Beautiful, beautifully renovated retreat. Nice welcome from Ms. Kempf. My room 104 was stylish and clean. The welcome tray with water and especially the Nespresso machine were great.Unfortunately I had to close my window at night and especially early in the morning because the main street is already noisy but maybe. Are there also rooms at the back? I'll find out next visit!

The lovingly, detailed furnished guest rooms of the old forester's house are centrally located and yet in a very quiet location. The staff warmly welcomes you and ensures that you feel comfortable. A delicious coffee in the morning - in your room - is included in the absolutely moderate price. Gladly again at any time. 👍
