Hotel is okey but could have been better relative to other three stars hotel. Room was not quiet enough and heating system was not working. Excellent staff with a great service.

Handy hotel- functional not a holiday destination!

Very helpful staff. Clean. Comfy beds. Little road noise considering the location. A good practical stop off point but not the place for a special occasion.

Ideales Hotel vor oder nach der Fährankunft.

Das Hotel liegt zwar auf einer Raststätte aber es war trotzdem schön ruhig in der Nacht. Die Zimmer sind nicht sehr gross, aber für uns hat das Familienzimmer ausgereicht. Wir waren für eine Nacht da bevor es wieder auf die Fähre zurück ging. Ideal da es nur ca 30min fahrt sind. Abendessen können wir auch uneingeschränkt empfehlen, war wirklich gut! Ebenso das Frühstück, mehr als ausreichend. Unbedingt noch in die Stadt fahren, sehr hübsch!
