On-site parking and free pool noted
Cons:
Breakfast area crowded / too small at peak times

Occasional missing or inadequate in-room items (no fridge, limited cups, missing brush)

Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mostly reported as clean by many guests, but there are isolated issues (worn/old carpet, a hole in a towel, missing brush in bathroom) that bring this slightly below target.
Service
8.9
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful; a few operational hiccups (parking gate response) were resolved by staff, supporting a strong positive score used to help balance weaker areas.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised for an excellent, central location (close to event starts, tram at the door, good for sightseeing), justifying a high score.
Room Quality
8
Mixed reports: some guests had large, comfortable rooms with pillow choices; others found rooms small, dated or noisy (street), and some lacked conveniences like a fridge.
Amenities
7.6
Breakfast quality often praised and a free pool was noted, but complaints about crowded/small breakfast space, limited in-room tea/coffee items and unclear parking access lower this score.
Value for Money
7
Several guests felt the price was high for a basic room (one guest cited nearly €300) and parking costs were a concern, so value is rated below the overall target.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast is frequently described as good or of quality, though busy and space-constrained at times; overall food/beverage scores are above average but tempered by crowding.
Overall Experience
8.8
Many guests called the stay 'perfect' or 'does exactly what it should', praising location and staff; this positive overall impression is reflected in a strong score.

Pros:

De ligging van het hotel, we logeerden er vanwege het bijwonen van een evenement in het sportpaleis.
Super goeie bedden..

Cons:

Het ontbijt, wat een drukte.. Veel te kleine ruimte voor al die hotelgasten..
Koffie en thee was op de kamer voorzien, spijtig genoeg maar voor 1 persoon hoewel we er met 2 logeerden..

Pros:

Prima ontbijt.
Goed verzorgd

Cons:

Er stond maar 1 stoel in onze kamer, waar je prettig in kon zitten. En een poef, niet aantrekkelijk voor ons, zeventigers.

Prima
Pros:

Ontbijt was erg uitgebreid, leuk dat we gratis konden poolen, kamer was schoon en we konden nog een lekker thee zetten. Wel onhandig als je een 3-persoonskamer huurt, er maar 2 theekopjes staan.

Cons:

Uitrijden uit parkeergarage; ik kon mijn bon niet gescand krijgen, ik drukte enkele keren op de bel maar er kwam geen reactie. Erg frustrerend. Vooral omdat er al een auto achter me stond. Een mevrouw met een abonnement heeft me geholpen en kon ik uitrijden. Zij vertelde me ook dat ze al veel hotelgasten op deze manier heeft geholpen.
