Als je van nostalgie en gezelligheid houdt dan is dit het hotel.
Pros:

Locatie is perfect, personeel is zeer vriendelijk en professioneel. De sfeer is uitermate aangenaam, je gaat terug in de tijd en de nostalgie spat ervan af.

Cons:

Soms stond ik met een zware koffer of tas en hadden ze meer behulpzaam kunnen zijn om deze koffer over te nemen.
