Hotel Alte Post

8/10 Good
"I chose this hotel because it had a restaurant with a garden that backs onto the river. Unfortunately, the night we stayed (Friday) it was closed. There didn’t seem to be that many options nearby. Our room was on the 2nd floor with no lift. The room was comfortable enough but very basic. The breakfast was an extra 10€ per person so I would not rate this hotel value for money. It did us for an overnight stop but I probably wouldn’t stay again."
