Alles was goed; personeel, kamers, prijs, ontbijt, locatie. Genoten van dit hotel :-)
Pros:

Hoewel midden in de stad was het toch erg stil, misschien is dit per kamer anders, dat zou kunnen. Maar wij hadden een echt een hele stille plek, dat verwacht je niet zo midden in het centrum. Het hele interieur was een bezienswaardigheid, ook in de kamer zelf. Goed en groot bed en mega groot 2 persoonsbad!
Er was geen eigen parkeerplek meer, maar parkeren in de Q park garage vlakbij werd vergoed, dus keurig opgelost.

Ik kom graag weer, maar de bediening moet beter en de douche ook!
Pros:

Personeel: slome dame. Verkeerde bestelling, vieze tafel. Ze zag niet eens de etensresten van de vorige gebruiker. Toen kwam alleen de koffie voor mijn gezelschap, die van mijzelf was vergeten (!) die ook nog lauw was.
ik was dusdanig geirriteerd over de viee tafel, de slaechte bediening en de lauwe koffie dat ik ben opgestapt en elder koffie heb gedronken.

Douche: die was harstikke lauw.
Al met al een grote teleurstelling voor een kamer die verder perfect in orde is, maar die tegenviel vanwege het lauwe douchen.

Cons:

Personeel en douche
