Lovely location, friendly helpful staff. Only reason for 4 stars is I feel parking is too expensive.

Good stay
Nice hotel in a good location. It's a fairly basic 4-star and the rate was very high due to a local trade fair that was happening at the time in the city but the stay was good overall.

Comfortable but very small single room
A well located hotel just a 10 minute walk from the main train station. My single room was very small but comfortable despite a slightly noisy air conditioning system. Reception staff were very friendly. Good breakfast.

Nice hotel, no complaints. But the bottle water at the room should be for free. That would be hospitality. And I miss Dutch programms on tv.
