Pros:

Goede kamer met voldoende ruimte en faciliteiten voor persoon in rolstoel. Badkamer toereikend.

Cons:

In badkamer hangt de douche veel te hoog (zo laag mogelijk onder aan de stang plaatsen). Ook de zeepdispensers hangen veel te hoog

Pros:

Very comfortable room and bed, perfect for a stopover after a long international flight. The breakfast package for an additional 20 euro per person was really worth it! The food choices were fantastic.

Geen spelletjes helaas. Een potje dammen, kaarten of mens erger je niet zou leuk zijn om te kunnen lenen

Noodzakelijk kwaad
Pros:

Kamer is prima, ontbijt is ook uitstekend

Cons:

Ik vind het gebouw lelijk, het terras is ongezellig en omgeving is lelijk. Ontbijtzaal is ook matig. Geheel is niet wat je verwacht van vd Valk. Ondanks de goede kamer vind ik het geheel tegenvallen. Kom er niet meer terug.
