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 (?).

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