quick actioncastle viewbuffet choice
the staff promptly assisted when i requested the beds separated in the room (i did appreciate this quick action). i had a view of the castle from my window. the breakfast buffet offered many choices.
parking spaces in the garage below seem very small (this might be challenging for larger vehicles).

Acceptable Location but Room Issues

good locationsmall roomold equipment
The location proved beneficial. It sits atop the garage and the tram station for trips to the castle.
The room was smaller than anticipated. The equipment seemed aged and not everything on the TV worked correctly, for example RTL. There was no air conditioning and the breakfast was very simple.
