Pros:

very central position in on the river in the old town

Cons:

despite being advised that taxi's have the necessary permission to enter the old town and get to the hotel, our taxi dumped us on the roadside leaving us to struggle with luggage down the narrow cobblestone pathways whilst trying to find the location of the hotel. I think arrival instructions could be better handled maybe provided to give to the taxi driver.

Heerlijke vakantie gehad!
Pros:

Toplocatie, mooie kamer, heerlijk ontbijt en super vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Locatie is direct aan de boulevard, waar de hele dag/avond live muziek wordt gespeeld. Wij vonden dit wel gezellig, maar wel goed om te weten.

Great location and charming place
Pros:

The location was great, however can be a little hard to find initially. Had great views of the river and pretty much was in the center of it all. The suite was perfect for our family of 4.
