Ex Libris boutique hotel

Bed: ik lag een kuil. De hoteldeur stond drie keer toe open en zonder toezicht als ik bij het hotel aankwam, waarvan twee keer in de avond. Op de dag van uitchecken is het fijn dat je je bagage nog even mag laten staan in de hal. Toek ik in de middag de bagage kwam ophalen, stond de deur weer open en er was niemand aanwezig. De bagage had gestolen kunnen worden. Gelukkig was dit niet gebeurt.

Noisy guests arriving with screaming, running and jumping child at 23.30 all three of our nights stay, above our room.
Air con unit seemed intermittent on evening and night when it was most needed.

Bit noisy at night but no big deal

Stairs need to be a mountain climber. Breakfast was too twee. Either have an inclusive price and serve up a buffet or don't bother. Certainly not worth the climb up and down the stairs to sit in a sterile room for an a la carte offering, which was okay but not really worth the effort.

Les Escaliers sont très serrés, petits, raides. Ok pour moi mais plus compliqué pour mon conjoint qui est grand et avec un sac à dos.
La porte du bas qui est bruyante mais peu ouverte au final car il n'y a que 5 chambres par adresse

Mangelnde Sauberkeit. Der Boden, besonders der Teppich war unrein. Das Fenster längere Zeit nicht mehr geputzt. Der Kapselautomat sehr verunreinigt. Im Bad ist die Spiegelleuchte defekt. Auch die Duscharmaturen sind nicht mehr fest verankert. Für ein Boutique Hotel sollte es auch selbstverständlich sein, die eigentlich schönen Holzregale mit etwas Öl zu pflegen. Beim Check out haben wir niemanden angetroffen, die Schlüssel und die City tax auf dem desk hinterlassen und per sms dieses mitgeteilt. Schade, ein tolles altes verwinkeltes Gebäude mit Charme…

No negatives.

Op booking.com staat dat het ontbijt 12,50 pp is.
Maar het is gewoon van de kaart.

Garden view is zicht op een heel klein binnen tuintje. Maar nu zijn wij de ruimte in het oosten van het land gewend 😅.

De bedden en een klein raam

Es gibt keine „Rezeption“ bzw. man sieht nur zwischen 8.30 und 10.30 Uhr jemanden vom Personal. Sehr unpersönlich!

L’accès au 2 eme étage par l’escalier.
Cet escalier n’est pas très accessible…

Doucheproducten en kleine badkamer en smalle trap nr boven

Death defying stairs to get to your room.
Bathroom had a very pungent smell coming up from the shower drain. Had to sleep with the window open to allow for fresh air.

This is probably the worst hotel I have stayed at in my life and yet also nearly the most expensive. The issue that made us check out 3 days before the end of our prepaid 4 night stay was something highly allergic in the air in our room that made it impossible to sleep more than an hour without coughing and clearing my throat. But the sum total of other issues should give cause to anyone else considering this hotel. When we arrived at the hotel door the staff gave us instructions to a public parking area a half mile from the hotel. The instructions included a route down a narrow one-way street that was totally blocked by stanchions in the ground, and we were forced to back out for 200 feet with MANY pedestrians and bikes trying to get around us. This saga continued until a very helpful pedestrian gave us clear directions to the parking area. When we finally made it back to the hotel, they had fortunately carried our bags up three flights of a narrow, winding, spiral staircase that we would have been completely unable to negotiate with a suitcase with steps half the width of a man's foot. It felt quite scary going up and down to our room with no luggage at all. When we reached our room, we found a bedroom with absolutely no space around the bed for a table or movement. One of us had to climb over the other to get in or out of bed. I suppose the owner thinks this and the ridiculously dangerous staircase are what makes it a "boutique" hotel! In any case, the day after we checked out, I wrote to the hotel and Booking to ask for some sort of refund because of the allergy problem that I had ONLY in that hotel. I never heard anything back from either the hotel nor Booking. Think about all this before you consider making a reservation at the most non-boutique hotel I can imagine. The only pleasant part of our stay was the breakfast that the friendly manager cooked for us before we left.
