Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a convenient location near the center and Central Station, although slightly closer would have been better for cold winter walks. The rooms were tiny but clean, with limited storage options, no natural light, just a dark ‘lichthof’. The service was welcoming and friendly throughout, but with occasional rude encounters. Dining was a letdown with no plates or glasses, although the quality was decent despite the live kitchen being closed. The facilities were basic but nice.
The hotel rooms were very spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. However, there were some issues like the room being cold and dirty cobwebs in the shower. The walls also had holes punched into them, and there was no Wi-Fi available. Despite these drawbacks, the rooms were very comfortable, although they got a little noisy at times with passing people and traffic.
My stay at the hotel was quite nice. The rooms were just what my husband and I needed as we were out most days. The breakfast was good, but I wished there was a hot buffet with some hot food during winter. The room was a bit dark with not enough light, a tiny high window, and inconveniently placed tea and coffee-making facilities. On the positive side, the room had four single beds, which was nice.
The hotel was in a convenient location near the central station, with friendly and helpful service. The rooms were modern and really comfortable, although cleanliness could be improved. The dining experience had some issues, but the staff and facilities were enjoyable overall.
The hotel had very friendly staff at the front desk, but the rooms were rather small with a very low ceiling and not well taken care of. The location was ideal for transport, just behind the Red Light District, and the dining options were okay for short stays. Service was lovely and helpful, and the hotel offered tours/ticket assistance. The facilities were decent but lacking in some areas.
The hotel is nicely located, close to the city center and easily accessible. The rooms are cozy with a convenient kitchenette, though accessing the basement room via a narrow staircase may not be ideal for everyone. The service, especially from Batikan, was friendly and helpful. The dining experience offered good food but could have more variety. The hotel's proximity to the central station and attractions makes it a great choice for exploring the city.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was spacious, clean, and well-located with a nice view, but unfortunately, it was quite noisy and lacked a fridge for cold drinks. The service, however, was exceptional, with welcoming and approachable staff who even decorated our room for a special occasion. The location was extremely convenient, close to the train station and main attractions. On the downside, the dining options were limited, featuring typical northern European fare. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks.
The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. The rooms, though a bit outdated and in need of some renovation, were more luxurious than expected, providing a basic double that suited our needs, especially since we were out most days. The breakfast was satisfactory, but we would have preferred a hot buffet during winter.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and well-maintained, I found the prices to be a bit high, especially when traveling with children. The friendly service and convenient location were definite highlights, but the dining options were somewhat limited.
I found the hotel's location to be at the front of the building which offered a tired but convenient spot. The rooms allocated on the 3rd floor were comfortable in general, but could use some updating. The staff were polite and helpful, making the stay pleasant overall.
The hotel had very small rooms, which could be challenging for those with limited mobility, but they were adequate. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, available 24 hours a day at the front desk. The location was near perfect, overlooking water and boats, with easy access to many attractions. The dining experience was excellent each morning, offering fresh and plentiful 'Dutch' meals. The facilities were well-maintained and offered great value for the price.
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The room was cold, dirty, with cobwebs in the shower, and holes punched into the walls. There was no wifi available, and the location at the rear of the property was not ideal.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, close to major attractions, but the room had some safety concerns with narrow stairs and lacked proper lighting. The service was friendly overall, but there was one issue during the night shift. The dining experience was satisfactory, although a bit chaotic at times.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful! The rooms were very spacious, clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were extremely nice and always keen to assist with any requests, providing valuable advice on exploring the city. The location was ideal, offering the best of both worlds - close to all the attractions yet peaceful and tranquil. The dining experience was satisfying with a continental breakfast that had plenty of choices for everyone. Overall, a great value for the money with fantastic amenities.
The hotel is in a convenient location, with a short walk to the train station and easy access to important tourist sites. The rooms, although becoming warm at night, are equipped with a walk-in shower, but noise from the busy road outside can be a nuisance. The service is friendly and informative, offering assistance with requests and travel advice. Dining is satisfactory, catering to continental needs, while facilities are well-maintained. The price is reasonable for the overall experience.
