Not too bad but really needs an elevator! Due to no ac the room can get quite hot with no air flow. Apparently, breakfast is an extra charge and was told that travel companies such as Expedia etc do not include breakfast in the booking fee which seems strange and feel I was ripped off as it was just continental breakfast and no cooked foods!

Şirin bir otel

Merkezi tren istasyonu ile Hauptstrasse arasında bulunan güzel bir otel. Odayı hergün temizlediler. Personel kibar ve ilgiliydi. Yalnız odada çay-kahve için su ısıtıcısı olsa çok iyi olurdu.

Sehr freundliches Personal, alles sehr sauber und ordentlich, Lage sehr gut, man ist in 10 min zu Fuß in der Altstadt/Fußgängerzone, Restaurants in der Nähe, Frühstück wegen Corona einfach aber ok (frische Brötchen vom Bäcker wären schön gewesen anstatt Aufbackbrötchen), Parkplätze in den umliegenden Straßen gegen eine kleine Gebühr sind zu finden, Zimmer groß und einfach aber alles vorhanden und die Betten waren bequem, in der Nacht kein Straßenlärm, wir fanden das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top !!!!
