Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location by the water, close to everything and offering a cozy lounge area for relaxing evenings. The rooms are smaller than expected with limited amenities, but they do offer a view of the water. Service is good, and dining options are available until early evening, though with a narrowed menu selection. The facilities are decent, ensuring a comfortable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room had a stunning view, but the curtains didn't provide much privacy, and the lighting could've been better. However, having a bathtub in the room with a nice water view was a real treat. The service was excellent, and the location was ideal, especially the terrace at night. The dining options were a bit pricy, but the outside lounge bar had a spectacular view. The facilities were fantastic, including a lovely lounge area by the water.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms lacked proper hanging space and felt a bit cramped, but the view of the canal was lovely. The service was a hit and miss, and the location was convenient for exploring the city on foot. The dining options were limited, but the lounge area by the water was a nice touch.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were modern looking, very spacious, and had a great bed, but the design made me feel exposed when I opened the curtains. Despite the comfort, they lacked cleanliness and felt smaller than advertised. The service was friendly but needs improvement. The location was convenient for exploring on foot but rough outside the property. The dining experience, though filling, was limited to Asian dishes only. Overall, a decent stay with room for enhancement.
The hotel had a modern look and my room was very spacious with a great bed and an amazing shower, but the windowless aspect made it feel a bit claustrophobic. The location was rough outside but very close to the city, the ferry, and NDSM event hall. The dining options were basic with no hot meals available in-room, only via a bag, but the Spanish food was awesome.
