Cons:

De haren die we vonden in ons bed. Het bad met kalksporen en behoorlijk smerig putje. Bloed op het kussen.

Brilliant budget choice. Recommend.
Pros:

Excellent location, friendly staff, spotlessly clean - very quiet. Good value for money. Tea & coffee in room.

Cons:

Dated furnishing wise but as spotlessly clean didn’t worry us.
