Hotel Scheuble
"The location is excellent, and the staff are commendable. However, the primary concern was the absence of hot water pressure in the shower. Despite multiple requests, the staff appeared unable to resolve the issue. If a hot shower is a priority for your vacation, this is a factor to consider."

"The hotel is nice and the staff is very polite and kind. However, I think there is room for improvement and the hotel should be more flexible for guests arriving in the morning and try to check them in earlier than the official time of 15pm."
