Very nice hotel, homely atmosphere. We were greeted very courteously by the owner and taken to our room. Despite the very close location to the street, it is really quiet. Plenty of parking spaces and well-maintained paths around the hotel. Unfortunately there is no elevator, but the landlord was personally very helpful.

Absolutely great, the service was courteous and professional and the food was perfect from starter to dessert. I had Chateaubrind flambéed at the table with 550 grams of excellent beef fillet, super tasty. I'm happy to pay a little more than usual for this quality. Looking forward to the next visit...

Was there on Tuesday for dinner with a business colleague. Very good food. Not exactly cheap - but you get what you pay for. The service/operation leaves nothing to be desired. The menu selection for dishes is - let's say: modest. But there is something for everyone. And the “something” is also very good for that. All in all: Very good value for money. You can eat really well and comfortably here.

Were there for dinner. Very tasty cuisine with a nice greeting from the kitchen.....Very nice and friendly staff.....great extra praise to the kitchen and the nice boss....Small but completely sufficient menu...is basically for Something for everyone. Prices are a little higher than in normal restaurants but in my opinion they are totally justified... It's best to try it out for yourself...
