Heel erg onder de maat
Pros:

Het personeel was vriendelijk

Cons:

Het restaurant (prijs- kwaliteit heel matig), ontbijt (weinig keuze alles was al bijna op om 9u), rare vlekken op de vloerbekleding, schimmel op alle randen van de douche, Trap van het buitenzwembad zat los (niet veilig), trappenhuis lijkt die van een verlaten pand.

Pros:

Rent och fräscht.

Cons:

Poolen var inte uppvärmd. Hade jag vetat det hade vi inte bokat detta hottellet. Hårda kuddar, duschtvål var slut och handtvålen tog slut. Toaletten var separat med egen dörr och handfat/dusch låg bredvid. Trots att det stod att rummen är ljudisolerade hördes mycket ljud från andra hotellgäster som sent in på kvällen knackade på dörrar och sprang i korridoren.

Zwembad
Pros:

We waren er tijdens een hittegolf dus het buitenzwembad was ons geluk bij dit hotel, al hebben gasten allerlei brood verpakkingen laten liggen op het gras buiten, dit lag er op dag 3 nog steeds.

Cons:

Het is redelijk op afstand van andere bezienswaardigheden/restaurants etc. Je zit minstens 20 minuten in de auto. Daarnaast had een beveiliger mij verteld dat we de volgende dag tot 14:00 kosteloos konden uitchecken zonder extra kosten. Nou de volgende dag mochten we er €35 voor neer tikken. We dachten wel even te kunnen lunchen in het hotel, maar dat kan blijkbaar niet op zondag, dus we waren alsnog op tijd weg, toen hebben we alsnog onze €35 teruggekregen dus dat was wel netjes. De zogenoemde airco als je dit hotel googled is een waaier die heen en weer kan. Ook het zwembad mag vaker schoongemaakt worden, er lag behoorlijk wat viezigheid op de bodem.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Very noisy rooms. You could hear everything happening in the whole corridor. There was nothing for breakfast although we came down relatively early at 8.30h. Pancake machine and all coffee machines were not working, all jam and honey pots were empty, yogurt station was empty, no water no juice, no scrambled eggs…. Nothing. There was a pot with boiled eggs that looked horrendous, cracked, blue and dry from the inside like there being served for 7 days in a row. The reception lady gave me some free water and offered Kit Kats which I didn’t took as it’s not really a proper breakfast for a 5 years olds.
