De oorspronkelijke charme, allure niet meer te vinden helaas
Pros:

Goed bed. gratis upgrade naar grotere kamer. Vriendelijk, hulpvaardig personeel (liep mee naar de kamer omdat deze moeilijk te vinden was in het ´doolhof´ bijgebouw). Locatie in/bij het centrum.

Cons:

De oorspronkelijke charme, allure (zoals ik deze kende) van het Schimmelpennickhuis is verdwenen.
De kamer nr. 39 (in het ´doolhof´ ´bijgebouw´) voelde erg opgesloten/benauwd tegen het dak ernaast. Het was erg warm in de kamer bij aankomst. Gelukkig kon er een raam open.
Uiteraard was het heel fijn om een gratis upgrade te hebben gehad van een eenpersoonskamer naar een tweepersoonskamer, anders had ik het waarschijnlijk niet naar mijn zin gehad.

Fijn hotel midden in het centrum
Pros:

De vriendelijkheid van het personeel.
Ik had een kledingstuk vergeten in de hotelkamer. Het was gevonden en het was geen enkele moeite om het kledingstuk na te sturen.

Cons:

Her geluid van het smalle straatje beneden de hotelkamer
