Great value, service and location

A wonderful hotel in a very convenient part of the city, close to everything. Streets nearby are well-lit and safe to walk. The buffet breakfast was excellent but sometimes short of choices. Room was very comfortable and cleaned daily.

Prima

Goede basic accommodatie. Verwacht niet te veel van het ontbijt, maar prima. Het is best wel gehorig. Je hoort mensen op de gang lopen en één avond/nacht waren er mensen luid aan het praten op de binnenplaats, wat je heel Goed hoort
