Pros:

Spacieux hôtel moderne conçu pour recevoir des personnes en fauteuil dont la salle de bain. Grand parc à l’arrière de l’hôtel et situation à environ 20 mm à pied du centre ville. Grand parking souterrain. Le professionnalisme et l’affabilité de la réception car nous avons pu changer de chambre d’une, donnant sur l’avenue avec le bruit de la circulation routière pour une bien plus au calme dans l’aile donnant sur le parc.

Cons:

La conception de la salle de bain avec la douche de plein pied obligeant à nettoyer le sol couvert d’eau et sa porte vitrée face aux toilettes.

It was fine but I would think very hard about staying here again.
Pros:

Staff were great and the hotel was spacious and clean.

Cons:

My room was a disabled room with no proper shower, The bed was not that comfortable and I faced the main road so it was noisy until late in the evening and first thing in the morning. Breakfast was also ok but again nothing special and the restaurant in the evening has a very limited menu. However the main old town is only about 15 to 20 minutes walk so I went out to eat there.

Great hotel with kind staff
Pros:

The hotel and its location were great. Parking was better than expected in an underground garage. Staff were very professional and polite. Props to them! :)

Cons:

I wasn't a huge fan of the shower, as they put us in a room with access for disabled people. But it's ok and got the job done. Other than that, the room was very spacious and comfortable.

Pros:

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Der Check-in lief unkompliziert und man kann innerhalb von 15-20 min in die Innenstadt laufen.

Cons:

Am Badezimmer ist nur eine Glastür, die nur teilweise aus Milchglas ist. Zudem ist das Bad extrem hellhörig.

Schönes und gut ausgestattetes Hotel in toller Lage mit freundlichem Personal
Pros:

Gutes und ausreichendes Frühstück, sehr gute Lage nahe der Altstadt und direkt an der Straßenbahnhaltestelle, reservierter Parkplatz in der Tiefgarage, abends können kleine Gerichte, belgisches Bier und andere Drings an der Bar und im Garten genossen werden. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereies Personal.

Cons:

Eine Klimaanlage ist wünschenswert. Eine Glastür zu Bad und Toilette macht dem Innenarchitekten vermutlich mehr Spaß als dem Hotelgast.
