A well located hotel that we would look to stay at again.
Pros:

The staff were excellent, especially the female front counter staff and the kitchen staff. The room was a good size with effective air conditioning. Although not located in the heart of the city, the hotel was very well located. The light breakfast every morning was not extensive but very good.

Cons:

One lift malfunctioned and was out of action for a few days. The dehumidifier in the room was noisy at times.

Prima
Pros:

Goede prijs, lekkere bedden en inclusief ontbijt

Cons:

Heel erg gehorig. Wij hadden kamer 309 en dit was een familie kamer met een deur in de tussenmuur. En we hadden verschrikkelijke luidruchtige buren. Dus dat hadden we echt pech mee.

Clean and central for an overnight stay
Pros:

Location was central, clean room, friendly staff.

Noisy at night. For older people the shower in the bath might be an issue. Breakfast is quite basic but fine.
