A great small hotel, in a quiet location, but within walking distance of both the university grounds and the connection to public transport. There are parking spaces at and around the hotel. …

Great room in a quiet location, great bed - not too hard, not too soft. Shower with two shower heads - all products available. From the light switch to the water bottle, everything is well thought out and practical. Plus a fantastic breakfast in the morning and personal and cheerful service. An umbrella and the forwarding of forgotten things on top of that. It really doesn't get any better. :-) Thanks! I'll definitely come back.

We were here at the end of July-beginning of August.We had a nice room, which was directly on the ground floor.It was very clean and with a lot of attention to detail. The only thing that was a small minus point for me was that the mattress was a bit too soft for me. (but everyone sees it differently)The service was great and the person was very nice.Breakfast was included for a good price. There was a card where you could mark what you wanted to eat. The selection was good and plentiful.If we are in the area again, we would definitely book this hotel again.

Very lovingly and modernly furnished room. Cleanliness 10 out of 10. Room could be darkened well. The bathroom was small and nice, but had everything you needed. Even little things like QTips! …

We were guests in the accommodation for one night, totally satisfied and felt like we were in great hands.From the outside, the old building might not make the best impression, but our room was beautifully furnished (a matter of taste) and, most importantly, totally clean.What also impressed us was the request for breakfast.Here we were asked about our preferences (wishes) regarding bread/rolls, cold cuts, cereals, drinks, etc.This means you can work sustainably, less is thrown away and you can offer your guests fresh food. Top!The hotel is in a quiet location in a residential area (near the university) and public transport is within walking distance.The staff is very friendly, helpful and tries to fulfill your every wish.In short...if we're in the area again...we'll be back.
