Pros:

Great staff and helpful
acceptable level of cleanliness,
quite

Cons:

Breakfast was a joke and unhealthy
Nothing was fresh
Boiled eggs were reheated ,even though it was cold, and the yolk was nearly black .
Croissant stale and it was reheated .
Very low amount of food .
The staff was sitting in the dining, the 1st table with loads of paperwork, observing what you have ate .

Blankets stink smoke.
When I entered the room, windows were opened, obviously for a reason.

Όλα ήταν ωραία και η περιοχή πολύ ήσυχη. Ο κεντρικός δρόμος πολύ κοντά αν χρειαστεί να πας κάπου με το λεωφορείο. Εύκολη πρόσβαση.

Cons:

Το πάρκινγκ για το ποδήλατο κάνει 8€.

Het was in orde - goede prijs kwaliteit

Cons:

De koffiemachine was stuk. Ik kreeg dan wel betere koffie, maar daar was wat gezaagd over. En ik moest op de weg parkeren

Ако сте за една вечер се преживява някак
Pros:

Добра локация на тихо и спокойно място, гараж, любезен персонал.

Cons:

Резевацията ми беше "дублирана" и трябваше да вземе друга стая. Много добра-та" закуска обявена на сайта, всъщност е маса с 3-4 варени яйца и 5-6 парчета шпеков салам за всички гости. Машина за еспресо няма, кафето е някаква негърска пот в чайник. Ако в гаража влезе някой, който не умее да паркира в тесни пространства, или пък умее да кара само напред, бъдете готови да ви викат по всяко време да размествате колите.

Cons:

Doručak loš, nije nas dočekala soba kakvu smo rezervirali nego smo morali uzeti još jednu sobu i ako je rezervacija bila za 2odraslih i 2 djece te smo sobu još dodatno platili koliko i prvu, loša komunikacija između bookinga i hotela
