Fantastisch ligging, maar tijd voor renovatie
Pros:

Super locatie en sfeervolle kamer met goede airco. Warm water. Met dichte ramen nauwelijks last van de straat. Prijs was redelijk in verhouding voor het aangebodene.

Cons:

Geluidsoverlast van schoonmakers en super gehorig in algemeen.
Wij hadden een prachtige kamer maar verlichting was niet toereikend. Doordat je rondom de kamer inkijk had, kon je de geblindeerde gordijnen niet open doen waardoor het nog donkerder was. Tip hang semi transparante gordijnen voor de ramen.
Koffiecups van de allergoedkoopste kwaliteit. Alle haakjes komen los uit de muur.
Lift was voortdurend bezet omdat personeel deze lift ook gebruikte.
Matrassen waren matig maar werden wel na ons verblijf vervangen.
Zeer slechte afzuiging in badkamer, waardoor alles klam was na douchen. Douchen in badkuip
Enorm veel mails van het hotel om in te checken en uit te checken.
Kortom! Een beetje verouderd en uit de tijd. Tijd voor renovatie.

The perfect location, an astounding view, the 5th floor (attic) room was a great value.
Pros:

We had one of the attic rooms with a heart-stopping view of the catedral. The room was small but designed so as to not feel small. It was fun to see how cleverly the room was designed.

Cons:

The elevator worked reliably but was very small.

Un bel hôtel, l'accueil est très sympathique mais très bruyant du fait de sa situation.
Pros:

Accueil très sympathique et très professionnel, propreté impeccable et excellent petit déjeuner. Hôtel très bien situé, face à la cathédrale, du coup très bruyant jusqu'à 3 h du matin. En outre le rapport qualité/prix n'est pas très bon, chambre, et surtout petit-déjeuner assez chers.

Cons:

Rien, mais je n'avais pas apprécié l'impact de la situation en plein centre-ville pour le bruit.
