Dreckig und ekelhaft. Nie wieder...
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück. Gute Lage. Schönes altes Gebäude neu hergerichtet.

Cons:

Dreckig war das Zimmer. In der Toilette alter Schmutz, Spritzer und braune Flecken am Toilettenrand. Im Zimmer Haare und Staub. Duschkabine war auch nicht geputzt. Wirklich alter Schmutz. Ich war nur eine Nacht dort. Das hat auch gereicht.

Unieke setting.
Pros:

De locatie en setting is schitterend - ver onze verwachting overtroffen. Het is een unieke plaats met veel geschiedenis, een prachtig gebouw en binnentuin. Daarom geef ik een algemene 9/10.

Cons:

De badkamer was best oubollig en niet 100% spic en span zoals je zou verwachten voor de prijs - daarom geef ik een lagere score voor hygiëne, eerder een 5 of 6 (voldoende). Hoewel de kamer op zich dan wel weer netjes was.

Basic overnachting op wandelafstand van het centrum
Pros:

Zeer goede locatie, op wandelafstand van het centrum.

Cons:

Enkele zaken gemist op de kamer zoals bijv een haardroger, klein koelkastje. Ontbijt was ook heel basic

Sober maar comfortabel
Pros:

De locatie, midden in het centrum was erg prettig. Het is een mooi gebouw, sober gerenoveerd. Het ontbijt was prima. Het personeel was vriendelijk.

Cons:

Er waren geen faciliteiten. Dat was overigens bekend. Maar gezien de prijs had er wel wat meer in mogen zitten. Het was ook behoorlijk gehorig waardoor je midden in de nacht dronken andere gasten goed kon horen.
