Traveled with family and small children
Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Die Unterkunft war schön. Das Bad war klein, aber ausreichend. Der Wasserdruck ließ zu wünschen übrig, aber dann dauert das duschen halt etwas länger :) Das Leitungswasser roch jedoch streng nach verfaulten Eiern - ich weiß nicht, ob das so üblich ist. Können sie Unterkunft aber empfehlen. Das Frühstück war abwechslungsreich.
