From the outside it doesn't make the best impression. From the inside, I was very positively surprised. We were warmly welcomed at reception. The furniture is a bit older, but very clean. The bed linen was clean, the bathroom was very clean, the staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was rich and varied, the fruit and vegetables were fresh. All in all, we were satisfied and can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Great hotel, with really friendly staff! With every request you will receive immediate, friendly and competent help! After we saw that we wanted to go to a concert, we were given the public transport connection to the stadium and it was explained to us again that the tickets were included on the tickets. Otherwise we would have gotten free tickets from the hotel.The room was spacious, clean and not worn out. Gladly again!

Perfect location, near Café Nord, ideal for metal fans. Unfortunately we got a smoking room, so only 3 stars for the room, otherwise clean and tidy. Service Excellent, very nice owners.

Everything was very positive, we booked a clean, spacious room, friendly staff and a very good breakfast.Oh yes and our room wasn't old-fashioned, I assume there was a lot of renovation going on here and the bathroom was new
