AKZENT Hotel Schranne

AKZENT Hotel Schranne

10/10 Excellent
"Nice room. Bed is a little firmer than some. Helpful front desk staff. Very convenient location for city activities. Dining for dinner was very good. They have maybe a dozen or so parking spaces in their back lot which you can reserve for 15 Euros which I thought was more convenient than the close city lots."

"We absolutely loved our stay! The town was beautiful, and the hotel was perfect for us. The people who manage the hotel were wonderful, welcoming, and made us feel right at home. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection to start our mornings. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Germany. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!"
