Prima service
Pros:

Locatie is geweldig. Op de Grote Markt. Personeel is supervriendelijk. Ontbijt is heerlijk. Topservice. Heerlijk ouderwets hotel. Airco op kamer was top.

Matras was niet best. Werd twee keer met pijn in m’n rug wakker. Vloerbedekking op diverse plekken aan vervanging toe.

Pros:

The hotel was very cosy and clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. Did like the little things like the welcome postcard found on the bed on arrival and coffee machine downstairs that could be used at no charge.

Cons:

Although the rooms were clean they need a bit of an upgrade

Fijn verblijf
Pros:

Goede locatie aan het plein. Wel wat lawaaiig ‘s avonds maar ook heel gezellig. De sauna en badkamer waren geweldig!

Cons:

Niets noemenswaardig. Misschien het bed aan de hoge kant; als je klein bent zul je erop moeten klauteren…
