I enjoyed the ckean room, the host was so kind and heloed me with a late checkin due to late flure and traffic jams. Since i give lectures i rest at a bit unusual times of the day and prepare. The only thing i di t like that some person come in my room without knoking and waiting for an aswer. I would expect privacy in Germany. He was lucky i did understood he was making a mistake because a black belt in karate and krav maga wouldn't do good to any intuder so next time nock before entreing a room of a colonel.

Hyggeligt b&b

Fint b&b til prisen - det var rigtig hyggeligt og personalet var søde. Dog var vi meget generet af larm fra biler og vejen - men til en enkelt overnatning var det helt fint.

Mysigt B&B i närheten an vackra omgivningar. Trevligt bemötande vid ankomst, även om vi fick vänta några minuter eftersom personalen inte var på plats. Rena och rymliga rum. Bekvämt avstånd till större byar och städer, med bil.

Wir hatten das „Deluxe Appartment“. Kurz: Es ist kein Appartment. Eher eine Suite. Es ist sehr hellhörig. Man hört die Gespräche im Frühstücksraum und Geräusche der Zimmernachbarn. Das Appartment hat sehr viel Platz. Das Badezimmer wurde in den letzten Jahren renoviert. Ansonsten steht viel Ikea. Fliegende Leitungen, Schrauben die ohne Dübel in die Wand geachraubt wurden. Sie haben eigenhändig das Beste mit wenig Geld draus gemacht. Low Budget. Die Beschreibungen über das Hotel ist missverständlich. Es ist nur teilrenoviert und die Fotos der Zimmer sind nicht vollständig. Der Vorraum mit Kaffeemaschine, Kühlschrank und Wasserkocher ist absolut wiederlich. Als ich es betrat wollte ich rückwärts wieder rausgehen. Für 140€ ist das Deluxe Appartment absolut überteuert. Glücklicherweise hatte ich Lappen und Putzmittel mit, um eklige Rückstände aus dem Kühlschrank zu entfernen. Die Kaffemaschine war schimmelig, was ich ebenfalls aufwendig reinigte. Der Vorraum wurde irgendwie immer übergangen. Scheint wohl aus Sicht des Hotels nicht zum Zimmer zu gehören. Der Rest der Suite wurde sonst sehr gut sauber gehalten. Das Personal ist wirklich sehr freundlich und versucht das Beste. Eine Zimmerreinigung fand nicht täglich statt obwohl angegeben. Das Frühstück ist solide ausreichend. Während des Frühstücks habe ich mitbekommen, dass Gäste früher als geplant abreisten. Ich unterstütze gerne private Pensionen, aber ich schätze man müsste noch einiges investieren.

Die Einrichtung war modern und schön. Allerdings waren bei uns (Zimmernummer 5) überall Flecken auf dem Teppich und Polstern. Aber was schlimmer war, waren die (vermutlich) Hundehaare überall. Für mich als Allergikerin schlimm. Überall klebten diese Haare, auch zuhause im Koffer noch. Wenn man schon Hunde aufnimmt, sollte darauf mehr geachtet werden. Generell war es beim genaueren hinschauen sehr staubig, zumindest im Frühstücksraum auf den Schränken. Das Frühstück selber war ausreichend, es gab von allem etwas. Außer das es leider keine Eier gab. Satt wurden wir trotzdem.

Sehr hellhöriges Haus. Leider ab 6:30 Uhr wach gewesen, weil es im Zimmer über mir sehr laut wurde. Das Frühstück sehr dürftig! Beim Check-Out musste ich beweisen, dass ich bereits bezahlt habe und gab mir dabei ein schlechtes Gewissen, als hätte ich etwas falsch gemacht. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön eingerichtet und mit viel Details.

Naja...

Alles in Ordnung, für den doch recht hohen Preis für 105€ für ein Doppelzimmer hätte man mehr erwartet. Die Zimmer waren sehr schlicht eingerichtet, zwecksmäßig aber nicht wohnlich. Der Service ließ zu wünschen übrig. Unfreundliches Personal an der Rezeption. Das Frühstücksbuffet war spärlich, es gab gar kein frisches Obst und nur abgezählte Gurken - und Tomatenscheiben. Wir würden nicht wiederkommen.
