“Honest opinion”

In all fairness the rooms are really nice, bathroom is lovely & has conditioner which is rare at a hotel for me, only criticism is the windows are very dirty & i think the breakfast is overpriced not many options for 15 euros per day in my opinion. I don’t think location is a problem as bus stops that lead to the city centre etc are easily accessible

“Excellent staff in a great hotel made for a wonderful city break”

We were particularly impressed by the excellence of the staff. The hotel itself was very comfortable and clean. The location was great. It is just a short walk from the 369 Schiphol Airport bus stop and from tram stops in the centre. The room was roomy and had a good coffee pod/ hotwater machine. The room we stayed in, 187, only had a view of the other side of the hotel; this didn't matter to us, as the hotel is in a quiet suburb of the city. Within a short walk were supermarkets, grocery stores, cafes and restaurants, a barber and a bicycle shop, But, what made this an excellent stay was the way the staff in Reception, the Breakfast room and the room cleaners were all very friendly, efficient and helpful. This is continued even when we accidentally left something in the taxi on the way to the airport at our departure; Lalla and Apostolos helped us to find the item and to have it couriered to our home in the UK.

“X marks the spot”

Just what you need. Enough to use as a base whilst exploring the city. Just one bus ride in to the city centre. Like a premier inn. Christina was extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

“Great weekend. Average room.”

A weekend here with 2 teenagers. Checked in late & despite being very accommodating, chap on reception desk was a bit unsure about some of our queries. The self service check in meant we didn’t receive details about when/where breakfast would be served. Bedside light not working/no TV reception. Both of these had to wait until the next day. Worth noting that it’s square pillows on each bed. We requested more as we felt one per bed was not enough. We had a room on the ground floor. It was average, at best. Lots of stains/marks on the walls & the room had quite a strong odour of damp. It was also very cold on arrival. Only 3 hangers in the wardrobe between 4 of us. The damp smell subdued a little the next day. Perhaps because we put the air con on. Also worth noting the air con is noisy. Bathroom seemed more updated that the room. Great shower. 👍🏻 Breakfast in the hotel was lovely. A very friendly & welcoming atmosphere from staff. A great selection of items. Location is a little out of town but very easy to hop on a tram into city centre. Some nice little independent eateries nearby, and a Jumbo & Albert Hein too. Excellent market on the doorstep with lovely, fresh produce. Overall, a great stay. Let down a little by the condition of the room.
