AVOID THIS PLACE
Pros:

Location

Cons:

One of the worst places I ever stayed! Had to be there for a night due to an emergency in our previous booking. Requested early access because had to leave the other hotel early and was denied. When got to the hotel, the room was dirty! Dust, spider webs and humid! Like the room was closed for a long period of time. Save your money and go to other place, even in the case of an emergency!!!

Cons:

The shower did not work in my room , and there was no solution or alternative offered.
The rooms need renovations and a review of current safety standard.
This is not good value for money , would not stay here as a solo traveller

I didn’t stay because it was egregiously bad.
Pros:

The room was uninhabitable

Cons:

The room was uninhabitable. It was dirty and looked like it had not been cleaned in years. I had to last minute find another hotel to stay in

Never booking this hotel again.
Cons:

Very unclean hotel- Mould in the bathrooms, dusty sheets and sticky floors. Unacceptable- we had booked this hotel for guests and they checked themselves out immediately on seeing the state of the rooms.

Verschrikkelijk goor junkenhol

NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!
Pros:

Absolutely nothing.

Cons:

Absolutely everything. I have sent in a review and it is the worst excuse for a hotel that we have ever stayed in. This should be visited by a Booking.Com rep and inspected then removed from the booking system. Unbeluevably bad.
