Aanfluiting voor deze prijs
Pros:

Mooi hotel en nette kamer

Cons:

De kamer was bloedheet, geen airco en een slecht klimaatsysteem waardoor het 29 graden in de kamer was ( ‘s nachts) Personeels kan geen Nederlands en praat amper tegen je.

Good alternative to pricey hotels downtown
Pros:

Quiet, esp. on weekends, as located in business area. Easy access from highway. Clean rooms, breakfast is nothing too fancy but okay to start the day.

Cons:

Not happy with parking fees and, but this is rather subjective, the beer at the bar (this wouldn‘t keep me from coming back though!)

Toller Aufenthalt

Sehr gutes Frühstück. Sehr nettes und hilfreiches Personal. Abschließbarer Fahrrad Unterstand.

A événement exceptionnel solution exceptionnelle !
Pros:

Tout commentaire doit tenir compte que sans climatisation il n’est pas possible d’être objectif ! 26,4 degrés dans la chambre en soirée et 24 degrés toute la nuit ! Et comme seul geste commercial un Pepsi et une limonade pour nous rafraîchir ! Je ne m’attendais pas à une telle misère !

Eens maar nooit meer
Pros:

De ligging van het hotel.

Cons:

Erg onvriendelijk personeel, het moment dat je aankomt bij de receptie kan er nog geen hallo gezegd worden. Wanneer je vraagt of je reservering kan maken voor het restaurant, krijg je eerst een diepe zucht. Bij het bestellen van drinken duurt het 20 min eer je een koude cola ontvangt (het was die dag 34 graden). Daarnaast ontvang je eerst half gebakken friet, en 15 min later het bestelde gerecht, waarbij ik me afvraag of het geen opwarm maaltijd was, opgediend op een net bord voor presentatie. Om 04.45 uur kwamen luidruchtige buren hun kamer binnen. Deze bleven luidruchtig wakker. Bij reservering en aankomst gevraagd om een rustige kamer.. erg dure overnachting voor de kwaliteit die je ervoor terug krijgt.

goed genoeg voor ons doel
Pros:

perfect voor ons doel , een stop en go locatie als tussenstop voor onze motor rondreis.
het ontbrak ons aan tijd om Utrecht te bezoeken.
openbaar vervoer naar de stad bereikbaar tussen de 5 en 8 minuten

Cons:

blijkbaar rekent men soms 20€ voor een auto parkeerplaats.
vrij warm geen airco; maar we zitten dan ook in een uitzonderlijke periode met deze hittegolf.
bij normale temperaturen goede prijs kwaliteit
