Ik zou zeker weer terug gaan naar dit hotel.

9.0

De douche was perfect, een constante straal en warm water. Personeel was heel vriendelijk, en je voelde je welkom. Het dak terras was erg mooi, en geweldig uitzicht.

− De directe buurt is niet zo mooi( ziet er een beetje armmoedig uit) Maar alle kleine koffie tentjes waar je even een broodje kan eten met een bakkie koffie, maken het weer erg gezellig.

It wasn't bad

5.0

The hotel's location, its breakfast, and especially the softness of the beds are among the things I liked.

− During our stay, I requested room cleaning once, and the service was terrible. The room hadn't been vacuumed, and no water had been left for us. I was not at all satisfied with this cleaning.

Die Lage war OK, der Zimmerpreis insgesamt jedoch überteuert.

5.0

Das Personal, besonders das Housekeeping, was sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

− Der Cafeautomat von Doweeckbert im Frühstücksraum war enttäuschend, zu diesem Preis haben wir uns ein vielfältigeres Frühstück und besonders besseren Café erwartet.

Parasını haketmeyen bir konaklama

1.0

Hiçbir şeyini begenmedik, lokasyonu çok uzak otel çok sesli ve hareketli bir caddede odalar asla göründüğü gibi değil çok küçük

− Asansörler çok küçük, odalar özensiz ve temiz değil ayrıca aşırı küçüktü kesinlikle parasını haketmeyen bir otel ve konaklamaydı
