Very nice and cozy pit stop on the way up north. Good kitchen amenities and the room was well furnished and clean. Nice soaps and shampoos. A short walk to the cafes and bakery. Only criticism was we were supposed to self check in and they changed our room without informing us, so got a shock when I tried to open an occupied room. Also we are 5,8” -6,2” and our feet were hanging off the edge of the single beds. But still had a lovely stay.

Sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. John ist sehr aufmerksam und gibt Tipps für Unternehmungen und Umgebung. Zimmer war sauber und gemütlich. Kleine Küchenzeile ist auch vorhanden. Ich war in Einheit 7 und hatte von der Terrasse aus Blick aufs Wasser. Nur die Live Musik am Wochenende von nebenan hat etwas gestört aber das lag daran, dass die Dame einfach nicht singen konnte.

Decor was a little outdated but the room was very clean. Room amenities also very good and staff were most courteous and helpful. Only negative was some noise from the retaurant/bar next door but it was a Friday & Saturday night stay so to be expected, band stopped abruptly at 10pm and so relatively quiet after that.
