## Rating of the Gasthof Am alten FrohnhofI would like to share my experience at Gasthof Am alten Frohnhof, especially regarding the soup I ordered. The small bowl for €21.90 was simply far too expensive and did not meet expectations.I also noticed that the prices were not clearly visible, which further clouded the overall impression. Transparent pricing is important for every guest to make an informed decision.To my regret, the boss was not aware of any guilt and showed little understanding for the justified criticism. This had a negative impact on my visit experience. Overall, based on this experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend this inn.

There were five of us and we had a view of all three rooms. All rooms have their own entrance and are individually furnished with attention to detail. It's clean, everything you need is there, the beds are comfortable and the contact was very nice and uncomplicated. Thanks for the good time.
