Prachtig historisch hotel op toplocatie. Geen enkele last van vol terras.
Pros:

Uitstekend ontbijt. Enige minpuntje was geen volkoren brood.
Wij vonden vooral de staf enorm behulpzaam. Konden snel naar de kamer. We mochten onze bagage bij de receptie zetten voor vertrek. Welkomstdrankje kwam ook erg sympathiek over.

Cons:

Niets.
