Soso lala
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel. Redelijke kamer, een beetje verouderd maar met een goed bed. De badkamer was klein maar met een fijne douche.

Cons:

Het parkeerterrein is erg klein en moeilijk om in te manoeuvreren. Het ontbijt was karig en om 7:30 uur stond er nog niets, terwijl ontbijt vanaf 7:00 uur geserveerd wordt.

Perfect little night away
Pros:

Spacious bedroom, lovely building and facilities, included a lovely breakfast which I enjoyed in their nice courtyard area. Lovely welcoming host at reception. Annoyed that I didn’t get the time to use the swimming pool that they also had to offer!

Cons:

There wasn’t much I didn’t like, I guess it wasn’t as city central but I knew that already

Pros:

The room was very clean and the complimentary breakfast was simple but tasty. Gluten-free bread was available. Also, the pool was a nice perk.

Viel zu laut gelegen
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt in Laufweite zur Innenstadt und hat einen netten kleinen Innenhof, in dem man frühstücken kann.

Cons:

Aufgrund der Lage des Hotels an der Hauptstraße war es selbst durch geschlossene Fenster unerträglich laut. Leider ging der Verkehr die ganze Nacht.
