Leuk verblijf
Pros:

Vlakbij centrum Gent, lekker ontbijt met verschillende soorten brood, kleine maar propere kamer. Je kon beneden een drankje uit de ijskast nemen om lekker op de kamer te consumeren en s morgens gewoon afrekenen, super!

Cons:

Kamer was vrij klein, waardoor doorgang naast het bed heel smal was.
