    The room could be cleaner.

    Everybody was so friendly and they helped us change the room even late by night.

    It was super dirty. That was the bad part of it. The floor was super dirty, the curtains and inside part of windows were dusty. I am not sure if the bed was clean, there was hair on the bed sheets, but they did not smell badly. Even that was not allowed to smoke inside the building, there was a strong smell of smoke in the hall. I didn’t find a fan and the room was hot at the end of the day which made a little bit harder to sleep well. I understand being a simple room specially because of the value of money, but the dirty part was complicated.

    The staff was very kind and gentle. Having my own key allowed me to have the freedom to come and go on my own time. There were few restaurants close by and view of the wind mill was nice.

    Tried to contact the hotel by phone and via booking many times but could not get through. They did not answer neither the phone nor the messages on booking. It smell like cigarette smoke everywhere. The wi-fi was very bad.

    Free parking outside the hotel.

    Good place in it's class, underrated by people who don't understand that. My only minor is a (very clean) WC outside the room, but just 6 steps away. Hovering can be done better.

    Good location, comfortable beds, good wifi, TV, fridge, shower. Coffee/tea maker and Great typical Dutch neighborhood pub downstairs.

    The hotel has great potential and the location is beautiful and the price is pretty good. But the overall experience wasn't really nice because it was very loud at night, the other guests act disrespectful, they were blowing their noses, coughing, and slamming doors all night long, and it was hard to sleep because of audibility. On the ground floor, there is a bar, where also was a party all night and it was pretty loud. The room needs to be cleaned properly, and the balcony as well, and the bedside tables are falling apart. Also, please notice, there is a shower in the room, but the toilet is shared in the hall.

    The room was nice and spacious. There were enough towels, a kettle, and a fridge. The location is really nice, the hotel placed in a beautiful city with nice commuting. The train station and a bus stop are near so you can go anywhere easily. We had a room with a view of a windmill, it was very nice.

    Very intensive smell of disinfection. Toilets wasn't in our room.

    Location was brilliant. Free parking on the street was great, but you need luck for place. Very nice lady. Good place for one night.

    It wasn’t very clean. The ventilation was dusty, the drawers haven’t been cleaned in a long time, and it was just generally dusty. The room was very noisy, you could hear the music from the cafe/bar till 2am very very well. I could also hear my neighbours very well, since the walls were very thin. There are very steep stairs, so not very wheelchair friendly. It said there is free parking, but it’s shared with the residents there, so I was only able to find a free parking spot once. The last time I had to park 6 minutes walking away and it was paid. Overall, the property is fine for what you pay for it, but it’s not amazing.

    The location is very central. You can walk into the center easily. There is a bus stop nearby if you need it. There is wifi, but I did have to ask for the password. I wasn’t given it.
