Check-In und die ganze Abwicklung ist schnell und unkompliziert. Beim Frühstück fehlt Obst. Anreise bei Dunkelheit und Berufsverkehr ist für Ortsfremde eine Katastrophe. Das ist nicht unbedingt dem Hotel anzulasten. Ich habe 30 Minuten gebraucht, um mein Auto loszuwerden für den Check-In und habe letztlich gut 500 m entfernt an einem P&R Parkplatz geparkt. Zwar bietet das Hotel Parkplätze im Hof an, aber was nutzt das, wenn man zum Zeitpunkt der Information, wie man dorthin kommt, sein Problem schon hat lösen müssen. Für Ortskundige oder Bahnreisende fällt dieses Problem weg.

Matige accommodatie maar de prijs-kwaliteit verhouding is wel reëel. Wij hadden met zijn drieën een 3-persoonkamer geboekt maar hadden helaas een 3e bijzet bed (dit lijkt op de website 3 volwaardige bedden). Ontbijt matig, weinig keuze en de ontbijtzaal is te klein als iedereen tegelijk komt ontbijten. Parkeren achter het hotel prima. Ook late incheck was prima en vooraf goed geregeld. Vriendelijke eigenaar. Op loopafstand genoeg restaurantjes en wat winkels, 15-20 min rijden van de Dom.

Das Haus ist in die Jahre gekommen - es dauert 5 Minuten bis das warme Wasser kommt, Einhebelmischer, W-Lan ein bischen langsam, aber ein tolles Frühstück, großer Fernseher, tolle Lage und viel Platz und freundliches Personal. Ich komme wieder

Quaint hotel for a family stay with friendly staff

The hotel was great for our family, convenient parking to leave our car for the weekend and close to the tram to take into the city for all the Christmas markets. The hotel was basic, but clean and comfortable. The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast buffet was good. Perfect for an affordable stay outside the city center.
