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.
Room Quality
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.

Simple room in a great location for a short stay.
Pros:

Great location, great sized family room and easy check in and out despite reception not being staffed.

Cons:

Nothing particularly. Was on the pricey side given the facilities on offer (no breakfast option for example). We wouldn’t have wanted to stay more than one night.

Im Großen und Ganzen oK und zu empfehlen
Pros:

Es gab kein Frühstück, dafür Kaffee u.Tee frei.
Das Hotel liegt in der Innenstadt.

Cons:

Die Heizung wurde nur lauwarm, das Hotel konnte trotz meiner Bitte um Abhilfe daran nichts ändern.
Deshalb war es im Zimmer ziemlich kühl.

Für eine Nacht ok, aber zu teuer
Pros:

Tolle Lage

Cons:

kein Personal, digitaler Schlüssel hat nicht funktioniert - ich stand vor verschlossener Tür. Der AI-Assistent war nicht hilfreich. Nach einem Telefonat wurde mir eine Schlüsselkarte gebracht.
Das Zimmer hatte die Basic-Ausstattung.
Dafür ist der Preis einfach viel zu teuer.

Habitación muy pequeña y muy caro
Pros:

La ubicación es buena, céntrico pero sin ruido, en pleno casco antiguo de Gouda, con muchas tiendas y restaurantes cerca. Tiene una terracita muy maja, para tomar un café

Cons:

La habitación en muy pequeña, apenas se puede pasar hasta el baño. La ducha no se sujeta en el soporte, la ducha es enana, las cortinitas de la ducha no evitan que se salga el agua, haría falta poner una mampara en lugar de estas cortinillas. Solo tiene enchufes en un lado de la cama.
