What was supposed to be 4 star hotel was hardly 2 star. Lift was broken and no one offer help with luggage to the 3rd floor, no air-conditioning and no simple fans, refrigerator in my room didn't work, when approaching the reception, the lady said, true the refrigerator doesn't work but why do i have a problem with this! Made reservation for dinner but all tables in the garden were occupied and the only available table was inside without Aircon at 40c and all waiters sweating... One the worst hotel i ever stayed. Avoid it

Mooi grote kamer geboekt met veel ruimte en grote badkamer. Diner opties in het restaurant zijn prima (typische Duitse Brauerei). Ik zou alleen niet adviseren om in de Tiefgarage te parkeren (kost E16). Buiten is ook genoeg plaats. Onbijt is ook goed geregeld met een ruime keuze. De koffie is wat minder hier.
