Très bien

Un très bon accueil. Chambre avec vue sur mer très agréable, calme , propre et bien équipée. Bon petit déjeuner. Par contre assez surpris de voir qu'il n'y pas de rampe d'accès. Ce qui n'est vraiment pas pratique pour des personnes qui seraient handicapés ou même monter des bagages.

Nette Unterkunft mit Parkplatz und Frühstück

Haben das Hotel gewählt wegen Parkplatz, Lage ist ruhig, kann man mit Fahrrädern über die Fahrradwege in die Altstadt fahren, Strand ist keine 5 min mit dem Rad entfernt. Frühstück mit sehr viel Liebe gemacht und Service sehr aufmerksam. Das Essen im Restaurant war von Preis Leistung mehr als gut. Das Haus ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
