The perfect “ reception “
Pros:

Travelled 315 miles as part of a working delivery to the docks. The company booked me in to here for ease of convenience and
closeness.
The first person I met with was Amanda - so polite, so friendly and a big smile as an added bonus. Exactly what you want to see after a long days driving.
I wish there were more like her.
Thank you Amanda for everything.

Good hotel.
Pros:

Arrived at the hotel and been welcomed friendly by Amanda. Explanation was clear and friendly.
The room is nice and clean. The location is perfect for a night stay if you need to go to the boat to Hoek van Holland in the early morning.
There is a nice restaurant next to it with good food.
Around the facility there are some grocerie stores and other food restaurants.

Nice hotel
Pros:

Very nice and professional staff, helped me find a local restaurant to visit and was also friendly no matter the time. The manager was brilliant and helped me out with the doors as I had too many bags, I believe her name was Manda. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Would highly recommend

WiFi rubbish and doesn’t support all streaming apps. Customer service poor and shower dreadful.
Pros:

We’ve stayed here a few times before getting the ferry and it’s always been ok.
This time the WiFi was extremely slow so we paid the £5 for the fast WiFi which was even worse.
Our daughter is autistic and non verbal and she has a night time ritual that involves watching Paramount before bed. Due to not wifi she was unable to.
My husband went down several times and explained it wasn’t working for Paramount and we wanted a refund. The member of staff said it wasn’t her department. It’s ridiculous that they can take your money but can’t refund!!
Also the shower was so slow and had no force. It was a light trickle!
For £108 for one night this is extremely poor.

3 week stay
Pros:

Hotel is basic however I would have expected basics in the room such a small fridge and bottled water.

I stayed here for a 3 week period , during the first week my duvet was dirty with stains. No housekeeping unless it’s requested.

However Estelle the receptionist was always very welcoming with a smile which made up for the lack of amenities offered by the hotel

Brilliant staff, nice and clean got what we paid for.
Pros:

The hotel is really clean and staff are really friendly. It’s a shame there isn’t a fridge in the room or air conditioning. I understand that is what we pay for. The staff have always made us feel welcome and got to know us on a personal level. They kept me in the same room for the 3 weeks and that really helped.
I would like to say Estelle really made me feel welcome and looked after my every need. The iron and board both in my room, the heater when I needed it. Towels when I asked absolutely brilliant. Thank you team x

Average Hotel Saved by Exception Hotel Reception Manager
Pros:

Average hotel saved by an exceptional reception manager Amanda. The sometimes awkward booking procedure for groups is often saved by her excellence on the reception. Looked after the guys on the job very well.

Pros:

Stil te hangt af van waar je kamer is. Hij is schoon.
Attent personeel. Restaurant naast de deur.
Parkeren voor de deur - even aanmelden
Kamer voorzien van alle gemakken
Badkamer met bad - niet fijn als je wat ouder bent en douchen wilt.
Om de hoek van de ferry
Lidl op parkeerterrein
