Pros:

Locatie van het hotel. Levendig en veel leuke cafés en restaurants in de buurt

Cons:

Ik had liever een kleine kookplaat gehad ipv alleen een magnetron. Bij het uitchecken stond ineens stomerij/wasserij kosten erbij waar ik geen gebruik van had gemaakt. Dit werd opgelost en ik hoefde niet te betalen. Echter was er door iemand wel afgetekend met mijn ‘paspoort’ naam.
