A nice hotel next to the zoo, but nothing else around. So no where to walk for food or drinks. So unless you can drive food and drink only possible at hotel. Restaurant for dinner was nice and food good, bar seemed tucked out of the way and didn’t find it till later after dinner. Breakfast expensive at over 20 euro per person and not big selection either. But enough to have a good start to the day. Check out is 12 which is very good and free parking available if you can get the spots outside the hotel.
