Beds and pillows are comfortable after the long day tour. Amenities are acceptable. Staff are friendly and approachable. You dont have to go anywhere as Bus station 12 is conveniently located at the side of the hotel to wait for the tour buses. The hotel is at walkable distance to the nearest Bonus (Skipholt) grocery store to buy snacks stash for tours."
