For the price and certainly the location this family friendly hotel l recommend; staff are welcoming and helpful as well. The rooms are slightly dated but charming, a little bit of paint here and there is peeling back but this reflects on the overall price.

Für den Preis habe ich nicht viel erwartet. Die Wände waren aber so dünn, dass mal alles von aussen höre. Wir hatten das Zimmer gleich nebem dem Frühstück, somit war es am Morgen sehr laut.
