Could have been better
Pros:

Excellent location. Lovely quirky decoration.

Cons:

Air con didn’t work, friends of ours stayed in another room & theirs was chilled beautifully- not great on a very hot weekend with the sun streaming in all day.
No mirror other than the bathroom one, but the lighting was so dark you couldn’t see what you were doing.

Pros:

Chique kamer! Heel ruim

Cons:

Gewoon ter info, ligt niet aan het hotel: in Leiden, of toch in deze buurt waar ik moest zijn, zijn er weinig plekken te vinden die voor 9u ontbijt serveren. Als je dat dus nodig hebt, zoek je beter een hotel met ontbijt.

Pros:

De locatie is super midden in het centrum, het is ook een mooi ingerichte kamer.

Cons:

Qua afwerking en hygiëne zou het wel echt netter mogen. De verf is op een gekke manier bijgewerkt waardoor er allerlei vlekken op de muur zitten. Daarnaast was de kamer best stoffig, dit mag wel netter voor de prijs en uitstraling van de kamer.
