Berghotel Hammersbach, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent
"The setting was beautiful and the room lovely although we did have mosquitoes in our room, probably because the window/door was open upon our arrival to give us fresh air. So we didn’t open it anymore and consequently we were very warm at night. The breakfast was quite good with lots of options. The pool was very nice and refreshing. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed Joseph, our waiter."
