Sehr freundliches und unkompliziertes Personal, ich konnte deutlich früher in mein Zimmer als ursprünglich vorgesehen, Preis-Leistung absolut top, Zimmer klimatisiert, ich war lange nicht so zufrieden, vor allem gemessen am Preis. Ich würde jederzeit wiederkommen.

Großes, schönes Zimmer wie gewünscht weg von der Straße. Alles drin, alles sauber. Prima Bett & Bad. Praktische Lage am Bahnhof.

Sehr laute, nicht abstellbare Lüftung im Bad.

Die lange Tradition des Hauses.

Seit der Übernahme durch Gartner ist die Qulität und begleitende Dienstleistungen stark gesunken. Kein Wasser mehr; Dusche, Duschkopf etc. sind alt und teilweise defekt. Man fühlt sich nicht mehr so wohl, wie die letzten 10 Jahre davor.
