Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers amazing rooms with spacious layout and essential amenities, though some areas could use a renovation. The service is brilliant and friendly, with a great location close to various attractions. The dining experience is typical Dutch style, and the facilities are well-appointed.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfy, with a nice view of the garden courtyard one floor up, despite the lingering smell of cigarettes. The staff, who have been with the family for 40 years, were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure my comfort. The location was ideal for me, within easy reach of the city center and right next to public transportation options. The dining experience was satisfactory, offering a good mix of savory and sweet options, but on the basic side. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
The hotel is located conveniently close to the city center, making it easy to access attractions, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The rooms, although a bit dated and plain, are clean and exactly as shown in the photos. The service was friendly and helpful, even offering travel tips. The dining options were varied, with good choices for different dietary needs. However, the decor and facilities could benefit from a refresh.
