Pros:

Frühstück ist ok, mehr aber auch nicht

Cons:

Altes abgewohntes Hotel. Übler Gestank durch Schwefel und extrem starkriechendem Dufterfrischer im Bad. Da die Lüftung angeblich zu laut ist, läuft diese angeblich nur tagsüber. Der Gestank verschwindet dadurch jedoch nicht.
Bett sehr schmal für 2 Leute, etwa 120-140cm.

Möbel komplett abgewohnt. Direkte Straßenlage, daher laut und wenn Vorhänge offen, kann jeder ins Zimmer glotzen, da Fensterfront ohne Sichtschutz.

Generell nicht zu empfehlen, besser ein paar Euro mehr kn die Hand nehmen und woanders buchen.

Pros:

Very good breakfast ! Good location within the city center, nice friendly staff

Cons:

There are 2 buildings, we stayed one across the street from main building with lobby. There was a strong bad smell something like cheap perfume, maybe it was a bug spray or to mask other unpleasant odors, nevertheless, nauseating smell. We asked to change the room, but they couldn't accommodate. Another guests did change the room to a main building, they said little better. TV didn't work, either.

Vergane glorie
Pros:

Het bed lag heerlijk!

Cons:

Het stonk naar parfum. Scheuren in de muren en t plafond, verf bladert van de kozijnen, schimmel op de badkamer voegen.
