Pros:

aardig personeel en locatie

Cons:

kamer rook naar riool, ontbijt was karig, om 9 uur was bijna alles op. Televisie kon niet gebruikt worden, geluid deed het niet goed, programmakeuze ook niet.

Heerlijk ontspannen!
Pros:

De sfeer van de kamer is mooi. Hoewel een heel klein beetje meer kleur wel leuk zou zijn. De sauna beviel erg goed.

Cons:

Toch de kleine hoekjes bij het sanitair. De basis is prima schoon.

meh, it's decent enough in a pinch, but there are better places to stay in Alkmaar
Pros:

bike storage was great, rooms were clean

Cons:

pillows were horrible, the hot water kettle should not be combined with coffee maker, it taints the water, in general, I was expecting a classier experience, it felt polished but barebones at best
