Do not book there if you have asthma.
Pros:

Nothing. We had to leave and we were out two nights of pre-paid stays. See comment below.

Cons:

The fact that the room was filled with cooking odours from the kitchen below. The same with the small window in the room that opens to the kitchen exhaust. We were in the room for 5 minutes and felt our lungs contracting. Yes, it is an old house, but nobody wants to sleep in the kitchen and in a health hazard. The owners were unfriendly and not agreeable to anything. So we left. We both have asthma and gas stoves or heavy odours set us off. Had we known how bad it would be we would have never booked two days there. No refund. Nothing. Very sad. Beware.

Pros:

How cute the rooms were decorated and the wonderful selections at breakfast. Location was wonderful for browsing the city. Very charming. Hosts were very friendly!

Cons:

It was a little hard to know which room we were to go in. I think the keys could be labeled better.

Pros:

Midden in het oude stadscentrum, in een oud historisch pand ,echt gewoon schattig hotelletje.
Kamers scheef,en krakende vloer, precies zoals het hoort in een oud pand!
Brandschoon en heerlijke bedden.
Heel stil in de nacht.
Ontbijt (maar 10 euro) was meer dan goed♡

Cons:

Het is jammer dat het restaurant op maandag en dinsdag gesloten is, wij konden er helaas niet dineren.
Schijnt echt heel goed te zijn, staan erg hoog aangeschreven, misschien toch maar een keer voor terug komen dan😅

Very historical feeling, everything you need, very clean and I’d stay here again.
Pros:

Historical. Low door entries, watch out. Nice restaurant on site. Helpful when we arrived late at 10pm - but don’t do that to them! Sorry Alter Keller.

Cons:

Nothing stands out.
