Tjeerd Sjonk

Loved the hotel. Great service and facilities. On walking distance from the old town (20m-30m). Other options also fine. Uber is very cheap and public transport closeby. Just didnt like the garage not easily accessible by stairs or lift from the appartments. Got lost in the garage, ended up in a completely different building, had to get to a completely different lift. Minor inconvenience fir an otherwise great stay.
