Klein traditioneel en zeer schoon hotel vlakbij Scheveningen; met aandacht verzorgd verblijf.
Pros:

Klein hotel dat - ter verademing - eens geen onderdeel uitmaakt van een van de grote ketens. Ontzettend vriendelijke eigenaar die meedenkt met parkeren en er duidelijk plezier aan beleeft gasten te ontvangen. Charmant statig oud pand met bijbehorende kenmerken. Traditioneel ingericht en gebrek aan moderne methodes van beheersen van een aangenaam binnenklimaat, maar alles is werkelijk brandschoon. Ruime kamer, goed verzorgd en aangenaam bed.

Cons:

Het ontbijt wordt met zichtbaar veel aandacht verzorgd en gepresenteerd. Helaas ontkom je er niet aan dat voorkeuren in dieetwensen altijd persoonlijk zijn, en nooit op één wijze voor een ieder in die voorkeuren kan worden voorzien. In ons geval viel het broodontbijt met kaas en vlees daardoor niet in de smaak, omdat wij graag plantaardig eten en 's ochtends de voorkeur geven aan yoghurt met havermout en additieven. Een oplossing zou kunnen zijn de ontbijtwensen de dag tevoren uit te vragen, opdat gericht op de voorkeuren kan worden ingespeeld en voedselverspilling wordt voorkomen.

Perfect place to stay!
Pros:

I had a really nice stay here! The room was spacious and spotless, and it was quiet at night since my window faced the garden. Even though the breakfast setup is just a temporary arrangement, I actually loved having it at the nearby café. The food was great, and they make a perfect black coffee!

There’s a bus and a tram stop right in front of the hotel, and it only takes 20 min to get to the city centre.

Comfortable Stay in a Convenient Location
Pros:

The location of the hotel was very convenient just a 5-minute walk from the World Forum, where my conference took place. It’s also within walking distance of the fishing port, which has plenty of small restaurants, as well as the beach. The hotel is situated right opposite the tram station and close to shops and restaurants, yet the area is very quiet.

My room overlooked the back garden (patio) and was exceptionally peaceful. The walls are thick, so you can’t hear your neighbours, and the ceilings are very high. The room was spotless, warm, and had a splendid bathroom and a very comfortable bed.

Breakfast, served in the café next door, was delightful both the food and the atmosphere. The owner of the hotel is a charming and very helpful gentleman.

I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for somewhere to relax and slow down.

Cons:

The room was comfortable, though it would have been nice to have an electric kettle with tea and coffee available.

Nettes älteres kleines Hotel mit einem tollen Service
Pros:

Sehr netter und freundlicher Inhaber. Wir wurden sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend empfangen. Die Zimmer schon älter aber sehr sauber und mit Liebe eingerichtet! Das Frühstück mussten wir aufgrund von Krankheit des Chefs in der Bäckerei stattfinden was aber auch sehr lecker war! An dieser Stelle wünschen wir dem Inhaber von ganzem Herzen gute Besserung und das er bald wieder fit ist um mit seinen Gästen frühstücken zu können! Er ist ein Hotelier mit sehr großer Leidenschaft! Wir sehen uns garantiert wieder!!😊😊😊

Cons:

Die Parkgebühren, wobei der Eigentümer darauf keinen Einfluss hat da es der Stadt gehört.
Mehr deutsche TV Sender wären schön! Waren leider nur 4 Programme

Cozy stay at Excelsior.
Pros:

Such a cozy and splendid little homey hotel. The host is amazing. Hw is so kind and caring. I felt like at home. Room is cozy small but well planned through. Bathroom is comfy and spotless every day. Place is great as it has tram and bus stop right outside the door, little cute and tasty bakery just downstairs around the corner and little shops at your liking. Beach is a walking distance.

Cons:

There ia nothing I didn't like.

Short trip to The Hague (World Forum)
Pros:

Amazing that places like that still exists: a privately owned and operated hotel! You noticed how you are greeted, been taken care of and talked to! What a wonderful experience. The hotel and the rooms don't boost with modern equipment and shiny details but charm and a bit of history! Distance to the World Forum was good, to public transport even better, a very nice neighborhood and excellent breakfast (even though in the cafe next door, usually in the house). I gladly come back another time!

Cons:

Not much really! The wooden floor aches a bit when walking over, size of the room and facilities are very efficient and pragmatic. Nothing to complain about when you mostly use it for sleeping. For a touristic trip, I would choose a hotel closer to the city.
