Pros:

Short walk from the train station and where my course was being held so convenient in that respect.

Cons:

Given room for a disabled person which had a wet room as opposed to the bath that I’d specifically requested.
Train was delayed and arrived just after 9pm so couldn’t get any food at the hotel. Not what you want to hear after such a long and tedious journey.

Pros:

Great lo ation across from a park. Overall pretty nice.

Cons:

Floors were very creaky all over the room, so noisy to walk on if anyone is a light sleeper, at least in my room (103).

Parfait
Pros:

Tout était parfait.
Mention spéciale tout particulièrement pour notre serveur du petit déjeuner qui est particulièrement sympathique, professionnel et bienveillant. Nous avons échangé quelques mots en français d’ailleurs. Un véritable rayon de soleil au petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Rien

Zeer fijn en comfortabel hotel op een uitstekende ligging
Pros:

Vriendelijkheid personeel, makkelijk bereikbaar met openbaar vervoer, goed gelegen om alles te bezoeken, goede bedden, ruime en stille kamer, proper sanitair, koffiezet en waterkoker aanwezig, lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt.

Cons:

Het eten in het restaurant van het hotel zelf vonden wij niet zo lekker en best wel duur voor wat het was.

Awesome place!
Pros:

Awesome facilities with the bar and restaurant on the ground floor. The location also couldn't be better it's walking distance to everything cool in the city but right next to a tram if you want to go farther.

Estafada
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Las fotos de los cuartos estándar son una estafa en cuanto a vista tamaño y comodidad. Las camas son demasiado pequeñas para que digan que son dobles y el precio demasiado una noche es de un hotel 4 estrellas pero sus cuartos estándar no llegan ni a ser como las de un ibis.

God oplevelse
Pros:

Rent og roligt hotel. Tæt på de ting vi ønskede at opleve. Venligt personale - god morgenmad.

Cons:

Vi boede under gadeplan som virkede lidt kælder agtigt og lugtede lidt af fugt. Men værelset var fint, rent, rummeligt og med stort vindue ud så det var ok. Men skulle jeg booke igen ville jeg bede om et værelse højere oppe hvor der også var udsigt.
