For boat lovers
Pros:

I love boats. I slept in the “T” of Botel that you see on the picture. It was surreal.

Außergewöhnlich!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war hervorragend. Zudem war das Personal überaus hilfsbereit und flexibel. Wir konnten die Frühstückszeit wegen eines medizinischen Zwischenfalls nicht einhalten, worauf das Personal uns das bestellte Frühstück zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt zur mitnahme aufs Zimmer bereitstellte. Dies komplett kostenlos.
Wir waren und sind dafür unglaublich dankbar.

Cons:

Geruch im Zimmer (O) war sehr unangenehm. Lüften hilft, aber das sollte dringend mal behoben werden.

Pros:

De kamer over het algemeen was uitstekend! Heerlijk bad, heerlijk bed en een heerlijk ontbijtje!

Cons:

De trap naar beneden zit met 1 kant van de leuning direct tegen de muur aan op een klein stukje, dit had ik niet meteen door en heb dus 2x met m'n vinger daar tussen gezeten, even opletten dus 😊. En de grote beamer projecteert het scherm niet recht op de wand.. geen probleem verder, werkt nogsteeds prima, maar dat waren dan ook echt de enige kleine minpuntjes.

Pros:

Such a cool concept and loved how we got to stay in a themed letter. The tub was a great perk.

Cons:

Just like other reviews, we were unable to get the projector to work and that was a big reason why we wanted this loft.

Pros:

Aussergewöhnlicher Raum und die Lage direkt neben der kostenlosen Fähre ist super

Cons:

Renovationsstau mit angefallenen Küchenblenden und Dusche mit integriertem WC total unpraktisch. Aussicht und Originalität des Zimmers macht das wett.

Pros:

J’ai apprecie l'originalité de la chambre B avec un skatepark a l'intérieur

Dommage l'absence de rideau sans la chambre B , il faudrait un rideau comme celui de la chambre O

Zeer fraai en bijzonder
Pros:

Zeer bijzondere en fraaie kamer, echt bovenin de letter met een prachtig uitzicht

Cons:

Ik denk wel dat het zomers verschrikkelijk warm kan worden in deze kamer, veel glas aan beide zijden van de kamer en weinig warmte wering. In de nacht kan het er was drukkend aanvoelen omdat er nauwelijks een raam open kan.
