Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Solide große Zimmer. Lage zentral und zur Parkseite hin trotzdem ruhig. Wir waren zeitweilig wohl fast die einzigen Gäste und es gab kein Bufett. Die Einzelbestellung war schwierig - auch sprachlich. Leider keine Stühle auf dem Balkon. Insgesamt aber okay.
