It is outdated and feel like you walked into the 70's. The cushions are horrible and cannot be used for sleeping at all. The place is very noisy with people comming and going as late as 2am in the morning, standing in the parking area and visiting. We arrived at 16h00 and was checked in by security. Only then were we notified of a breakage fee for which I had to give my full credit card info which was written on a piece of paper (not very secure) Some of the services were only available when you purchase vouchers and this could only be done during office hours. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 8 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 18 Feb 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Aug 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Quinten 24 Jul 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Furniture is old ##### Quinten Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfekt für Familie Wir wählten dieses Hotel um uns nach dem langen Flug ans Land zu gewöhnen.
