Sehr gut gelegene Unterkunft. Alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Zimmer für zwei Nächte ok für länger viel zu klein . Sehr sehr laut bei geöffnetem Fenster. Parkmöglichkeiten gegenüber für 17€ den Tag bei der Jugendherbergen.

feines kleines Hotel direkt in der Nähe der Messe! Preise moderat! Nettes, freundliches und hilfsbereites Team! Gibt auch Tipps für Frühstück, denn selbst bieten sie kein Frühstück an! Wenn die Preise fair bleiben komme ich gerne wieder!
