Pros:

Very cozy room even if small (I was alone so got the small single room), with everything I needed in it. Also, almost the entire ceiling was a skylight (which could also be open) so a lot of light. Very clean. Staff always smiling and nice. Breakfast diverse and more than enough for me (presented as a small custom buffet for me, not a shared buffet for more, but I was the only one having breakfast at that time so I don't know if this is how it is always done). No noise from the other rooms in my experience (there seemed to be some noise isolation though it was not specified in the facilities section) but whatever happens on the hallway is very audible (did not bother me, there are only a few rooms anyway, it's a small hotel).

Cons:

Pillow could have been softer, ended up using one of the provided cushions which was way smaller but way softer and more relaxing.

Uitchecken was niet duidelijk. Onvriendelijk personeel. En balie onbemand.
Pros:

Het ontbijt was perfect. Van alles en ruime keuze. Ook luxe producten.

Cons:

De kamer viel me erg tegen. Ik had het gevoel dat ik in een linnengoedkast sliep op de gang. 80 euro vind ik te veel, je kunt niet naar buiten kijken, het dakraam is wel fijn.
