"Over €100/night for a very basic room with window straight onto a busy road is too much. A very noisy family group let the children play outside their room in a tiled hallway which was not conducive to restful sleep. Disappointed that the buns at breakfast were warmed in the oven rather than fresh. The Latte Macchiato this morning was made with sour milk which is an acquired taste, though not mine."

"Pension zur Sonne ist eigentlich ein Gästehaus ohne direkten Ansprechpartner. Man zieht seine Zimmerkarte aus einem Automaten. Wen das nicht stört und gerne Treppen steigt, ist dort gut aufgehoben. Parken direkt vor der Tür. Wenige Meter zum Bäcker, Gasthaus und Getränkemarkt. "
