Nette kamer, maar te warm
Pros:

Netheid kamer en badkamer. Goed bed. Vriendelijke medewerkers

Cons:

Warme kamer (416) waarvan de ramen niet open kunnen. De centrale luchtbehandeling kan de temperatuur niet voldoende omlaag brengen.
Achteraf hoorden we de er kamers zijn waar wel het raam open kan.
Vermeld dit dan ook in de kanerbeschrijving.

It's the best option in the city.
Pros:

Amazing location, Amazing prices for the rooms. Staff was fantastic. Tony, the bartender (Barmeester?) was absolutely top of his class and made the evenings spent at the hotel very enjoyable. He was also happy to talk about the hotel, the city, Fryslan and the local cuisine. The rest of the hotel staff were also wonderful, and everyone was happy to make recommendations and help in any way they could. 10/10 Hotel, I will absolutely stay there again.

Cons:

What didn't I like? Leaving. Ending my trip. No longer being there. I think you get the point. Leeuwarden was a wonderful city, and a fantastic central hub for my travels around Fryslan. I have nothing bad to say about the experience.

Pros:

Da sehr freundliche Personal, das Frühstück, der Frühstücksraum und die hervorragende Lage für die Stadterkundung.

Cons:

Es gab keinen barrierefreien Zugang. Die Tür, die das gewährt hätte, war abgeschlossen. Der Lift am Eingang nütze mir nichts, weil ich die Treppen innerhalb des Gebäudes nicht umgehen konnte.
