Bien pour une halte
Pros:

Hôtel facile d'accès, parking dédié gratuit, chambres spacieuses, confortables et silencieuses. Le petit déjeuner est copieux et délicieux. Personnel très efficace à l'accueil. Très bon système d'informations par WhatsApp avant d'arriver (itinéraire, etc.).

Cons:

Dommage de devoir ajouter 19€ par personne pour le petit déjeuner : vu le prix élevé de la chambre et le standing, il devrait être compris. L'hôtel est situé au cœur d'un parc aux oiseaux qui se visite mais... il est fermé en semaine en basse saison ! Bon à savoir...

de service was goed en de kwaliteiten van vandervalk zie je terug!
Pros:

onbijt was goed! alles was verzorgd en goed aangevuld. Uiteraard is er wel een groot veschil tussen afivauna en hotel schiphol maar hier was ik ook tevreden.

Cons:

de kamers waren wel verzorgd maar ik vond dat het interieur enorm verrouderd is en de badkamer is ook wel toe aan vernieuwing. De menukaart was ook niet zo groot.

pleasant.
Pros:

The atmosphere was nice. The staff were really helpful, though I stayed there for a very brief time. But the overall experience was OK.

Fijn wat verouderd hotel
Pros:

Een mooi wat verouderd hotel. Ruime kamers, douche en bad, goede bedden.
Vlotte incheck wat te vroeg.
Fijn dat je er ook nog iets kan drinken in de gezellige bar.
Goed ontbijtbuffet.

Cons:

Hier en daar ligt een tegel los en zijn de tapijten wat versleten.
