“Ich habe dieses Hotel als ersten Zwischenstopp auf meiner Rennsteigwanderung gewählt. Könnte mir aber auch vorstellen, das es für längere Aufenthalte auch ein super Domizil ist. Das Einzelzimmer sowie das dazugehörige Bad war sehr schön, sauber, ruhig und ich habe mich direkt wohlgefühlt. Herr Beck war super freundlich & das Frühstück hat auch gestimmt. Preis-Leistung stimmt dort auf jeden Fall. Ich komme definitiv wieder.”
