Für eine Nach vollkommen ausreichend
Pros:

Großes Zimmer.

Cons:

Keiner zum Einchecken da, musste selbst die Initiative ergreifen
Zimmertür hatte großen Spalt, dadurch waren Leute auf Flur zu hören.
Eine Sitzmöglichkeit im Zimmer wäre schön.

We hebben er helaas door een fout van boeking geen gebruik van kunnen maken.
Pros:

Mooie locatie

Cons:

Booking had een verkeerde datum doorgegeven die afweek van onze bevestiging. Het hotel was vol. Met moeite hebben ze naar andere opties gebeld. We hebben een paar dagen later nog om een aantal mails gevraagd die booking nodig had om onze boeking terug te betalen. Na veel telefoontjes is dit niet gelukt. Steeds beloftes maar deze niet nagekomen,
