Pros:

Toplocatie en faciliteiten op de kamer

Cons:

In andere recensies las ik dat je geen last heb van buitengeluid: dit is niet in alle kamers het geval. Als je een lichte slaper bent is het erg storend.
De airco rammelde ook teveel om mee te kunnen slapen.

Heel fijn hotel op een hele goede locatie
Pros:

Het was een prachtig hotel met heel vriendelijk personeel op een top locatie. Ook het ontbijt was uitstekend verzorgd. Het hotel heeft een hele warme uitstraling.

Cons:

Omdat het toch een redelijk oud gebouw is, is het aantal stopcontacten minimaal. In de badkamer is geen enkel stopcontact.
