Categories

Cleanliness
8.1
Generally described as clean in many reviews ("schoon", "sauber"), but some guests reported issues: mould in the shower, unclean mirror and spots on chair in one room, so slightly below top marks.
Service
8.8
Staff repeatedly praised as friendly and helpful (multiple mentions of very friendly personnel, dedicated dining manager), supporting a strong positive score.
Location
8.8
Consistently highlighted as convenient — near train station, close to the motorway, good for stopovers and walking distance to restaurants, making location a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms described as comfortable and nicely furnished by many guests, but there are complaints about uncomfortable/broken mattresses, stains on furniture and occasional AC failures, lowering this score.
Amenities
7.6
Basic amenities work well (parking, modern rooms), but multiple guests noted lack of an on-site restaurant/evening meal options and an instance of non-working AC, giving a moderate rating.
Value for Money
8.7
Several guests explicitly mention good value and a fair price/quality balance; the hotel meets expectations for a stopover or short stay.
Food and Beverage
7.7
Breakfast is generally praised (varied buffet, good quality), but there are some notable negatives (one report of poorly managed Monday breakfast, waits and cold items), so overall positive but mixed.
Overall Experience
8.4
Overall sentiment is positive with many guests saying they'd return and describing stays as pleasant; a few operational and room-quality issues temper the top score.

מלון נחמד מאוד
Pros:

מצויינת הכל טרי וטעים לא חסר דבר אחראית חדר אוכל כריסטינה מקסימה ועושה הכל למען האורחים

Cons:

קיבלנו חדרים המיזוג לא עבד בהם ואז החליפו לנו ונאלצנו להעביר את כל הציוד שלנו שכבר היה מפורק היה ממש קשה.
עליהם לבדוק את החדרים לפני שהאורחים מגיעים ולתקן את מה שצריך לפני שמגיעים לא היה בשעה המאוחרת שהגענו איש החזקה לכן נאלצנו לעבור חדרים.מלון

Look forward to our next stay
Pros:

Location and room were great

Cons:

The Monday breakfast was terrible. Waiting for food and asking to warm up the beans and bacon. It wasn’t even busy but it was really ridiculous as I paid for my son to join and it was not worth the €16 since there was minimal food
