“Typical Dutch Cafe with good food and helpfull and freindly staff.”
Typical Dutch Cafe, right on a square in the middle of town. Very helpful and friendly staff, first time anyone has offered to carry my luggage in years ! The food is also typical and very good, the service in the restaurant also quick, efficient and super friendly. My room was spacious and clean, and a very comfortable bed. It was all I was hoping for and more.
