It was a very brief stay but perfect for what we needed!
Pros: Great location for what we needed. Tasteful decor. Really nice little touches and well set up. Cons: The shower over bath was a wee bit awkward

Pros: Net buiten centrum, op loopafstand, maar bushalte voor de deur als je niet wilt lopen. Grote, lichte kamer, aparte slaapkamer en met alle faciliteiten. Erg aardige hosts! We waren een dag later dan gepland (ferry voer niet), maar kamer werd na mailtje voor ons vastgehouden. Cons: -

Pros: O quarto internamente é muito bom, grande e limpo. Tudo funcionava. O pessoal que administra o hotel é muito simpático. o Hotel é bem charmoso por fora com sua arquitetura. Cons: Chegamos a noite e o hotel é muito escuro, foi difícil achar a entrada. No quarto que ficamos tem uma tv em cima da cama que fica na sala, muito esquisito.
