Perfect transithotel

Wanneer je zou gaan skiën, is dit het perfecte hotel prijs - kwaliteit en op de juiste afstand tussen onze woonplaats en oostenrijk.

Leider hat sich die Qualität verschlechtert.

Toilette abgebrochen, im Ersatzzimmer roch das Badezimmer nach Frittierfett (?)... Beim Frühstück konnten wir selbst miterleben, daß ein Gast angeschnauzt wurde, weil er darum gebeten hatte, de Frühstückstisch abzuputzen (?).

Die Dusche wechselt im 15 Sekundentakt zwischen kochend heiß und eiskalt, ohne dass man den Hahn berührt.

The kitchenette was poorly serviced. There was no cooker provided to make light and simple meals that guests may wish to make. There was no weighing scale for use of guests. The staff were friendly and helpful though.

Für eine Nacht

Das Zimmer hatte auf dem Teppichboden Flecken und das Stockbett war Defekt so wie die Stuhlrücken lehne auch Für eine Nacht als Unterkunft zum ausruhen ist OK aber für ein Wochenende oder Länger nicht empfehlenswert.

Lovely stay

Hotel is in a lovely area. 1min walk to train station and also to the zoo. Our room didn't have air condition. We booked a double room but it turned out that two beds had just been put together and there was a big gap.

Hôtel bien placé

Hôtel bien placé puisqu'en centre mais tres bruyant. La chambre était tres exiguë. Beaucoup de bruit à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur.
