Over priced for what was available.
Pros:

It wasn’t too far to walk to the city centre and was close to both bus and tram stops. The staff were helpful.

Cons:

There was no lift and the staircase to the second floor was narrow. The shutter in the main window was broken and would not open. The sink in the bathroom was clean but had a large piece missing and the grouting to it was very poor. Every piece of the wooden flooring creaked. The hotel wasn’t easy to find as there was only a small sign on the second or third floor and nothing on the main door, we actually drove past it twice! I emailed, from the hotel websites contact details, about reserving parking but was told on arrival that the email address was wrong!

Pros:

The window in our room was broken. We tried to contact reception, but it was closed, so we received no help throughout the night. Because of this, we could not sleep properly.

The next day, our room was not cleaned either. Overall, we were very disappointed with our stay. The service we received was not acceptable and was not worth the amount we paid.

Cons:

Everting

niet meer voor herhaling vatbaar !
Pros:

locatie: dicht bij centrum en autostrade

Cons:

mijn logement betrof 4 nachten in een suite
ontbijt: geen wit brood, geen honing, geen margarine, geen pindakaas, geen potjes yoghurt, ...
lawaai: kamerpersoneel werd 's ochtends vroeg opgeleid naast mijn kamerdeur
kamer: vraag voor een minikoelkast werd afgewezen terwijl er in een andere kamer een stond
parking: gereserveerd aan 15€/dag, bij aankomst werd het 20€/dag, garage te klein dus poort kon niet gesloten worden
klantvriendelijkheid: al deze feedback werd gegeven bij uitchecken, als antwoord kreeg ik: we zullen het noteren

Pros:

Zeer veel sfeer, historisch pand. Je kan lekker in de binnentuin zitten

Cons:

Veel achterstallig onderhoud, tijdens een bui regent het net zo hard binnen als in de hal/overloop op zolder

Freundliches Personal. Zum Empfang gab es ein Getränk. Sehr gutes Frühstück im herrschaftlichen Frühstücksraum. Kaffeezubereitung im Zimmer möglich. Gute Zimmergröße und großes Badezimmer.

Cons:

Keine besondere Aussicht aus dem Zimmerfenster, was für uns nicht relevant war.
