Reviewed Sep 7, 2026Die Lage im Zentrum, direkt unterhalb des Schlosses ist sehr gut, Parkhäuser sind in geringer Entfernung zu finden. Mein EZ war geräumig, das Bett bequem, das Bad angenehm, die Klimaanlage lief schön leise - alles sehr angenehm.
Das Frühstück war "übersichtlich", es gab einen Rest Baguette, ein einsames Croissant, eiskalte harte Eier, Wurst/Käse waren fast leer gegessen. Ich frühstücke normalerweise nicht in Hotels, weil ich meistens enttäuscht bin (oder es ein Vermögen kostet). Hier habe ich es getan, weil ich danach noch 5 h im Auto sitzen musste. Ich bin nicht hungrig gefahren, aber fühlte mich etwas "abgefertigt".

Reviewed Sep 4, 2026Die Lage war perfekt. Das Gemeinschaftsbad ( WC/Dusche) ist sehr schön und sehr sauber! Mein Zimmer unter dem Dach hatte eine Klimaanlage, das Fenster konnte geöffnet werden. Schöne Einrichtung, gutes Bett.
Nachts hört man zu jeder Viertel- und ganzen Stunde die Kirchturmglocken! Die hört man wohl in jeder Unterkunft, die im sehr kleinen Zentrum liegt. Das Frühstück war schlicht, nichts Besonderes! Für den Preis habe ich mehr erwartet.

Reviewed Aug 8, 2026Sarebbe stata bella la posizione
Abbiamo soggiornato il 7 agosto sotto le nostre finestre dalle 3 del pomeriggio alla 1 di notte hanno allestito un enorme palco dove hanno suonato musica heavy metal per tutto il tempo a volume assurdo la camera ha tremato per tutto il tempo . Lo albergo non ci aveva avvisato. Trovo questo estremamente disonesto e scorretto. Hanno preso soldi e zitti. Che non ci vengano a dire che c’è lo avevano detto perché non è così ci avevano detto dopo che abbiamo prenotato e pagato che nel centro del paese ci sarebbe stata una festa e che avrebbero chiuso il centro alle auto non che avremmo dovuto subire questa tortura

Reviewed Jul 18, 2026The location was outstanding, the staff was very nice ( the cleaning team was VERY Loud - waking us every day with their yelling back and forth). Breakfast was satisfactory, nothing great and you kind of had to ask to get anything (minimal offerings (2 croissants laid out for everyone, and when gone weren’t replenished- until you asked). The general consensus was they were simply “checking the box”. VERY accommodating with their late check-in. All in all a very nice, 3 star, unpretentious little hotel where we will stay at again.
Have the cleaning staff be quieter and more conscientious of the guests and not simply in a race to get done as quickly as possible. Put a little bit more effort into the breakfast.

Als Person die keine Milchprodukte und kein Fleisch isst, hätte ich mir noch etwas Hummus, Gemüse- oder Hülsenfrüchteaufstrich oder ein Veganes Joghurt oder veganen Käse gewünscht oder etwas Gurken, Peperoni oder Tomate, aber nicht direkt auf dem Fleisch. Aber ich habe sehr gut gegessen und ein Cappuccino mit Hafermilch erhalten. Also alles Tip Top.

Reviewed Jun 7, 2026Die Lage, der Empfang im Hotel war freundlich. Das Fahrrad konnte in der Hotelgarage (gegen Aufpreis) abgestellt werden. Das Zimmer war ok aber auch nicht der Hit.
Das Bett ging gar nicht. Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis hat aus meiner Sicht auch nicht gestimmt. Am schlimmsten war dann das Essen im Restaurant. Der Service hat mich gekonnt missachtet. Das negative Erlebnis im Restaurant gepaart mit einer schlaflosen Nacht wegen dem Bett hat leider keine gute Erinnerung an diesen Aufenthalt erzeugt.
