Wenig Komfort, hatte mehr erwartet.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut. Auf dem Zimmer gibt es einen Wasserkocher und die Möglichkeit, sich einen Tee oder einen Kaffee zuzubereiten.

Cons:

Die Beleuchtung im Zimmer war schlecht, keine Nachttischlampen. Das große Licht konnte nicht vom Bett aus gelöscht werden. Im Bad fehlte der Fön, die Dusche war unter der Dachschräge, ohne Seitenwände! Ein großer Abstreifer stand in der Ecke, mit dem man nach dem Duschen das Wasser zum Abfluss streifen musste.

bumpy ride dankzij brandalarm; het hotel is wellicht beter
Pros:

voldoende ruime kamer met prima buro. bed was ook van goede kwaliteit en restaurant had een goede maaltijd (veel verse groente en salade). Ook zeer ruime parkeerplaats voor de deur in leuke plaats.

Cons:

het onderhoud van het hotel is matig (vergane glorie) en ik kreeg een brandalarm midden in de nacht, waarbij de lichtknopjes ook moeilijk te vinden waren. Ik vernam van de buren dat dit recent al vaker was voorgekomen, maar er kwam niemand van het hotel langs om aan te geven wat er aan de hand was, laat staan excuses aan te bieden.

Pros:

Heel kleine kamer, met schuine wanden, bij het voeteneind instappen. Douche met schuine wanden, alles staat blank na het douchen. Goede parkeergelegenheid en ontbijt maar dat was het dan ook.

Ask for a room overlooking the square
Pros:

Wonderful location right on town square. Busy and gezellig bar/restaurant on the ground floor. Staff was fine but did not seem particularly interested.

Cons:

My room was an interior room on upper floor, only doors opened up to a courtyard of rocks, surrounded by other rooms, which did not feel particularly safe to leave room for fresh air to get in overnight. Small, stuffy, kind of dark room; felt like everything needed a good shaking out in the sun.

Even in een bubbel!
Pros:

Heerlijk gevarieerd ontbijt.

Cons:

We zaten binnen in de serre en omdat het buiten warm was stond de deur naar het terras open. Mensen die buiten zaten net achter de deur zaten te roken, waardoor mijn dochter en ik konden 'meegenieten' van de rook als niet-roker. Dat was niet fijn.
