Sehr schöne Lage, nettes Haus, jedoch unzureichende Badezimmerbeleuchtung.
Pros:

Hübsches Haus mit nett gemachtem Zimmer (Dekor und Einrichtung).
Ordentliches Frühstück.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer war durch eine Schiebetür abgetrennt, die nach oben offen war. Die Beleuchtung des Badezimmers erfolgte lediglich durch eine Hauptlampe im Schlafraum. Wenn man ins Bad musste, hätte man das ganze Zimmer beleuchten müssen müssen.

A great two day stay in Willemstad
Pros:

Everything really - room - breakfast - evening meal - location

Cons:

Lack of info on the water weekend - we arrived on Sunday afternoon to be stopped quite away out of the village and told Willemstad was closed off - when told we were staying at Hep Wapen we were told we could go park up and walk to the hotel to book in - we collected our bags later, so not a total disaster!!!!

Normaal, niet voor een huwelijksnacht
Pros:

Het was prima. De kamer was schoon. Verder niet speciaal.

Cons:

De prijs is hoog als je het vergelijkt met de kwaliteit en de service. Kamer was klein en had alleen een dakraam. Verder ook geen extra service voor onze huwelijksnacht. Personeel was totaal niet servicegericht.

De bedden waren zeer slecht
Pros:

Prima locatie

Cons:

Geboekt tweepersoonskamer met 2 aparte bedden met uitzicht op de Haven.
Het bed bleek een tweepersoonsbed van ca 150 cm breed te zijn met daarop twee aparte eenpersoons dunne matrassen. Deze staken aan beide zijden dus 15 cm uit, waardoor je moest oppassen om niet uit bed te rollen.
Uitermate knullig
