Pros:

Ein sehr besonderes Haus mit ausnehmend freundlichen Gastgebern. Es gibt auch ein Restaurant, in dem man am Abend essen kann mit leckeren Speisen. Fahrräder können sicher untergebracht werden.
Ein sehr originelles Restaurant aus den 70er Jahren, dass gemixt wurde mit dem Stil der 90er. Originell!

Prima hotel, locatie, bedden en prijs
Pros:

Prima bedden. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Erg stil in de nacht wat ten goede komt aan een goede nachtrust.

Cons:

Hotel is wat gedateerd maar dat heeft ook wel wat nostalgisch.

Günstige Übernachtungsmöglichkeit
Pros:

Die Leistungen des Hotels waren dem Preis voll angemessen. Nettes Personal und gute Unterstellmöglichkeit für das Fahrrad. Das Upgrade vom Einzelzimmer auf ein größeres Doppelzimmer

Cons:

Die Lage des Zimmers zur Straßenseite. Bei geöffnetem Fenster waren Gäste auf der Veranda, Straßenlärm und durchfahrende Züge extrem laut zu hören.

Goed, gezellig, en net hotel met uitstekend ontbijt.
Pros:

Het was er schoon, mooie kamer.
Vriendelijk personeel.
We hebben er lekker gegeten, zowel ontbijt en diner.

Cons:

Het enige nadeel is dat er geen airconditioning aanwezig was en het lag aan een drukke weg en treinrail. Je kon dus ook niet het raam open laten staan in de nacht vanwege het lawaai.
