The parking lot next to the hotel is large and easily accessible, just keep in mind that the main entrance is behind the large building. At the front there is a restaurant shop and at the back is the hotel with the entrance. The reception is staffed until 8 p.m. and a friendly lady welcomed me and handed me the keys. The booked room does not have its own bathroom. There are two clean and well-equipped bathrooms in the hallway. I also booked breakfast for ten euros and found everything I needed.

We only stayed at this hotel for one night and would never do it again.The double room was functional, but not clean. There were cobwebs on the metal feet of the bed - also on the lower bathroom door frames. In the bathroom itself, under the sink, which only appeared to be clean, there was a contact lens from the previous person on the floor. In our opinion, this is a sign that it has not been cleaned thoroughly. The shower gel that was previously attached next to the shower head was lying on the edge of the bathtub because the holder was broken. Not worth mentioning in itself, but it shows how minor repairs are handled.However, all of this is nothing in contrast to the experiences in the breakfast room, which we entered at 8 a.m. There were already many older travelers there having breakfast. When we wanted to help ourselves from the three-tiered bread basket - with two types of bread and baked rolls - we noticed that the pre-cut slices of bread were moldy (green mold). The first pane had white marks. When we pointed this out, the basket was immediately removed, frightened and with eyes wide open, and after a short time (the same basket?) filled with warm, baked rolls, it was put back in the same place. As I said, there were older people present - well over 70 years old - who hopefully didn't eat this bread.It may come as no surprise that the coffee and other products were not convincing either. The coffee was so thin that it didn't even taste like coffee. And my husband was looking forward to black tea that “decaffeines”!!! was. We broke off breakfast and went to reception to pay the bill and report on our experiences. The employee, who was sitting at a desk at a certain distance from the reception desk, looked at us questioningly, as if it were completely normal to communicate with each other at this distance. We asked you to come to us and report. I told her that I wanted to reduce the bill by the price of breakfast. The employee complied.However, it should never happen that the guest is offered spoiled food. The products must be checked before publication and presentation. I can only recommend that every guest inspect the products carefully before consuming or removing them.
