Für eine Übernachtung zur Durchfahrt super geeignet. Zimmer etwas verwohnt. Badezimmer könnte mal renoviert werden. (Schimmelflecken Silikonfugen)
Lobenswert und das Beste am Hotel ist das Restaurant (abends) und die Freundlichkeit vom Mitarbeiter, der die Gäste zum Platz begleitet (auch zu den Kindern). Insgesamt sehr Familienfreundlich und Hundefreundlich.
Frühstück okay, leider etwas abgestanden zum Ende des Frühstückszeitraums (Käse, Wurst)
Rigtig fin morgenmad. Værelset lå i den gamle del af hotellet og bærer præg af at det er af ældre dato. Værelset var ubehageligt varmt at komme ind i (26 gr) så de første 3 timer blev brugt på at lufte ud.
Meget venligt personale.
Bonjour
La fermeture du restaurant aurait dû être signalé et la climatisation dans la chambre orientée sur un lit n’a pas pu être utilisée … sinon tout s’est bien passé.
Für eine Übernachtung auf der Durchreise haben wir hier einen sehr angenehmen und unkomplizierten Aufenthalt verbracht.
Die Kinder haben sich sehr über die Badewanne gefreut, für ältere Personen könnte der Einstieg etwas schwierig sein.
Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Süden hier übernachtet und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel kann ich empfehlen, zumal es nah an der Autobahn liegt und trotzdem ruhig im Dorf gelegen ist.
Restaurant ist eher zu gehoben, qualitativ & preislich. Generell ist das Personal sehr hilfsbereit & spürbar im Teamgeist. Technik des Fernsehers erforderte zu 2 Aufenthalten in kurzem Abstand jeweils Nachbesserungen, die aber zügig erfolgten. Angebot mit deutlich niedrigerem Preis hatte Dachschrägen
