The food is top class and the fact that the chef comes to the table and asks is simply great. I can only recommend the food to everyone

One of the last “gems” from the eighties. Simple rooms, but clean.Be sure to eat dinner at home. The kitchen is highly recommended. The boss cooks personally, and everyone goes to great lengths to serve the guests perfectly. However, what you should measure against the standards of past decades is, so to speak, a trip into the past. It's nice that something like this still exists. I hope this hotel survives!

A nice, nice hotel with a restaurant. The rooms are large, clean and nicely furnished, completely ok for the price. Breakfast is really very good. A large selection of sausages, cheese and jam. The table is already set and that's all everything you need. The restaurant is also very nice. The head chef here himself, and if he can do something, he cooks it. The portions are large, and we have rarely eaten something so delicious, and the prices are also okay. The chef comes Even come to the table and ask if you liked it. The staff is really friendly and the service is quick. We can only recommend the hotel and restaurant.

The kitchen is ok. Good selection, normal prices. The rooms are not according to the price. The room was very small. There was no way to turn off the light from the bed. There was also no bedside table. It was also quite loud at night. For the price I expected more.

The chair in the room was full of hair. You clarify everything by email and the next day you get an incorrect invoice. You try to clarify it, but it just says "I can't create a new invoice" which is nonsense.

We went here to eat on a recommendation. Unfortunately, the recommendation has not been confirmed. The host's reception was rather grumpy. After we sat down in the hall, we were initially ignored by the waitress and the innkeeper. After the waitress came, she asked us what we would like to drink without handing us a card. At my request, she brought us the cards so that we could choose food and drinks. Unfortunately, the service person couldn't remember the order for two meals and had to go back to the counter to get a piece of paper. The food we got was disappointing and any housewife would probably have made it tastier. Only the salad and the fried potatoes were restaurant quality. I felt sorry for the money afterwards.
