Perfect location
Pros:

The location was absolutely spectacular! I did not have a lot of interaction with the staff, but that which I did was a very positive. The bed was comfortable and there is wine waiting for you when you get there. You pay for it, but it’s there. I did not partake in the breakfast, so I cannot mention that.

Cons:

My room was at the top of a very steep, narrow winding staircase. Was fine for me, but someone super tall or elderly could not do this so that should be noted.

Pros:

位置非常好。離公車站牌,市政廳等等地點都很近。房間古典大氣,因為在一樓沒有爬樓梯的問題。

Cons:

對面酒吧餐廳非常吵。午夜才關門。需要忍受噪音到凌晨。

Overpriced.
Cons:

Dit hotel is geen boutiquehotel, dit is een kamer met douche. Het bed is goed verder is alles gedateerd en een beetje armoedig. De foto’s suggereren iets anders. Het hotel is niet meer dan 125 euro waard dus afschuwelijk overpriced.

We komen zeker terug!
Pros:

De locatie is super, de kamer was koel, aangenaam en van alle verwachte gemakken voorzien (heerlijk, een douche met een douchedeur zodat niet de hele badkamer nat wordt tijdens het douchen!). Het bed lag heerlijk en lief dat er een flesje wijn lag (die we overigens niet hebben gebruikt, maar wellicht een volgende keer). Het ontbijt was erg lekker.

Cons:

Helaas was het koffieapparaat kapot en was er geen koffie beschikbaar tijdens het ontbijt. En bij het boeken las ik dat het ontbijt 12.50 zou kosten, maar dat was duidlijk niet aan de orde. We hebben uiteindelijk 15 euro pp betaald, dat is toch een beetje jammer.
