    A very speciel hotel with memories and machines from earlier in the restaurant. Nice to have diner in the evening in the "Biergarden" - very close to the river. From our room door to a terrace with view to the river.

    This is the second time that we have stayed here. The venue has good parking, the rooms are nice a clean. Breakfast is good. The restaurant is excellent. The hotel is on a quiet residential street but within walking distance of the town centre.
