The curtains were not large enough to cover the entire window, and after dark I wondered who could see me in the room. The bathroom was nice and updated but the shower water flowed onto the floor.

She was incredibly rude and started screaming at me when I informed her I would be spending one night instead of two. Literally screaming; it was humiliating. || If you're on a bike tour of the Danube, do not stay here because they do not provide a bicycle room. I had to leave my bike chained to a pole on the street and it was vandalized overnight. The entire stay was a...

Read moreWe originally visited for a quick local dinner, and were greeted uninspiringly (should have known then)||Main course and soup was OK although well over priced (and we’re living locally for several months visiting family - we’re not breezing through without local knowledge)||Desert - Marillen knödel was forgotten, and when we asked about is the answer was - the. Her forgot, not my fault as I’m just the waitress - really, FFS|An iced coffee was also served as the other desert, separately - so I waiting 15 minutes while the other came, which didn’t.||It was then served - cold - then brought ba k again, allot in half, the same serve, heated with microwave - not a fresh serve||To top off, the house red wine was served and we returned it as the wine was off (btw, I’m a trained taster re wine and beer, as am a brewer by trade) - at least tv e replaced that||Also btw - the iced coffee is the worst I’ve had - out of 3 - this week, and the most expensive and disappointing (I couldn’t finish it)||Lastly - checked the menu board before we sat down, only to be told - Oh, that’s wrong, we have a new price list which we will give you know - the prices have changed and that board is wrong !!|Really ?||Will never come back and suggest no one else...
