Het uitzicht is echt geweldig!
Pros:

We vonden het een erg fijn verblijf, fijn bed en lekker ontbijt! Alles was in de kamer. Een stopcontactverbinder voor de Zwitserse stekkers om mijn eigen föhn te gebruiken konden we gratis ophalen bij de receptie. Alles op loopafstand :)

Cons:

De boulevard was ons soms net wat te druk, (we boeken meestal natuurhuisjes) maar voor 3 dagen was het top!

We misten wel een tafeltje op het balkon :)
