The rooms are okay, you have everything you need. Unfortunately I was unlucky that I had a big stain on the carpet and on the chair. Service is nice and breakfast has something for everyone. Pleasantly close to the city center.

I had a room that was getting a little old. Some large stains on the carpet, some scuffs on the wallpaper. I found the bed a bit low, but ok. The shower had a curtain. My room had two single beds and was quite large. The breakfast was quite ok, the bacon was quite gray, the tables were not set. You take cutlery and plates with you to the buffet. The location is very central.

Very centrally located. Large, clean room, clean bathroom, mold-free (which is not a given in hotels). Unfortunately not enough towels for two people in the double room. Underground car park VERY narrow, €14 per day is just acceptable.Sensationally good, rich breakfast, very attentive but unobtrusive service staff. If there were six stars for this you would get it.Biggest drawback: The water supply in the shower delivered water in waves between ice cold and scalding hot (literally, you could have scalded yourself!). I had the impression that the reception took the notice of this very seriously and promised repairs as quickly as possible.For the price of the room we would be happy to come back.

The breakfast was good, hence 2 stars. In terms of sleep, we found this hotel to be really substandard and isn't that the most important thing in a hotel? Admittedly, the price was very good, but we slept really badly. The fire doors make a lot of noise (see video) throughout the night and every 10 minutes from 7 am. The room was spacious and reasonably clean, but the curtains were hanging loose (see photo), I tried to hang them back myself but the hooks were all broken. A bit embarrassing to offer it this way? Doesn't it seem like a lot of effort to hang a curtain properly? This allowed light to come in early. The employee at check-in was also really rude. Not a kind word and absolutely not helpful. On Saturday you can park for free in front of the hotel from 4 pm until Monday morning, but she claimed not to know anything about it. I understand that you want to sell the hotel's parking lot, but you shouldn't be ridiculous and lie about not knowing what parking rules apply on the street of the hotel where you work. The employee at check-out was very friendly and so were the employees at breakfast. Location is great, 10 minutes walk from the center.
