Pros:

Heerlijk ontbijt, midden in het centrum en heel vriendelijk personeel.
We mochten 15 minuten eerder ontbijten omdat onze trein zo vroeg ging. Dat vonden we heel aardig.

Pros:

The Bed was really good, everything was clean, good size of the room, liked the shower Cap and Shampoo and stuff.

Cons:

It was really dark and first thing was to open a window. Not because of a really bad smell, but a bit musty. There was no toilet brush, very thin toilet paper.

Amazing group stay
Pros:

I was organising my sisters hen party and from start to finish my experience with the Victoria Hotel was 10 out of 10. Marta was so helpful and made my life a lot easier when it came to the booking of it. When we arrived everything was so well organised. We were checked in so fast. Food was fab and the rooms were so clean and spacious. Beds so comfortable. The next day the breakfast was so nice aswell. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. We had not 1 complaint about the whole weekend. Will defo be back and would recommend to anybody.
