Its location is convenient for walking the German village and walking to nearby restaurants. The room we were in had a problem with the toilet but we were moved to a comparable room, not poolside (but the pool was closed anyway). The staff was very helpful and friendly. We felt safe.

This was a great stat just south of the downtown area. The staff was great, and the room was clean and comfortable. It was quieter than most hotels we’ve stayed in, making it easy to rest.
