ziemlich heruntergekommen und vernachlässigt
Pros:

Bettlaken trotz Verschmutzung nicht gewechselt, Benutzte Kaffeetassen wurden nicht getauscht, Kaffeesahne war klumpig, Steckdose im Bad mit abgebrochenen Deckel. Das Hotel an sich ist ok. Bin dort mindestens einmal im Jahr. Ist jetzt ziemlich heruntergekommen und vernachlässigt.

I highly recommend this place and will stay there again.
Pros:

The room given to me was surprisingly big, and it actually was the biggest hotel room I had during my entire trip to Europe. It is conveniently located 15 min of walk from the train station and a few minutes to the city centre. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly, and the breakfast is more than what I expected. Most importantly, the room temperature can be controlled to my liking.

Cons:

None

Pros:

De locatie was top, vlak naast het Patronaat; we stonden binnen 2 minuten na het concert weer in ons hotel.

Cons:

Er was gedurende het gehele verblijf veel geluidsoverlast op onze verdieping; nabij de buitenruimte stonden grote luchtcirculatieapparaten opgesteld die aanzienlijk lawaai produceerden, waardoor wij genoodzaakt waren om oordopjes te dragen.

Pros:

Locatie

Cons:

Slecht geventileerde kamer, schimmel op de kozijnen. Water lag smorgens op de vensterbank.
Geen koffie/ thee faciliteit op de kamer wat je voor dat geld toch minimaal zou mogen verwachten
