Schlechtes, in die Jahre gekommenes Hotel mit viel zu hohem Preis.
Pros:

Das Zimmer war recht groß.

Cons:

Das ganze Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen.
Badezimmer eine Katastrophe.
Das Restaurant war eine Bahnhofshalle, das Schwimmbad ein Witz.
Das Frühstück leider ungenügend.
Einige vom Personal waren bemüht.
Ich verstehe keine einzige positive Bewertung hier.

War o.k. gibt für das Preisniveau noch bessere in der Stadt
Pros:

Super freundlich und bemüht. Upgrade auf Family-Room. Frühstück war gut und Schwimmbad echt o.k.

Cons:

Ausstattung etwas dunkel gehalten.

Private Schwimmstubden im eh schon kleinen Becken wsten bei guter Auslastung echt eine Herausforderung

Prima hotel
Pros:

Het zwembad met spa ook al is het niet heel groot. En de ligging van het hotel.

Cons:

Restaurantpersoneel was niet altijd even opmerkzaam en duurt soms lang als het rustig is voordat iemand naar je toe komt. Ook met de hand opsteken of als je extra om aandacht vraagt.
