Very nice room, clean and with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast buffet (which I booked for €17.90 during check-in) was also worthwhile - with English breakfast, small breads, all kinds of cheeses and meats and vegan options.

Zimmer war OK, sauber, zu wenig Ablageflächen im Bad. Essen gegen Abend war nicht möglich da das Personal beschäftigt war. Wir hatten mit Frühstück gebucht was durch Terminverlegung nicht war genommen werden konnte, allerdings konnten das Geld nicht zurück gebucht werden. Wir kommen nicht nocheinmal wieder!

Echt genoten van ons verblijf! In het weekend is er voor de deur savonds wel een soort taxi opstap plaats. Dit was om te parkeren wel minderen fijn en kosten rond de 24 euro voor een nacht. Tijdens het navragen bij de receptie werd er niet verteld dat er een parkeerplaats achterom het hotel was. Verder hotel was geweldig!
