7.0

Sehr zentral, sehr nettes Personal, kleines aber sehr gutes Frühstück.

Zimmer sind ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Bad sehr alt und klein. Reinigung des Bades wurde nach der 1. Nacht nicht gemacht. Somit ist der Preis für die Grösse des Zimmers und der mangelnde Komfort eher an der oberen Grenze.
