Ons verblijf was super-ontspannend.
Pros:

De klantvriendelijkheid (alle functies), het kamercomfort en de locatie waren voor ons de grootste troeven van het hotel. Het ontbijtaanbod was perfect. Tijdens een volgend bezoek maken we zeker gebruik van de Gym.

Cons:

Niets. Er waren zelfs paraplu's om in geval van regen van het ene naar het andere gebouw te gaan.

Pros:

Lage, Sauberkeit, Größe des Zimmers

Cons:

Ein Rezeptionist war bei der Ankunft nicht zugewandt: keine Frage nach der Anreise, keine Alternativangebote zu verneinenden Anfragen, es wurde statt niederländisch nur englisch e Sprache angeboten, obzwar deutsche Sprache so nah im Grenzbereich liegend, nahe gelegen hätte
