J'ai apprécié l'accueil, la situation géographique et la déo.

Frühstück super, Lage prima, Parkplatz sicher Zimmer groß, aber etwas stickig.

− Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig. Frühaufstehende Gäste im Stockwerk über uns habe die Nacht frühzeitig beendet

Very good, quiet and central location

8.0

An intriguing and charming central hotel in a quiet location. Marvellous design features. Welcoming and helpful staff.

− Our room was cramped but the bathroom was a generous size. Breakfast at 14 Euros was rather overpriced.
