Leuke sfeer en super airco
Pros:

Heel leuke sfeer in het gebouw, de bar en binnenplaats. Heerlijk goed werkende airconditioning op de kamer die al goed aanstond toen we uit de hitte binnen kwamen. Fijn bed ook. Dubbele wastafels.

Cons:

Badkamer was niet echt handig ingericht. Deurtje van de douche sloot te ver naar binnen.
Het eten was matig (behalve de zalmtartaar en de mosterdsoep, die waren top).

Loved it, very quirky place and we would stay again!
Pros:

The location was in the center and close to everything. The checkin was smooth and they gave us a free upgrade to nicer rooms. It was quiet, and we could leave our bags at the hotel on checkout.

Cons:

Nothing. It was all good.

Lijkt beter dan het is
Pros:

Centrum locatie

Cons:

Stijle trappen 3 hoog met verleten tapijt en verveloze leuningen. Een airco die afven toe een hard geluid maakt.
Geen lichtschakelaars bij het bed.
En bed met rubberen onderdekens die sterk ruiken.
Een erg beperkt ontbijt met droge scrambled eggs.
Een garage app die niet werkt.

Pros:

Ze vonden nog een heel stille kamer. Hij was klein maar fijn en het personeel hielp met de koffer naar de kamer brengen. Ik moest werken dus kwam laat aan en ging vroeg weg. Ze waren heel aardig en ondanks dat het midden in de stad ligt het ik heerlijk geslapen

Pros:

Zimmergrösse war Super und das Bett bequem. Haben nach einem sauberen Zimmer gefragt und haben einen upgrade erhalten

Cons:

Das zugewiesene Zimmer war nicht Sauber und roch muffig. Ein viel zu hoher Preis. Es müsste mal General überholt werden. Das Frühstück ist das Geld nicht wert. Sehr Unaufmerksames Personal
