Mükemmeldi
Pros:

Hotelin suit odasında konakladık. Banyosu ve saunası çok güzeldi. Hotelin temizliği, konumu, sunduğu imkanlar mükemmeldi. Personel güler yüzlü ve yardımcıydı. Bir çok ülkede bir çok hotelde konakladım ama burası en iyiler listemde ilk sıralarda yerini aldı. Herkese tavsiye ederim.

Prachtig hotel, ideale plek
Pros:

Prachtig hotel op perfecte locatie

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets. Een handdouche naast de regendouche zou fijn zijn, dan kun je ook douchen zonder dat je haar nat wordt. Daarnaast waren er weinig stopcontacten

Pros:

Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre geschuldet vor allem den freundlichen Mirarbeiter/inne/n, die Lage könnte zentraler nicht sein, das Zimmer war geräumig, das Bad (Badewanne und Dusche) war wirklich groß, das Frühstück lecker und schön angerichtet. Toll fand ich, dass man durchgängig Zugriff auf Tee und Kaffee hatte.

Cons:

Ich mag es nicht, wenn der Haartrockner an der Wand fest ist und nich dazu nur lau pustet, mir persönlich wäre auch mehr mit einer respektive zwei kleineneren Zudecke(n)gedient, aber das schmälert nicht den insgesamt sehr guten Eindruck.
