I enjoyed my stay at Hotel Gertrudenhof, appreciating the clean and comfortable room, as well as the friendly staff who were always ready for a chat. The breakfast was quite good, served in a cozy setting. However, I found the bed a bit hard for my liking and struggled with the absence of tea or coffee facilities in the room. After a long drive, a warm cup would have been a nice touch.
