On the first day (after the first night) our room was unfortunately not cleaned. On second day go back - however dirty glasses and an empty Sektflasche left. Why was beyond me.

The restaurant is very stylish - a bit on the small side, but … read more

Check-in and check-out was smooth and very fast. If the room is not ready, stands for luggage Baggage-room, which is only with the map of the front desk can be opened.

Jams/spreads, coffee or tea, orange and grapefruit juice The room was on the small side but perfectly adequate for a short break. The room has a closet, 2 chairs, 2 … read more
