Pros:

Mooi ruime kamer en perfecte locatie en uitzicht
Ontbijt was prima niet bijzonder

Cons:

In de nacht zeer veel last gehad van luidruchtige buren helaas was alles ook erg gehorig
Bij het uitchecken werd ook niet gevraagd hoe het verblijf was dus konden ons verhaal niet doen
Verder was alles heel schoon echter de grote spiegel in de kamee was erg vies wat weer tegen viel.

Beside the great location the hotel was a deception.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Room in the attic. Noices all nights of things moving in the roof. Smells of food as of 4-5:00 am.
Breakfast was the worst I ever had in an hotel.
Parking at 30€ while given a paper stating 25€. Same prices as the parking around for a spot outside in the hotel courtside.

Pros:

L’hotel si trova nelle immediate vicinanze del bellissimo castello di Gravensteen, in posizione centralissima. Molto pulito, l’hotel è all’interno di un palazzo storico dalle stanze generose e soffitti altissimi
