Wij hadden een kamer naast receptie, restaurant en keuken. Dat betekende veel loopverkeer langs de kamercwat goed hoorbaar was.

Pros:

Het was een schattige kamer en het personeel was heel erg vriendelijk! Prima ontbijt wel wat prijzig. De locatie is prettig en op loopafstand van leuke koffietentjes en de metro!

Cons:

Het bed is wat krap voor twee volwassenen. De leidingen en riolering maken nog al wat kabaal en dir was soms ook na 10 uur nog zo.

Pros:

Das Frühstück ist in Ordnung. Das Haus hat viktorianischen Charme.

Cons:

Toilettenspülung fiel aus. Habe ich dann selber repariert, nachdem ich den ganzen Vormittag niemand darum gekümmert hat. Extrem helles Notausgangsschild über der Zimmertür, das Zimmer strahlt die ganze Nacht hellgrün. Unter dem Dach sehr heiß. Fenster lässt sich nur ein Wenig öffnen, dann hört man aber den Verkehr auf der Hauptstraße und kann nicht schlafen. Es gibt keinen Aufzug.
