Zeer goed en fijn verblijf.
Pros:

Locatie is super in het hart van Gouda maar wel de rust in het hotel en binnentuin.

Cons:

Ontbijtbuffet niveau versus overig f&b aanbod en methode. Hier zit een groot verschil.

Unclear Advertising/ Hotel
Pros:

We stayed 5 nights in the Family Suite after extensive research and, unfortunately, the website photos were misleading regarding the room layout.
Pictures shown on website of a bed, two more beds, a tub and a small vanity. A picture of shower tiles or one of soap.

The suite is essentially one room except for the toilet area. What the website does not clearly show is that the shower and vanity are in the same very small, space only a few feet apart. Using the shower soaks the vanity area and floor, making it impossible for another person to use the sink at the same time. For the high price of this room, the design was extremely impractical.

Drawers and cabinets are nonexistent except for a very small desk with a tall stool which is very uncomfortable. No drawers, cabinets or horizontal surfaces to unpack luggage for a 5 day stay.

Safety was another concern. The room contains a steep, twisting staircase leading to the upstairs beds, and both the room and 4th-floor hallway had extremely dim lighting. The hallway also had several steep steps that were poorly lit and difficult to see. As a Registered Nurse, I found the lighting and fall-risk issues concerning. (The owner has referred to the lighting as, “cozy,” in previous responses online.

Heat: Cold in room. Temp can only be adjusted up to 22 degrees. Front desk informed and said nothing they could be done.

Breakfast room: Staff lovely. Food was self serve for most things including coffee. Hardboiled eggs were usually cold. There is a person on alternate days to prepare something hot.

Courtyard is lovely and beautiful. I wish we could have sat outside but it was so incredibly windy and cold that it prevented us from enjoying it for very long.

One important detail that should be disclosed more clearly: the parking lot is located about half a mile from the hotel. This was especially difficult because my husband was having physical difficulties during our stay, and the long walk in cold, windy weather became an added challenge.

Heerlijk hotel in hartje Gouda
Pros:

Prachtig gebouw, fantaistische inrichting!

Cons:

Het enige dat tegenviel en dat is niet eens tegenvallen, was de koffiemachine op de kamer. Die deed het niet zoals ik had verwacht. Maar dat was dan ook het enige!
