Categories

Cleanliness
7.2
Generally described as clean in several reviews ("clean and quiet", "clean room") but multiple issues noted (chips under bed, floor could be cleaner, mold/moisture stains on ceiling, inconsistent towel service), giving a slightly below-target score.
Service
8.8
Multiple strong positive mentions of staff being friendly, helpful and providing great hospitality (several reviews: "amazing staff", "staff were friendly", "service at reception/bar is great"); some isolated negatives about reception availability/behaviour at night, but overall very positive.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised for location: very near train station, supermarket and town centre, good access to Amsterdam and on-site parking—one of the strongest positives across reviews.
Room Quality
6.2
Mixed to negative comments on room condition: needs some renovation, spartan/simple furnishings, hard pillows, small fridge, some rooms without windows or with see-through bathroom doors; several guests raised comfort and maintenance concerns.
Amenities
7.5
Amenities noted (parking, kitchenette, games/billiard, breakfast area) and generally useful, but some specific shortcomings mentioned (small fridge, missing slippers, limited in-room fixtures), yielding a moderate score.
Value for Money
8
Several guests commented on fair/good price-performance and convenience (central location, parking), supporting a slightly above-target value rating despite some room quality issues.
Food and Beverage
7.5
Limited but positive mentions of the breakfast room atmosphere; no extensive F&B feedback otherwise, so scored moderately positive.
Overall Experience
7.2
Many guests report an overall pleasant stay with standout staff and location, though recurring maintenance/comfort issues (noise, pillows, bathroom privacy, occasional reception problems) temper the overall impression.

Teleurstellende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding: basic kamer met weinig comfort
Pros:

Prima locatie bij het centrum

Cons:

De kamer was erg basic voor de prijs die ervoor wordt gevraagd. De prijs-kwaliteitverhouding is wat ons betreft absoluut niet in verhouding. Alles voelde erg minimalistisch en karig aan. Zo stonden er bij de koffie- en theefaciliteiten slechts één koffiecupje en één theezakje klaar.

Daarnaast was het doucheputje verstopt en misten we een smart-tv. De kamer was bovendien erg fris. Ondanks het volgen van de duidelijke instructies kregen we de verwarming niet goed aan de praat. Ook de bedden waren erg zacht.

Al met al vonden we de kamer behoorlijk tegenvallen, zeker gezien de prijs. Erg jammer, want we hadden voor dit bedrag meer comfort en voorzieningen verwacht.

Bon séjour dans l'ensemble avec quelques améliorations rapides et faciles à mettre en place.
Pros:

Le séjour global s'est bien passé. L'hotel est bien situé proche du train, parking sur place, chambre et literie correctes.

Cons:

Deux points décevants
Le premier, une porte qui donne sur l'ascenseur/escalier claque constamment. La bruit s'entend et se ressent des chambres au premier étage (114 dans notre cas).
Le second, nous avons respecté chaque jour la consigne vis à vis des serviettes pour les conserver pendant notre séjour, mais elles ont été changées à chaque coup. Dommage pour le côté "green"

Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Amsterdam
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, ruhiges Zimmer. Schönes Ambiente im Frühstücksraum. Spiele und Billiard. Gute Parkmöglichkeiten und über den Bahnhof guter Zugang nach Amsterdams Innenstadt. Leichtes Prozedere zum Ein- und Auschecken.

Cons:

Sehr kleiner Kühlschrank in der Kitchenette. 2. Zimmer der Suite hatte kein Fenster, dadurch schwierig zu lüften, trotz Lüftungsanlage. Gläserne Tür zum Bad bietet Einblicke. Boden könnte noch etwas sauberer sein.
