Sejour très agréable et personnel de l'hotel accueillant. Adresse à retenir!
Pros:

Très bon emplacement et proche des commerces et du centre ville.
Il est très facile de se promener à pied en partant de l'hotel pour visiter la ville. Le petit train passe à quelque mettre de l'établissement. Le personnel est à l'écoute et très accueillant. Les femmes de ménage sont très aimables et souriantes.

Cons:

si l'on tombe sur des voisins bruyants, on peut regretter le manque d'isolation des murs.

Niet aanbevolen
Pros:

Er is airco beschikbaar en het is een ruime kamer. Je krijgt een woonkamer, badkamer, balkon en slaapkamer. Goed verduisterend gordijn is slaapkamer tegen het licht

Cons:

Om eerlijk te zijn hadden wij niet verwacht dat het hotel zo gedateerd zou zijn. Bij binnenkomst viel meteen op dat de tapijten in de aankomsthal dringend aan vervanging toe zijn. Ook de rest van het interieur oogt verouderd en totaal niet modern. Met goede service zou dat nog door de vingers te zien zijn, maar helaas was dat niet het geval. Gelukkig verbleven wij hier slechts één nacht.

De badkamer was ronduit teleurstellend: er zat schimmel in de voegen, er waren gele aanslagresten zichtbaar en er hing een onaangename geur, waardoor we de deur steeds gesloten moesten houden.

Ook de muren van de kamers hadden vlekken en waren duidelijk aan een frisse verfbeurt toe.

Het bed bestond uit twee losse bedden die tegen elkaar waren geschoven en daardoor voortdurend uit elkaar schoven zodra je erop lag. Erg oncomfortabel, zeker voor twee personen. Daarnaast was er ’s avonds veel tocht te horen, wat het slapen niet aangenamer maakte.

Er hing een tv in de slaapkamer die van het stroom was afgehaald, deze had niet eens apps zoals YouTube of Netflix.


Het ontbijt was de druppel. Bij het inchecken is ons niet verteld dat dit €10 per persoon extra zou kosten. Ook niet toen wij ons kamernummer doorgaven bij aankomst in de ontbijtzaal. Pas ná het eten werden we luid van een afstand nageroepen door een medewerker met de mededeling dat we moesten bijbetalen. Dit voelde bijzonder klantonvriendelijk. Helemaal omdat het aanbod zeer beperkt was: een kom cornflakes, een broodje met chocola en een croissant.

Kortom: wij waren opgelucht dat ons verblijf maar één nacht duurde en kunnen dit hotel helaas niet aanbevelen.

Furniture of room feels outdated
Pros:

Pool view is great at the balcony and the room is relatively large.

Cons:

While there is a kitchen provided, there is no cleaning products to wash the dishes that would allow us to cook. Furthermore the bed was terrible which affects our sleep. The air-conditioning is also sounded relatively loud. TV is not directly in front of sofa which was a weird configuration.
