Pleasant but pricey for what it is

Great service and nice breakfast but rooms very basic and a bit dated for the price paid. Old lift which didn't arrive on top floor when leaving to check out so had to lug suitcase down flights of stairs when in a hurry :(

Wir hatten leider Pech mit unserem Zimmer, es war sehr ausgekühlt und die Heizung funktionierte nicht, auch das 2. Zimmer war sehr ausgekühlt und auch hier funktionierte die Heizung fast gar nicht. Wir haben sehr gefroren und es war nicht gemütlich. Das Personal vor Ort war sehr freundlich.

Wir hatten ohne Frühstück gebucht. Beim einchecken wurde uns das Frühstück über den grünen Klee gelobt und angepriesen. Wir haben es dann nachgebucht. Das war auch in Ordnung. Mehr aber auch nicht und für 16 Euro überteuert. Mehr als 9 Euro war es mir nicht wert. Aus Bequemlichkeit. In der Bäckerei in der Nähe kostet es 6,95.
