This hotel is quite unique. The atmosphere is lovely and the rooms, despite being very small, are very cute and cosy. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The position is great! Would go back.

Hotel Scheuble
I wish the had better toiletries for the shower. The shower also tended to exceed the limits and spread water on the floor. We had to be careful in that respect, and wasted a lot of towels to keep it contained. Otherwise the room was comfy. We had a balcony which was sweet. Staff was very friendly ...
