Superfijn verblijf op een toplocatie, heel centraal, met behulpzaam en betrokken personeel.
Pros:

De locatie, de ruime kamer, goed restaurant beneden. Personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. En we kregen een upgrade!

Cons:

De schoonmakers waren de eerste dagen niet geweest, maar het hotelpersoneel heeft ons keurig gecompenseerd

Our 1st Stay and Not Our Last
Pros:

I booked Hotel 48Lex specifically because of the proximity to FoundStudy. I was pleasantly surprised by the calm boutique vibe. We received a complimentary room upgrade and the staff was always kind, professional and anticipated our needs. If you get the breakfast package, know that its a voucher towards breakfast it doesn't include breakfast for everyone in your reservation.
