Beautiful restaurant, well-kept rooms. Good service/service.Friendly and correct. If you want to check in on Sunday, you must make an appointment in advance by telephone or check in via the machine (not difficult). Because on Sundays there is no one there except the guests.

Good location, Small but nice rooms. Breakfast is o.k. but if more people are at breakfast at the same time, it is quite difficult to move in the small breakfast corner :-(.|Downside - I am waiting for over 2 weeks for an invoice that I need, but did not receive it. Excuse: the computer has a problem?!?
