Pros:

Lokalizacja.

Cons:

Hotel jest 4 gwiazdkowy, ale śniadania są absolutnie nie warte żadnych pieniędzy. Warto pójść sobie do okolicznego Jumbo i kupić gotowe sandwiche. Łóżka były miękkie nie na nasze plecy.

Bijzondere locatie als oude school met overgebleven details in het centrum van Alkmaar
Pros:

De kamer was heel ruim en had een mooie ligging op de gracht. De badkamer was groot met een los bad en een wc achter de deur.
De bedden waren goed, wel wat aan de zachte kant. Als buikslaper was het kussen wat hoog.
Het ontbijt was goed, echter niet heel uitgebreid.
We konden de auto tegen betaling van €15 voor een dag op het terrein parkeren en liepen zo het centrum in.

Cons:

Er kwam niet veel water uit de douche.
Ondanks dat de kamer (101) heel fijn was, hebben we minder goed geslapen door de vlaggenmast die bleef tikken door de wind en was het wat gehorig door verkeer en mensen buiten.

mooi pand op een prima locatie
Pros:

Het historisch pand en de ligging. Prima bedden

Cons:

In de ontbijtruimte geen aankleding, waardoor de geluiden erg doorklonken. Nu zaten er erg weinig mensen, maar anders is het te veel lawaai. Ontbijt erg basic.

Für den Innenstadtbereich schöne Ausgangslage
Pros:

Top Lage für die Innenstadt. Eigener Parkplatz (jedoch etwas eng, wenn voll). Ruhig gelegen. Interessantes Gebäude (ehemalige Schule). Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter.

Cons:

Ausstattung recht spartanisch, Toilettensitz lose, kaum Ablagen. Hohe, da ehemalige Schulzimmer, und somit eher ungewohnt. Teure Ladesäulen (zumindest jedoch verfügbar).
