Für Städtereisen geeignet. Zentral gelegenes Hotel mit kleinen Zimmern.
Pros:

Super Lage! Vom Hotel am Anfang der Altstadt aus sind viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, Läden und Restaurants einfach zu Fuss erreichen. Aufmerksame und umsichtige Frühstücksbedienung.

Cons:

Die Räume, insbesondere das WC sind sehr klein. Die Luft im Treppenhaus und am letzten Tag in der Reception war muffig.

De ligging, heel vriendelijk personeel, mooie architectuur

Pros:

We had an issue with the AC not working Louisa tried very hard to help us but the first night was spent with a fan. Louisa followed through the next day with the owner and got it going. Thank you Louisa. She used good problem solving skills for a brand new employee. She’s a keeper.

Merkezi konumda, temiz ama odaları küçük bir oteldir.
Pros:

Çok merkezi bir konumda çok güzel bir binada bulunuyor. Kalması çok keyifliydi. Otel’in kendisi bile fotoğraflanmalık.
Temiz bir tesis, çalışanlar çok güler yüzlüler ve yardımseverler.

Cons:

Standart odada kaldık ve çok küçüktü. Odada valiz koymak için herhangi bir yer bulunmuyor. Ayrıca terlik diş fırçası gibi ekipmanlarda yoktu.
