    The railway station is just a few minutes away, the staff is friendly. Once dined in a hotel restaurant, the food is delicious, served quickly. Room's clean, cleaned every day. I loved it.

    Monotonous breakfasts, but it's not a problem if you stay at the hotel for 2-3 days

    The breakfast was good for every taste. Our room (superior) had a pleasant size and the possibility to prepare a hot drink. For short trips I can recommend the hotel.

    Except for the small toilet room without a toilet brush and little cupboard we were very satisfied.
