Can not believe how good this place is. The room seems to have everything you can think of. Breakfast is readily provided with lots of food. Very happy.
The hotel is above and behind a restaurant where I enjoyed a good meal. Breakfast was excellent, my room was quiet and efficient. I was tired after a flight from the US and it was a great place to spend that first night in Europe. Parking was no problem since I was there from evening to before 9 am the next day.

Nice and easy.
We arrived and parked car behind hotel. Lift took us to our floor, and our room was quite nice and had a view over the Main Street. All very quiet. We had dinner in our hotel, a lively busy venue, and good place to eat. All went well and we slept well. A nice hotel and easy access to the town and to walk the area.
We arrived looking to park the car in teeming rain. Upon entering the rear of the hotel we thought what have we booked here! Checking in at reception the place was full to the brim. The guy who checked me in explaining there was a bird show on in the rear of the hotel.
There was parking at the rear of the hotel, and going out of the front of the hotel saw it was well placed for shopping, bars etc. We had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. Breakfast was even better. Hotel a bit shabby in places, but comfortable.

Breakfast was very complete , beds also good and
During our stay quiet in the surrounding
This hotel is well located on the main street in Elst. I stayed in the room with a balcony. The hotel is keenly priced and had everything required for a work/family trip. The staff were very helpful. I loved the breakfast bar.
We had a lovely week at this hotel. Our room was more than adequate, with a fridge and safe. The breakfast was ample, with hot food available too. There are plenty of shops in the area, all within walking distance.

The price of the room was right. But it was tiny. The Economy Single Room is billed at 14 sq meters. However, room 111 is under 9 sq meters. If I ever went back, I could measure it. I previously stayed in the area at another "old" hotel that was much better value.
The people next door were inebriated and noisy. There is no staff on in the evenings to settle people down.
The hotel dates back to 1924. I would not be surprised if the current management kills it in the next few years.
Most unusual layout bang in the centre of this delightful little village. The lift is a challenge but works!! The staff are delightful and we could not recommend it more highly.
We stayed for 3 nights.
The "standard twins room" is very small.
The small hotel seemed fully occupied.
Everyday there waa a workman outside our room's only window drilling & hammering.
No apologies - too disappointing & no values for money:(
