Overall all stay was adequate for one night and served its purpose
Pros:

Location was good and selection of places to eat

Cons:

Hotel is old although rooms have been updated there is no air conditioning which is a miss. Lobby area and reception desk are tired looking and could benefit from a re fresh. Expensive for what was on offer

Ok, average. Price little over priced for 1 night stay without breakfast. 213 euro.
Cons:

Price for what I got. Could have been a little cheaper as the hotel did not seem to be full?. Also, the parking facilities where you had to pay a 10 euro deposit for a space for which if you needed to use your car when leaving the hotel and you where coming back later, you would not be guaranteed a car space and if you car park where to be full you would get your 10 euro back and pay for public car parking somewhere nearby the hotel for which us more expensive because you are paying for overnight parking. There seems to be a issue with this operation how it works. Need to be readdress and come up with a better situation.

Goed hotel met diverse busverbindingen naar vliegveld en centrum.
Pros:

Buiten centrum gelegen maar goed bereikbaar met bus of lopend (ca 25 minuten). De kamer was schoon en voldoende ruim. Goede douche. Koelkastje voor eugen drankjes aanwezig. Airco (als het raam gesloten is).

Cons:

Het lawaai van verkeer (kan het hotel niets aan doen) maar daardoor moest het raam dicht. Dan is het okay.
