Chambre Deluxe au 5 ème. Bof odeur d essence pénible, propreté limite et pas de quoi suspendre sa serviette dans la salle de bain. Robinetterie vétuste. Pas de lampe de chevet, obligé de se lever pour éteindre. Mauvaise connexion internet.Pdj moyen. Le bon point : bien situé et personnel sympathique. Bilan : pas génial j ai trouvé mieux et moins cher le jour suivant.

Oldukça makul bir fiyata rezervasyon yaptırdığım için pek bir beklentim yoktu ancak resepsiyondaki arkadaşın tavrı rahatsız ediciydi. Arkadaşıymışız gibi bey ya da hanım demeden sürekli ismimizle hitap etmesi müşteriye saygı açısından kabul edilebilir bir şey değil.

Leuk hotel dichtbij een super leuke straat.

Dit hotel is Klein maar erg gezellig. Kleine kamers hadden schoner gekund maar voor een kort verblijf prima. In de buurt van een super leuke winkel straat met veel winkels en terrasjes genoeg. Ongeveer 10 minuten lopen naar het water waar ook weer genoeg te doen is! Het ontbijt buffet zou wel uitgebreider kunnen maar is genoeg om je dag mee te beginnen!
