Tolle Lage und Aussicht, sehr gutes Frühstück, alles sauber!
Pros:

Gute Lage, gute Busverbindung nach Amsterdam.
Ausblick vom 8.Stock und in Traum, auch beim Frühstücken im 7. Stock. Toller Blick auf das Wasser.
Parkplätze super, allerdings etwas kompliziertes Eim-Ausfahren, wegen der Freischaltung des Tickets. Besser die App installieren. Sehr nett fanden wir die täglich aufgefüllten Bonbongläser und Obst vor den Aufzügen. Frühstück sehr gut, frisches Obst, Kaffeespezialitäten, große Auswahl.
Zimmer etwas dunkel (Industriedesign), um Bad könnte es heller sein. Fenster kann man nicht öffnen, auch auf Nachfrage nicht, Zimmer haben dafür Klimaanlage. Großes Plus: Kühlschrank im Zimmer, der leer und nicht gerappelt voll ist 👍.
Personal versteht etwas Deutsch, sonst niederländisch oder Englisch.

Cons:

Fenster nicht zu öffnen
Zimmer etwas zu dunkel
TV: nur ARD und ZDF für die Deutschen

Ruhiges, angenehmes Hotel direkt am Wasser
Pros:

Wunderschön am Wasser gelegen, für den Preis wirklich große Zimmer, alles modern und sehr sauber. Bequemes großes Bad, kein unnötiger Schnickschnack im Zimmer, Wasserkocher aber vorhanden (Kaffee!). Vor allem aber himmlisch ruhig. Wir haben keinen Ton gehört und prächtig geschlafen.
Es gibt eine Bar mit ein paar kleinen Gerichten, falls man abends nicht mehr aus dem Haus mag.
Personal gut geschult und freundlich.
Die Bushaltestelle ist etwa 10 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt, eine Bahnhaltestelle noch ein paar Meter weiter vorhanden. Direktverbindungen zum Bahnhof und zum Museumplein.
In der Nähe gibt es einige Restaurants, sonst aber nicht viel. Nachts ist das Viertel komplett still.

Cons:

Beim WLAN ist Luft nach oben.

OK stay
Pros:

Nice hotel. Clean. Friendly stuff. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

The lobby restaurant/bar is a rip-off. We paid one 8.4 EUR for a 1.5l bottle of water because there is no other shop in the area. Again 8 euros for a 1 euro water. I think this should be thought about the management of this is truly the smartest way to make profit. Also the food at the same restaurant/bar should be avoided. I don’t mind paying Dutch hotels burger prices but the pictures will speak for themselves.

Modern and comfortable hotel for a longer stay
Pros:

Nice modern decor hotel. Specious room, comfy beds.

Cons:

The biggest minus is the cleaning. Actually it seemed the reem didn’t see wet mop “for ages”. My daughter got the allergy from the dust. Dusty where everywhere. The gair band was on the floor upon arrival and it was still there until the departure:(

Solides Ausflugshotel
Pros:

Gute Verbindung an das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz. Guter Parkplatz. Saubere Zimmer. Freundliche Mitarbeiter

Cons:

Zimmer sehr dunkel. Fenster können nicht geöffnet werden. Handtücher werden auch dann gewechselt wenn man es nicht wünscht (greenwashing?). Fernseher hat 2 Tage nicht funktioniert und wurde auch erst nach 2. Hinweis in Stand gesetzt.

Comfortabel verblijf op een mooie locatie.

Schoon, sfeervol hotel, zeer ruime kamer, goede locatie, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

Modern aber moderat im Service
Pros:

Modern eingerichtet
Gutes Frühstück und kostenlos für Kinder bis 12

Cons:

Wir mussten als Familie im 3. und 8. Stock getrennte Zimmer beziehen. Das 3er Zimmer war nicht vorbereitet und erst nach über 1h kam jemand mit der Bettwäsche. Es waren 2 Monate Zeit seit der Buchung um das zu planen. Nächste vernünftige Möglichkeit zu essen ist mind. 15min zu Fuß entfernt.
