Convenient Hotel

Well worth its 4-star billing, this is a very professional and well looked after hotel. Centrally located, across the road from the central train station.

Sehr schönes, reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet. Einrichtung etwas älter, was an den Matrazen spührbar ist. Leider keine Insektennetze an den Fenstern, hatten ein grosses Langbeininsekt im Zimmer.
