in/check-out went quickly, the concierge was very friendly and helpful, also the employees for breakfast, only the 'fake/rehearsed' working friendliness at reception seemed a little disturbing, that the lady not entschulldigt has, that you one of your questions had forgotten. But otherwise as mentioned, everything rop.This breakfast buffet could have been for me 10 suns deserves, i have never seen such a good breakfast bufett as here! Right at the front desk was sparkling wine offered, which we did at the time still have not adopted, but good. Then there were eggs in different variations, bacon, sausage, hash browns, tomatoes, spinach. … read more
