      Positiv: Zentrale Lage, war angenehm ruhig im Zimmer, TV und Kühlschrank, herziges „Attrapé“ mit Kaffetassen, Tee und Kaffekapseln, kaffemaschine und Wasserkocher im Zimmer, kein kleines enges Bad und später Checkout (bis 12Uhr) Negativ: das Bad war an einigen Stellen leidr nicht so ganz sauber (Staubknäuel, Häärchen im Spiegelschrank (hat sich wahrscheinlich jemand abrasiert), mühsame Eingabe von Daten im Selfcheck Automaten, manchmal kalter Zug im Zimmer (Fenster hatte unten eine Art Spalt und kam uns nicht so dicht vor. Der Aufenthalt war schlussendlich, trotz den negativen Punkten, angenehm und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis bleibt allemal stark. Die kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten wie das Bisquit, der Tee und die Baselcard machten es wieder wett. Wir können das Hotel empfehlen für das kleine Portemonnaie.

      Bei Problemen am Abend war niemand auf der Helpline erreichbar (die Rezeption war am WE ab 19:00 Uhr nicht mehr besetzt). Ich werde das Hotel solcher Art nicht mehr buchen.

      Heel rustig. Toch dicht bij station SBB en het centrum”

      Het viel ons op hoe rustig en stil het was in een relatief drukke wijk. Jammer dat ‘Nederlands’ niet als taal kon worden gekozen bij de avondtoegang.
