Very good would stay agsin
Pros:

We had 1 night stay. Greeted well by staff who were all very friendly. Breakfast was exceptional - continental and if you needed anything else just had to ask. Balcony to sit out with a drink, fridge in room. Would definitely recommend.

Cons:

The only down side is it's on the flight path just before planes turn northwards and they don't fly through the night but that isn't the fault of the owners.

Great value for money. Good location especially with public transport!
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and I was even allowed to leave my bag with them after checking out, so I could look round the market😁. My bed was made everyday with clean covers and new towels, and bins emptied. I saw some reviews saying the planes and boats were loud, I personally didn’t have any issues and slept right through the night, I am a deep sleeper though😂

Cons:

This isn’t the hotels fault, but the Wi-Fi wasn’t that great, especially when multiple people were using it at the same time. That’s really the only problem I had.

Top!
Pros:

De aardige receptionisten, de kamer was knus met een mooi balkon en tv!

Cons:

Er viel eigenlijks niks tegen, we zagen veel slechte reviews over het geluid van de vliegtuigen maar als je ‘s nachts de deur dicht houd en vooral door de stad heen loopt valt het geluid wel mee

Beds and shower were average but expected for the price.
