Great stop at this excellent hotel.

Great stop at this excellent hotel. Friendly staff who were most helpful. Room was clean, comfortable and covered the basic needs for a stop. Excellent bed. Breakfast was also first rate with plenty of choice. A good hotel which we would use again.

Schon bei Ankunft begegnet man sehr freundlichen Mitarbeitenden, dies ist während dem gesamten Aufenthalt so, man wird immer gegrüßt und fühlt sich allein dadurch schon sehr wohl. Ich war mit meinem Zimmer sehr zufrieden und die Gemeinschaftsdusche war sehr sauber und groß genug. Das Frühstücksbuffet hat meine „Erwartungen“ übertroffen, man startet gestärkt in den Tag und für unterwegs kann man sich für einen sehr günstigen Preis Brötchen oder Sandwiches machen, das war für mich die mit dem Rad unterwegs ist natürlich super! Alles in allem ein super Start für meine Tour.

Vi hade en mycket bra vistelse. Personalen var trevlig, hjälpsam och allt fungerade bra. Det enda som kunde förbättras är att städning inte ingick. Bra frukost!
