Séjour correct mais hôtel un peu cher par rapport aux prestations fournies
Pros:

Nous avions une vue mer magnifique
Le starbuck au rez-de-chaussée est confortable
Le personnel est d’une grande gentillesse

Cons:

Selon l’endroit où est situé votre chambre vous pouvez avoir vue sur les containers du port donc il faut avoir de la chance
Le parking est beaucoup trop cher pour un parking partagé avec le public et il est en plein air
Il n’y avait pas de savon dans notre chambre
Une odeur désagréable remontait à cause des canalisations des WC ce qui n’est pas normal

Fijn hotel op een geweldige plek.
Pros:

Bar en parkeergelegenheid.

Cons:

Het uitzicht op de brug vanaf de 6e verdieping. Het uitzicht over een dak was erg slecht. Ook viel de fitnessruimte wat tegen qua hygiëne en ruimte.
