Hier werde ich nie wieder übernachten!

Kein Parkplatz trotz Hinweis auf der Unterkunftseite - dann hätte ich nicht gebucht. Musste den Wagen in einer öffentlichen parkgarage abstellen, voll mit dem Gepäck. Und am noch 10 Minuten laufen. Zimmer direkt neben dem Gasthaus. Meine Bitte um 10 Minuten früheres Frühstück, das erst um acht Uhr!! angeboten wird, wurde abgelehnt, ginge nicht. Ich war einfach 7.50 Uhr da - und alles war fertig. Defekte Kaffeemaschine, kümmerliches Frühstück und das für satte 80€. Nie wieder!

I wasn't expecting a lot from this property given it was so cheap. It met my expectations in that it was a simple, clean place to stay for a night. What was unexpected was a noise like a chainsaw coming from - I think - the bathroom when someone was using the shower. Things were a little chaotic leaving and collecting my luggage but the staff were helpful. Ok for a night but wouldn't have wanted to stay any longer.

Quiet property within a quiet neighbourhood. It's a short walk to the train station where you can connect easily to other towns and cities across The Netherlands. Clean bathroom and sleeping quarters. Would recommend staying here as the base for sleeping and then using the train station for exploring other areas.
