Bis auf die Probleme bei der Rechnungserstellung ist das Hotel gut.
Pros:

Die Lage und die Möglichkeit in der Bar Fußball zu schauen.

Cons:

Extrem ärgerlich war, dass das Hotel keine korrekte Rechnung (mit VAT und Rechnungsempfänger) ausstellen konnte. Wer geschäftlich reist, sollte dieses Hotel meiden, sonst gibt es Schwierigkeiten beim buchen der Reise.

Cons:

Morgenmaden var direkte kedelig.
Der står i beskrivelsen at der er ladestander på hotellet. Det er der også, men den virker ikke og har åbenbart ikke virket i længere tid. Det er virkelig træls når man kører i en elbil og regner med at man kan lade under opholdet og vælger at betale for parkering på hotellet men så ikke kan lade.

Pros:

De ligging en vriendelijkheid van het personeel

Cons:

Het ontbijt is way over priced. 25 euro per persoon voor middelmatige koffie, platte croissants, gestoomd spek,... in een veel te kleine niet inspirerende ruimte.
