Never again, total nightmare.
Pros:

The Breakfast

Cons:

The staffs attitude due to a problem with the reservation by Booking . Com
Breakfast had been included with the reservation, but the Staff were adamant that it hadn’t and would have to be paid at an additional cost
Room was what prepared as per booking.
Booked a Twin Room with single beds, but was given a room with 1no. Double bed
WiFi was impossible to connect too

We were made to feel very uncomfortable and only after complaining for over an hour and showing proof of booking schedule were our problems resolved!!

We will not be using this hotel again, nor would we recommend it too anyone who would not be able to stand their ground to get what they paid for

Correct hotel, maar verwacht geen toplocatie of haute cuisine.
Pros:

Goed gelegen locatie, wel buiten de dorpskern.

Cons:

Het is een locatie die meer geschikt is voor werknemers op doorreis en minder een toeristische locatie, vlakbij een supermarkt en een Mac Donalds

Not enjoyable at all.
Pros:

Nor much

Cons:

When I arrived I had to check in at the reception desk near the bar. There was a pub quiz going on and there was a loud speaker blaring the music quiz about 1m from my hear. It was nearer to me than the receptionist. She had to leave her seat and and speak directly into my ear.

In the room the tv had section of screen that did not work. The remote control would not switch off the TV.

The room was seriously overpriced.

Would never stay again.
Pros:

The air conditioning. The beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The room and bathroom were really dirty and rundown. Walls and doors had dirty finger and hand marks in multiple spots. Carpet was wet in a few spots. There was a lot of mold in the bathroom. The room was also very dusty and clearly was not cleaned deeply for a very long time.
