Really nice comfortable hotel in a good location.
Pros:

It was close to the centre and there were places to eat and drink nearby. The hotel itself has a very nice bar.

Cons:

My only quibble is the bath with the shower over it. The bath is very narrow, making it difficult to stand in, plus the surface was so slippery it felt really unsafe. I asked about a mat, but was told to put a towel in.

Immer wieder gerne, oder nächstes Mal doch Brügge…………..?
Pros:

Die Tiefgarage in Innenstadtlage. Die Lage direkt in der Altstadt, nahegelegenen zu allen Sehenswürdigkeiten in dieser wirklich alten „Märchenstadt“. Einfach hinsetzen in die Aussengastronomie, an einer Gracht mit Blick auf ein altes Fachwerkhausensamble!

Cons:

Anfahrt zu Hotel anspruchsvoll und fordernd, in Verbindung mit der Baustelle direkt vor der Tür, aber dafür kann das Hotel nichts.
