Mooi comfortabel hotel op prima locatie
Pros:

We hadden een fijne comfortabele suite met een balkonnetje, koelkastje, waterkoker, koffiezetapparaat en magnetron. De inrichting is moeilijk te omschrijven, gezien de vormgeving en kleuren waarschijnlijk jaren 80. De locatie was prima, 10 minuten lopen van het centrum. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk. Het ontbijt was uitgebreid. En we hebben heerlijk gegeten in de bijbehorende brasserie. Je kan in de buurt aan de straat parkeren, maar ook in de betaalde grote garage onder het hotel.

Cons:

Niets

Pros:

A very clean and comfortable hotel. We had a large corner room with view to the Parc. Breakfast was as expected, no comments. Personnel was very client focused and helped me to fix a small personal problem. At 20 meters you find a classy restaurant and a good brasserie. Plenty of parking.
