Anja, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Für eine Übernachtung zur Durchfahrt super geeignet. Zimmer etwas verwohnt. Badezimmer könnte mal renoviert werden. (Schimmelflecken Silikonfugen) Lobenswert und das Beste am Hotel ist das Restaurant (abends) und die Freundlichkeit vom Mitarbeiter, der die Gäste zum Platz begleitet (auch zu den Kindern). Insgesamt sehr Familienfreundlich und Hundefreundlich. Frühstück okay, leider etwas abgestanden zum Ende des Frühstückszeitraums (Käse, Wurst)

Ideale tussenstop op onze jaarlijkse vakantie.

Rigtig fin morgenmad. Værelset lå i den gamle del af hotellet og bærer præg af at det er af ældre dato. Værelset var ubehageligt varmt at komme ind i (26 gr) så de første 3 timer blev brugt på at lufte ud. Meget venligt personale.

Bonjour La fermeture du restaurant aurait dû être signalé et la climatisation dans la chambre orientée sur un lit n’a pas pu être utilisée … sinon tout s’est bien passé.

Für eine Übernachtung auf der Durchreise haben wir hier einen sehr angenehmen und unkomplizierten Aufenthalt verbracht. Die Kinder haben sich sehr über die Badewanne gefreut, für ältere Personen könnte der Einstieg etwas schwierig sein.

Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Süden hier übernachtet und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel kann ich empfehlen, zumal es nah an der Autobahn liegt und trotzdem ruhig im Dorf gelegen ist.

Restaurant ist eher zu gehoben, qualitativ & preislich. Generell ist das Personal sehr hilfsbereit & spürbar im Teamgeist. Technik des Fernsehers erforderte zu 2 Aufenthalten in kurzem Abstand jeweils Nachbesserungen, die aber zügig erfolgten. Angebot mit deutlich niedrigerem Preis hatte Dachschrägen

Wunderschönes Wochenende

Nach einem Stadtbummel in Ulm könnten wir den Tag mit einem unglaublich leckeren Essen im Ochsen ausklingen lassen. Beruhigend, wenn man sich im gleichen Haus auf ein herrliches Hotelzimmer freuen kann. Die Servicekraft im Restaurant war informiert, dass wir Hotelgäste waren und hat uns sehr zuvorkommend bedient. Auch das Frühstücksbuffet am nächsten Morgen war sehr sehr schön angerichtet, es fehlte an nichts. Hotel und Restaurant sind sehr zufrieden empfehlen, erwartet man in dieser Lage nicht unbedingt.Wir kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.

Gut für einen Zwischenstopp. Bad etwas eng, aber eine Nacht ok. Das Frühstück war ausreichend, aber etwas schleppend beim auffüllen.
