Goed voor 1 nacht
Pros:

Mooie locatie, prima diner en ontbijt. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel

Cons:

Het dekbed was te smal en te kort. Bovendien is het erg gehorig, de deuren maken erg veel lawaai als ze dichtvallen

Pros:

Nice room, good value.

Cons:

There are thin walls and you can hear your neighbors. Noises from the outside hall echo and can be loud. These are rooms above a bar and a restaurant, you check in with the bartender but this was not described or explained to us so check-in was confusing.
