"Would come back here if I am back in the city!"

Everything! It was all very clean, the host was very responsive. The room and toilet were comfortable and clean.

Nothing bad to say. The building is a bit old but it's well maintained and I didn't have a bad experience here at all.

De kamer was mooi ingericht en zeer proper. Locatie op wandelafstand van het centrum.

Badkamer is zeer klein. Bedden zijn hard en platte kussens, je krijgt ook slechts 1 kussen. Kamer ligt aan een straat waar er de ganse nacht straatverlichting brandt, jammer dat er dan geen goede verduisterende gordijnen zijn. Interactie met personeel was raar: je mag niet binnen in receptiegebouw, maar je wordt onmiddellijk meegenomen naar de deur voor uitleg. Bij het uitchecken werden de sleutels uit mijn handen genomen en dat was het.
