Sehr gutes Frühstück. Freundliche, zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter und Gastgeber. Auch der Hund wurde wie ein Gast behandelt mit Wasser, Leckerchen und Decke. Die Einrichtung ist suber, und spartan. Wenn es im Zimmer für 3 Personen auch 3 Sitzgelegenheiten hätte, wäre das super. Ebenso ist das Licht für düstere Tage im Zimmer zu schlummrig gewählt. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist jedoch sehr gut.

Très bon séjour!

Très bon séjour, chambres propres, très spacieuses. Petit déjeuner complet, restaurant vraiment agréable, service sympa. Nous aurions apprécié avoir 1-2 options de repas moins "élaborés" pour les petits enfants, qui sont sortis de table en ayant faim car n'ayant pas vraiment mangé. Mais pour les autres la cuisine était délicieuse! Merci

Ohne Sommerhitze wäre alles bestens

Das Hotel hat eine sehr gute Lage und wir waren insgesamt sehr zufrieden. Insbesondere das sehr reichhaltige Frühstück wusste zu überzeugen. Das Zimmer war auch schön. Einziges Manko war, dass wir die Fenster in unserem Zimmer nicht komplett verdunkeln und das Zimmer bei der grossen Aussenhitze auch nicht richtig herunterkühlen konnten.

Sehr schönes Haus, sorgfältig und nachhaltig renoviert. Die Zimmer für meinen Geschmack etwas kühl eingerichtet (dafür 70iger Jahre Stil). Bettdecken zu kurz.

Superschönes stilvoll und sauberes 3er Zimmer. Besonders erwähnenswert ist das reichhaltige Frühstück, das man sich nach nach Lust und Laune selber zusammenstellen kann.

Sehr schönes Hotel, leckeres Essen,tolles Personal

War ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt im Hotel. Der Zustand ist wirklich sehr gut. Die Zimmer mit dem nötigsten eingerichtet, schönes Design. Auch was alles sehr sauber. Positiv aufgefallen ist das leckere Essen, der super nette Service und die tolle Stimmung. Was ebenfalls schön ist sind die Holzfussböden, welche aber auch den Nachteil haben sehr laut zu sein....es ist sehr hellhörig und man hört wenn jemand im Nachbarzimmer wach ist und herumläuft. Aber alles im allen ein sehr schönes, zu empfehlendes Hotel!

Schönes und nettes alternatives Hotel

Freundliches Personal. Schöne, saubere Zimmer. Gutes modernes Bad (ausser der Plastikduschvorhang störte). Kein TV im Zimmer. Bequemes Bett. Gute Aussicht. Parkplatz für CHF 15 pro Nacht zu teuer. Auch das Frühstück mit 15 CHF ist zu teuer.
