    noisy environment

    good stay but noisy nights

    The breakfast featured a fantastic assortment of fresh local cheeses and breads that were truly memorable. Staff members were attentive and even shared a butterzopf recipe, showing their commitment to guest satisfaction. The cozy room was impeccably clean, adding to the overall comfort of my stay. I appreciated the efforts made by the staff in recommending hikes in the area that made my trip even more enjoyable.

    The nearby beer garden and church bells made restful sleep difficult.

    charming location
    excellent breakfast
    kind staff
    parking issues

    The location across from St Mauritius Church offered charm, but be prepared for the bells ringing throughout the night. The breakfast spread had amazing local cheeses, yogurt, and fresh bread—definitely a highlight. I loved how the staff shared a butterzopf recipe after noticing my enthusiasm for the bread. The room was cozy and clean, creating a pleasant atmosphere. However, parking can be tricky. be careful of the local restrictions to avoid towing. Overall, a great stay with minor inconveniences.

    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    noisy environment
    outdated bathroom
    basic amenities

    Excellent cozy room with a delightful breakfast featuring local cheese and bread made my stay enjoyable. Staff members were particularly helpful, offering hiking tips and even a recipe when they noticed my interest in their delicious bread. However, the proximity to a noisy beer garden and frequent church bells made restful sleep a challenge, especially with windows open. Basic room amenities could use an update despite the cleanliness.

    We enjoyed our stay with our kids and two dogs. The breakfast spread was fantastic, featuring local goodies like fresh cheese and pastries. The staff was eager to help us plan family outings, including a nice hike nearby. Rooms were comfortable and cozy.

    My wife says that the noise from the beer garden kept us up at night.

    gluten-free options
    early check-in
    sauna amenities
    loud church bells

    I loved how I could check in early and hit the hiking trails right away. The breakfast spread had awesome gluten-free options! The sauna and the cozy leisure room provided great spots to relax after a long day exploring. Only downside was the church bells ringing at night, but I still managed to get some good sleep. just bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper! 😊
