The friendliness and the service of the staff we found brilliant! Almost all of the staff are so sincere, have always a smile for the guests and are hard even to learn german, it is, if you a few sentences teaches. Also they are very helpful (there one gladly gave tips) Room cleaning takes place once daily and the staff is very hard-working to keep everything clean, decorate also times flowers. There is every day fresh towels, (if you want, you can also every day at the front desk its towels for fresh change, if you need it?) Dealing with complaints will quickly. … read more
