Prima hotel, prima kamer, op een uitstekende locatie.
Pros:

Ik had een (zeer ruime!) zolderkamer. Mooi, sfeervol onder het puntdak, met een uitzicht op een gracht.

Cons:

Ontbijt was basic. (Viel niet tegen hoor, want ik had ook niet heel veel meer verwacht)

Good location. Exactly as advertised.
Pros:

Very central and close to the train station.

Cons:

The stairs. I had a checked bag and it took two of us to get it up the stairs. I emptied it and repacked at the bottom of the stairs when I checked out.

Pros:

Leuke locatie. Weinig rumoer.

Cons:

Beetje oud, wel schoon. Chemische luchtverfrisser lucht was echt niet te harden. Half uur twee deuren tegen elkaar opengezet. Geen idee wat daar nu de bedoeling van was.
