    een heel bijzondere locatie, letterlijk naast de toegang naar de kathedraal, de moeite waard!

    De persoonlijke en hartelijke ontvangst van de medewerkers aan de receptie, en de leuke ideeën die werden gegeven om iets te ondernemen, en waar naartoe te gaan.

    The wife loved it...

    The location and comfortable room were great, the view over butter Square was great.

    The possibility of having some nets over the windows for privacy would improve the staying experience.
