Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Generally reported as very clean in many reviews, though a few guests mentioned a cleaning lapse and a comment that rooms could have been a bit cleaner.
Service
8.4
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and bilingual; accommodating (early check-in, responsive to issues) which supports a strong service score.
Location
9
Consistently praised as excellent — very close to the train station, central and convenient for restaurants and transport; location is the hotel's strongest point.
Room Quality
6.7
Rooms noted as modern, quiet and with comfortable beds, but several mentions of small bathrooms, tired furniture and at least one poor view/room-cleaning timing issue lower this score.
Amenities
8.2
Positive mentions of free coffee, free water, soda on tap in the foyer, air-conditioning and complimentary transport cards; limited parking and small elevator are minor drawbacks.
Value for Money
7.7
Mixed signals: some guests explicitly called it good value, others found it a bit expensive; overall slightly above average for value.
Food and Beverage
7.6
Breakfast described as good and varied (notably smoked salmon), although sometimes served in a nearby hotel — generally positive but not outstanding.
Overall Experience
8.1
Most guests report a positive stay (would return, romantic views, convenient for travel) with minor issues (noise, small facilities) that do not outweigh the positives.

Disappointed stay for overall cost.
Pros:

The room was extremely small. Hotel staff were very pleasant. Hotel location very close to thr train station. The hotel lift was quite helpful.

Cons:

The breakfast was significantly below average. Not much to chose from for the overall stay price. We were required to leave the hotel, cross the busy street and have breakfast in another hotel property.

Hotel goed gelegen bij station en centrum
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel. Dicht bij station en centrum.

Cons:

Ontbijt aan de overkant in een ander hotel en dat was maar basic. Kopkussen en bed waren zacht. Niet zo goed geslapen daardoor.
