Für mich optimal, da nur 100 Meter zu der Location wo ich hin wollte!
Pros:

Für einen kurze Aufenthalt auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Alles vorhanden was man braucht. Gerne wieder!

Cons:

Ausstattung ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen und nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäß.

Goed voor kort verblijf
Pros:

Zochten een plek op loopafstand van het centrum. Dat is gelukt. Kende het hotel al. Parkeren op eigen terrein voor € 10,- Ook fijn!
Nederlands sprekende eigenaren. Niet nodig, maar toch fijn. Lieve mensen ook.

Pros:

Die Betten waren komfortabel, die Bettwäsche sauber, Badezimmer (mit Dusche) neu saniert und sauber. Es gibt einen kleinen Kühlschrank im Zimmer. Das Frühstück ist reichlich und lecker. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Unten an der Straßenseite gibt es einen sehr guten Schawarma und Falafel Laden, alles sehr lecker.

Cons:

Man muss berücksichtigen, dass das Hotel mitten in der Stadt liegt und dadurch Straßenlärm. Wenn die Fenster zu sind, hört man das Verkehr nicht.

Comfortable trip back in time
Pros:

The room was very big and clean, it had everything we needed. The staff was friendly and helpful as well. Even though it was very noisy outside from traffic, we barely heard anything with the windows shut. The beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

The hotel and rooms are outdated. It feels like you're stepping into the 80's with that style of furniture, wallpaper and flooring. Still, it was very clean and comfortable.
