We ate there with 5 people, the food was very tasty, no question BUT that when we asked twice, the landlord gave the wrong price, which was around 15 € more expensive than the one that was billed later - that's not possible!!!! ! And then just saying: "Oh, that was a mistake" is unacceptable!!!!!

I was there for three nights, the room was ok, not luxury, but sufficient. Only the - I call it wet room - was a bit puny, the sink was small and on the toilet you hit your knees on the shower cubicle. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Yes, avoid a hotel where the landlord swears if you don't immediately understand the names of the rooms.|Yes, avoid a hotel where the landlord makes pathetic anti-Semitic remarks.|Simply impossible! …

The following incident took place on the terrace of the hotel later in the evening on September 17, 2024: We (hotel guests with friends, also hotel guests) were sitting on the terrace and wanted to pay for our wine. The owner made a payment gesture with two fingers and said: "Do you know what that means? It means: dead Jew. Because if he was alive, he would do like this:" This was followed by a payment gesture with three fingers. Both we and three guests with whom the owner was sitting at the table were petrified. Then I said: "That's clearly anti-Semitic." The owner got up and went into the house without a word. His three table companions said: "That he can't stop doing it. He just keeps doing it. He can't stop it."
