Personale molto gentile, ottima posizione e cucina. Facilità di parcheggio.

Stanze vecchie, poco manutenzionate e forte odore di muffa.

Schlosshotel mitten im Zentrum

7.0

Dieses Schlosshotel bietet eine ungezwungene Atmosphäre. Die Location ist super und es bietet Parkplatz vor der Schloss.

Das Hotel ist insgesamt etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Unser Zimmer war einfach eingerichtet und hat ein sehr dunkles Badezimmer. Das Essen war mittelmassig.

Meget venligt personale.

Jeg havde forventninger om et slot/borg, det var bare et almindeligt hotel. Jeg bestilte bord under hvælvinger, men restauranten var nærmest en kantine. Der var ingen hvælvinger (vault).!!
