great stay in the city center

amazing location friendly staff nice breakfast waffle station

the location was amazing, just a minute from the grote markt. staff was friendly and that helped. breakfast was nice, one could even make their own waffles. i would visit this place again for sure.

the room was very small, especially for three people, but we managed. since the reception closes during the night, i couldn't complain about noise from upper floor, sadly.

tiny room breakfast rip-off

Honestly, the room was tiny. i mean, really tiny. plus, i could hear everything outside like the windows were wide open. earplugs were necessary. the breakfast was also a bit of a rip-off.

Charming Hotel in Central Location

convenient location comfortable bed waffle maker

The location was convenient for exploring. Market Square was only a short walk away (it was super easy to pop back to the hotel). The room was very clean, and the beds were really big and comfortable. Breakfast was also a plus. There was a great variety of choices, and I especially liked the waffle maker.

The glass partition in the bathroom offered little privacy. It.
