Pros:

Friendly, pleasant staff

Cons:

There was no lift, bedroom on 3rd floor with a steep staircase. Not good when, as I am, you are 82 with heart and lung illnesses.
The room was tiny, built into the roofspace with inward sloping walls.
The room was unbearably hot. A large fan with a broken stand was provided. The fan was very powerful, very large and very noisy.
The taps to the sink and shower were almost impossible to turn on and off.
The shower cubicle was really tiny.
The lights worked ok but the wifi often disengaged with strange messages.
Towels were provided and everything was clean. But wit unusable taps we couldnt risk a shower and left the hotel feeling unclean.
The hotel was at the end of the town and a l I ng walk in the heat.
Adjacent free parking was good.
I would never revisit.

Zeer goed.
Pros:

Alle comfort (kamer) maar heel klein maar gezellig. Ontbijt zeer goed. Avondeten ietjes beperkte menu voor 4 dagen .. Locatie kan niet beter zijn voor vertrekpunten en bezoeken. Niet duur maar veel waarde voor je geld.

Cons:

Menu avondeten ietjes beperkt. Voor 5 dagen verblijf begin je terug aan hetzelfde. Maar alles was zeer lekker .

Indigne d'un 3 étoiles
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel

Cons:

Je n'ai pas apprécié, une fois installée à ma table pour le petit déj, de trouver une dizaine de petits vers blancs dans la tranche de jambon cuit. La seule réponse de l'employé à qui nous en avons fait part a été :"A whouai". Aucune excuse et encore moins de geste commercial. Je regrette de ne pas avois pris de photo pour pouvoir demander un contrôle des cuisines
