The problems with cleanliness and ventilation that others have mentioned matched what I experienced. Several things made the stay disappointing, and I can't recommend the hotel. Getting there was difficult from the start. Although I'd booked ahead, the reception at the attached restaurant was extremely unfriendly and demanded cash right away. They told me they only took debit cards or cash and pointed out that there was a bank nearby. I had neither a debit card nor enough cash, so I had to leave to withdraw money. That doesn't seem up to current standards. My second-floor room faced a busy main road. The single-pane windows seemed old, and their frames no longer shut properly, so they did little to block the noise. I could sleep well only during the quieter hours at night. The shower and toilet looked recently renovated, but the shower still had residue from what seemed to be poor cleaning after the previous guest. The toilet seat also looked as if it hadn't been cleaned. It took about 15 minutes for the hot water to reach a usable temperature. The heating was completely off when I arrived. The central system seemed to be in summer mode, so turning on the radiator made no difference. At night I had to use the spare blanket from the double bed.

I stayed at the Sonne for 11 days while working and was very happy with it, despite the negative comments I’ve seen. The owner greeted me warmly at check-in, showed me my room, and gave me a quick introduction to the hotel. I ate at the restaurant several times and had no complaints about the broad menu, food quality, or staff. I love ordering schnitzel and hearing it being pounded in the kitchen. To me, that’s a sure sign it’s freshly prepared rather than pre-made. I could go on about it, but I’ll just say I highly recommend the hotel. If work brings me back to the area, I’ll stay there again.

Breakfast was good 👍, but I wouldn't recommend the rooms. Our double room was very dirty and clearly hadn't been aired out for a long time. They should at least have swept it before we arrived, especially since they knew guests were coming. The place needs renovation, and being right on the main road doesn't help. The windows are single-glazed and don't work properly.

We were eight people, and every one of us found the food inedible. The sauces especially were far too salty, and the different dishes were all unpleasant to eat. Service made the evening worse. The restaurant was practically empty, but staff seemed annoyed from the start and were unfriendly. We had to call out to get attention, and eventually even phoned the restaurant to ask for water after our glasses had been empty for ages. The food was incredibly salty too. They offered two desserts on the house after we complained. It was a nice gesture, but nowhere near enough to make up for the experience. We won't be back, and strongly advise others against going. Please warn people!

I went with my family for my grandma's birthday, and we all left outraged. The food was inedible from being so heavily salted. I usually add plenty of salt myself, but I still couldn't eat it. The fries were the only thing that wasn't oversalted. The service was just as upsetting. My grandma had ordered a Coke Zero but was given a regular Coke, so I politely went to the bar to mention the mix-up. The man behind the counter looked at me almost disgustedly and yelled, asking why I'd already given her a free drink. The waitress fortunately told him she had given it to her, and he silently replaced it. I thought maybe it was just a bad day, but then heard other people had the same experience. I'm completely dissatisfied and hope the restaurant sees this and works on it.
