Mooie kamers, maar jammer genoeg aan de straatkant met veel lawaai.
Pros:

Goeie bedden, prima douche!
Ligging in het centrum.

Cons:

Het straatlawaai. Eigenlijk is het een prachtige locatie, maar wij hadden pech dat op het pleintje een fuif bezig was met heel veel lawaai, en onze kamer lag dus aan die straatkant. Als dat lawaai stopte, hadden we in de vroege uurtjes toch ook wel wat straatlawaai van passerende jongeren.
Bij het ontbijt zat de zaal bijna helemaal vol en kon het personeel niet volgen met het opruimen van de tafels en de afwas van glazen en kommetjes. Dat was dus wat wachten en zoeken, en zelf personeel aanspreken om het in orde te maken... Maar verder wel genoeg keuze!
