Pleasant stay in the town center
Pros:

Good location near town center. Lots of eateries nearby. The room was spacious and bright and the balcony - we booked the room with balcony - was nice to have breakfast or a glass of wine. Elevator to the upper floors, room service if wanted, comfy large bed, decent fridge, cutlery and dishes. The carpark is tight but we managed to get our car in.

Cons:

Even though it's a hotel, reception is open only from 12 to 6 p.m. which means a lack of personal touch.

Perfecte locatie en goedkoop
Pros:

Het hotel lag midden in het centrum en op loopafstand van winkels, strand (niet zwemmen) en horeca.

Cons:

Zou leuk zijn als er soort van buiten is om even lekker te relaxen aan eind van de dag, maar ach op straat op het terras was ook lekker toeven

Nice relaxing stay. Clean, neat, and comfortable stay.
Pros:

Very central location, short walk to town, shops, and other attractions. Supermarkets only minutes away also. Room was comfy. Airconditioning was effective, great blockout curtains. Room fronted street so wondered if we'd hear traffic, but no problems. Facility is old, but kept quite neat and clean.
Parked car over the road in the multi-level park no issues. Download Parkmate app. Easy.

Cons:

Park around the corner (Cliver Square) had quite a few 'dodgy' (I know judgemental aren't I) characters. Wifey didn't feel safe walking through there, and I wouldn't after evening. Not the hotel's problem, but something to note.

Pros:

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Zuwenig Parkplätze, aber Superregelung der Kostenübernahme vom gegenüberliegenden Parkhaus.
Absolute zentrale Toplage, so dass man gut auf das Auto verzichten kann.

Cons:

Es wird kein Frühstück angeboten, was nicht tragisch ist. Gegenüber im alten Feuerwehr-Gebäude existiert eine sehr gute Alternative.
