Hotel is super.

Echter een aannemer was in de straat bezig met heel veel lawaai, straat open breken vanaf half 6 ‘‘s morgens.

Heerlijk verblijf in een Swiss Historic Hotel.

9.0

De kamer met inpandig balkon en uitzicht op de Rijn. De verzorgde inrichting van het hotel en de kamer. Mooie ontbijtzaal en heerlijk restaurant met buitenterras. Gelegenheid om vanuit het hotel een duik te nemen in de Rijn.
