Aangenaam
Pros:

Kwaliteit van het hotel en vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

We hadden twee aparte bedden gevraagd. Het was een dubbel bed gelukkig wel aparte dekbedden. Toch ook aparte bedden verwacht.

Peut mieux faire pour un VandeValk
Pros:

L'emplacement, la qualité du petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Les lits ne sont vraiment pas confortable. Vous feriez mieux d'avoir une literie comparable au VanderValk de belgique. Plus ferme, moins de douleurs au dos le matin.
La salle de bain vieillotte, douche a l'américaine sans pommeau vraiment pas pratique pour se laver correctement.
