Brilliant budget choice. Recommend.
Pros:

Excellent location, friendly staff, spotlessly clean - very quiet. Good value for money. Tea & coffee in room.

Cons:

Dated furnishing wise but as spotlessly clean didn’t worry us.

Pros:

Zentrale Lage, verhältnismäßig günstiger Preis (inkl. Frühstück), Fahrrad kann über Nacht in die Garage des Hotels gestellt werden

Cons:

Im Bad (und damit ein Stück weit auch im Zimmer) roch es muffig, als wäre es vor Kurzem noch ein Raucherzimmer gewesen. Alles am Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und wirkt, als hätte es dringend etwas Zuwendung nötig.

Pros:

Es un hotel perfecto para una estancia práctica y barata, ya que tienes todo cerca andando, la estación central (8 min), locales para tomar café y comer y supermercados. La habitación tiene un pequeño balcón y estaba perfectamente limpia y, han cambiado las toallas y han hecho las camas todos los días.

Cons:

Nada

Pros:

A nice gentleman warmed up rolls for my breakfast every day.

Cons:

The hotel is located in a typical tenement house, so due to the lack of an elevator, you have to climb the typically Dutch, steep and narrow stairs. The hotel is not very modern. It is also not the cleanest. The towels, which were changed daily, were always unwashed. I once found a cockroach in the bathroom. The location in the very center also means some noise coming from outside the window.
