slechtste kamer ooit
Pros:

schimmel.op de muren in de kamer. vies kamer..Zweden 140cm breed...voor 2 pers bed te klein. Als booking klant hebben we de Slechtsre kamer gehad...Wij zijn dus vertrokken na kamer gezien te hebben. Niet geslapen zo slecht. Kan niet geloven dit op booking goede reviews had in igv niet onze kamer..

Cons:

kamer vochtig en schimmel aanwezig. Te klein bed. Klein raam wat zeezicht gaf maar te klein was om v te genieten...gewoon niet okay vermeld zo klein was..

Oké, maar niet fantastisch.
Pros:

Locatie was leuk

Cons:

Hele kleine kamer en een nog kleiner bed en was erg warm in de kamer. Erg gehorig en er werd al rond 7.00 stof gezogen.

Excellent, comfortable and the most convenient stay by the sea.
Pros:

It was a cute hotel room which looked like it was recently renovated. It was a very conveniently located too. The staff were exceptional. I was visiting family so did not eat here even though I paid for breakfast. It smelled amazing.

Cons:

I loved the property. However my friends room was a little outdated. Very clean though but he felt it needed some modernising.
