Voor een nachtje helemaal prima
Pros:

Comfortabel bed en de locatie was perfect, midden in het centrum.

Cons:

Inchecken alsof het een airbnb is en voor 1 nacht vond ik het extreem duur. Klein hotel, hele smalle stijle trappen en kleine kamer.

Pros:

Die Lage. Inmitten der Altstadt in einem für die Niederlande typischen Altstadt - Gebäude. Alles fußläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Das Zimmer wäre für leicht Gehbehinderte nicht erreichbar, da es nur über eine extrem steile und schmale Treppe zu erreichen ist. Aus dem Bad verbreiteten sich aus dem Abfluss unangenehme Gerüche. Das Frühstück für die angegebenen 12,50€ enthielt nur einen Bagel, einen Joghurt mit Früchten, Tasse Kaffee und Saft aus der Flasche. Außerdem musste es in einem extrem kalten, unbeheizten Raum eingenommen werden. Wir haben ein Frühstück bei einem hervorragenden Bäcker vorgezogen .

Pros:

De kamer was erg mooi. Geen standaard hotelkamer, maar een kamer met karakter. Nette douche met toilet. Goed bed. Niet gebruikt, maar wel sfeervol was de haard. De locatie was top, midden in het centrum.

Cons:

De locatie is zo centraal dat het vlakbij een cafe ligt. Toen het cafe sloot hoorde je wel even wat mensen op straat. Mijn zus heeft er doorheen geslapen, ik heb het toevallig wel gehoord maar het was binnen 30 min voorbij.
