Cleanliness
1
Generally reported as clean (clean sheets, rooms described as 'netjes en schoon'), though isolated mentions of mildew smell in bathroom in one review.
Service
1
Consistently poor: digital check-in/key failures, unanswered calls, no on-site staff, confusing access instructions and long waits to receive key cards.
Location
1
Repeatedly praised as centrally located and quiet (side street near the centre), convenient for visiting the city and with nearby parking.

1
Mixed to negative: some rooms spacious and tasteful but frequent complaints about small or cold rooms, lack of TV or mirror, limited ventilation and shower issues.
Amenities
1
Limited amenities: no staffed breakfast, vending machine problems, missing in-room items (TV, glasses), digital-only access reduces onsite services.
Value for Money
1
Several guests called the price reasonable and rooms 'tegen een schappelijke prijs', despite service and amenity shortcomings.
Food and Beverage
1
No breakfast offering on-site and vending machine malfunctioned; one guest noted lack of nearby affordable breakfast options.
Overall Experience
1
Mixed overall: strong location and cleanliness balanced against repeated access/check-in problems and limited amenities; experience varied by guest.

Terribile. Assolutamente da non consigliare.
Pros:

L’unica cosa che mi è piaciuta della struttura e la posizione

Cons:

Non mi è piaciuta assolutamente il metodo del check-in che è stato molto complicato e difficoltoso. Non eravamo i soli fuori.
La mattina successiva, sono andato a fare colazione e la K card non funzionava già più per fortuna c’era la signora delle pulizie che mi ha aperto.
Inoltre, non mi è piaciuto: la stanza molto piccola con le travi oblique e basse, l’accesso al bagno è estremamente scomodo e il lavandino fuori dal bagno.

Pros:

De ligging in het centrum.

Cons:

2 pers Zolderkamer 9 is zeer klein, door de schuine balken van de dakconstructie kan je nauwelijks om het bed heenlopen.
De mechanische ventilatie staat dag en nacht aan, zit boven het bed, maakt veel herrie en is niet uitschakelbaar, door vorige gasten al dichtgestopt met toiletpapier...
Bij verstellen van de douche komt de hele stang los van de muur.
De wastafel zit niet in de badkamer maar in een kast naast het bed.

Pros:

De locatie is super! Heerlijke bedden. De kamer was best ruim. Koffie en thee aanwezig. Prima faciliteiten voor 1 nacht.

Cons:

Het was erg warm in de kamer 's nachts en er waren maar 2 kleine raampjes om open te doen (familiekamer) en dat hielp helaas niet. En het was niet eens zo'n warme dag.

Pros:

Location is decent

Cons:

Zero noise insulation, plus incorrect input from the hotel team regarding access to the shared area (we were told that the area can be used before the checkin time but it was not possible).

Post checkin, wonderful stay.
Pros:

Great location. Central to everything.

Cons:

Bad checkin process. Forced to watch a video for checkin. Just an all round painful checkin experience.

Comfortable & good place to stop for a night, hotel was a 2 star but overall comfortable.
Pros:

Property was in a great location.

Cons:

Very impersonal. AI chat did its job, but would be nice to talk to someone. No real sound proofing, could hear guests above moving around .

Pros:

Fully automated with Bluetooth keys and self check in

Cons:

Size of rooms are tight. It’s fine for sleeping but you wouldn’t want to spend much extra time in the room.

Pros:

Emplacement idéal, le lieu était proposé calme et agréable. Il faut tout de même se préparer à faire Check-in avec une clef électronique et de ne pas avoir de réception dans l’hôtel.
