Pros:

Your staff were excellent. Very attentive. Especially like to thank Irene on reception who was very helpful when I was not well the morning before check out.
Just a couple of things. Which I did not mention to staff.
1. Was disappointed the restaurant was not open.

2. My phone did not work in room. Had to use mobile to report I was not well.
Other than that an excellent stay.
Will hopefully be coming back again to stay

Cons:

See above.

Uitstekend hotel
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk personeel in het hotel. Erg behulpzaam met alles.

Cons:

De bedden vond ik toch minder goed slapen. Ik heb eerder in het Hilton geslapen waar de bedden minder hard waren.
