Pros:

Great location for this boutique hotel. Room size was more than generous and even though they thoughtfully provided earplugs we found the room to be quiet despite facing the busy street below. The breakfast option is so worth it, hot and cold items available each morning. Would stay there again.

Cons:

A problem with the TV; they provided new batteries for the remote and also reset the TV in attempt to remedy but I think it's simply a worn out remote.

Er zijn leukere plekken
Pros:

De ligging en het zag er op het eerste gezicht leuk uit

Cons:

We boekten voor een dag erna en kwamen in de kelder terecht recht onder de receptie. De kamer was een beetje klam , koud en de hele nacht hoorde je alles van de receptie recht boven ons. Misschien is de rest van het
Hotel beter. De reactie van de medewerkers bij de receptie was niet heel klantvriendelijk.
