passable
Pros:

Bien placé, petit déjeuner inclus

Cons:

Très mal isolé on entend les autres tousser, chambre beaucoup plus étroite qu'attendue.
La douche n'a pas de rebord donc préparez vous à mouiller tout le sol de la salle de bain

Zentraler Ausgangspunkt um die Stadt zu erkunden
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind winzig und die Nasszellen ein wenig abenteuerlich. Trotzdem ist alles da, was gebraucht wird und das Frühstück ist toll. Wer eine Unterkunft sucht, die wunderbar zentral liegt, ist hier sicherlich gut beraten.

Pros:

Location is good. Close to city center.

Cons:

The comfort of the boat hotel was not very good, and there was some noise from boat itself during our stay. Breakfast is normally served at 9 a.m., but since we had to check out early at 6 a.m., the host did not arranged breakfast for us in advance.

Gewoon
Pros:

De ligging is ideaal.

Cons:

Er staat in dat men dagelijks schoonmaakt. De keuken ja,…..
De kajuiten zijn in twee dagen niet schoongemaakt. Je krijgt 1 badhanddoek en 1 gewone handdoek. Kajuit wordt niet opgepoetst en het bed wordt niet proper gelegd. Wij vonden het niet hygiënisch. Gratis fruitsappen werden niet bijgevuld, de bloemen stonden rottend op de tafels. De leefruimte was iets netjes, maar de rest,….. dikke tegenvaller

I don't think I want to go anywhere else for my next visits!
Pros:

Very cozy, squaeky clean and located right in the center of town. Best alternative to super expensive or cheap &dodgy accommodation in town. The breakfast buffet is is complete with salty and sweet options and generally fresh and inviting. Frank is very friendly and hospitable.

Cons:

The only thing I was missing was more plugs ion the cabin to charge electronics.

Una opción fantástica. Todo bien
Pros:

La ubicación, a 15 minutos andando de la estación central.

El barco está muy cuidado, la habitación es pequeña pero muy bien aprovechada, cama cómoda, buen nórdico y almohada.

El desayuno es bastante variado, todo está bien presentado.

Frank es encantador, hace que te sientas muy cómodo. Tiene a cualquier hora café, zumo, agua, galletitas o fruta a disposición de los clientes.

Pone muy buena música en el salón.

Un acierto, nos encantó.

Cons:

Todo bien, la verdad.
