Reviews of Hotel Cafe The Windmill

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

The room could be cleaner.

Near to nice town.

Poorly maintained with doors bashed in. No toilet in the on suite bathroom. Scruffy bedding. Dangerous stair case.

It is not a cafe it is a bar.17 nearly vertical half steps to the first floor. Own shower with a strong smell of sewage coming from the drain.Toilets on landing with one or the other not working. 13 more stairs to the next level.It is reminiscent of drivers digs 50 years ago..

It was good place to stay , right near to canal, town centre, windmills and museums. Room was comfortable and with good bath room , it even had a scenic balcony as well and was comfortable. Host is friendly. Bar downstairs was good to use .

Could Have been milk and more choice of coffee!

Welcoming staff at check-in.

Cleaning staff needs an eye check. This is the dirtiest place we have ever slept in. Sadly enough we had alredy paid before we entered the room. You have to climb a steep and narrow staicase to get to your room. Yes, you have a private bathroom, but toilets (also dirty) are shared with everyone on your floor. There is a water heater in the room, but what has it been used for? The plastic cups were alredy used. The beds... I think the sheets were clean. Duvets smelled of perfume. The floors were not vacumed or cleaned. The walls have mysterous spots, and the curtains are about to fall off. Our advice: If you come by car, sleep in it!

It's a great location, very friendly staff and a great price

The room smelled muffy. The bathroom smelled like sewage and we could also smell it in the room. Apart from that, it had an unpleasant smell that we couldn't really pinpoint, just a general stuffiness. It cleared up after opening the window and turning on the fan, and at some point you get used to it, but still it wasn't a pleasant experience. The sheets were clean, but we had the impression the floor hadn't been vacuumed in a while. Another point of frustration was that the curtain rail was broken, so the curtains didn't close.

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.

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 hospitality was excellent, we were welcomed warmly by some lovely guys, Hank, Linda, Robin and Wout - they really looked after us. They also let us keep our bikes inside at night to keep them safe and Robin let us in in the morning to get them out which he didn’t have to do. The rooms were also a decent size and well equipped, we slept well.

Nothing good here, unless you're absolutely strapped for cash – but even then, I don’t think it’s worth it. Just pay a bit more and go somewhere better.

The room was not clean at all – coffee cup stains, dead flies… clearly not taken care of. The stairway is super steep and narrow, so if you’re carrying bigger luggage, good luck – you’ll need it. There's only a shower in the room, and the bathroom is shared with like 10 other rooms. The shower itself takes a ton of fiddling and patience to even get hot water. The beds are on wheels and just slide around for no reason. They “provided” coffee and tea in the room, but one instant coffee was already opened, and so was a tea bag… which tells me no one even checked after the last guest. It’s not even about the coffee – it’s the principle. Just shows how little attention they pay to cleaning. One of the windows wouldn’t close all the way, so we had a constant cold draft and no way to heat the room. Basically, froze all night with cold air hitting us while trying to sleep. Total joke.

Lovely people

Not seeing the crazy stalk

The room was very cozy and comfortable. The view from the windows was beautiful and relaxing

There was nothing I disliked during my stay.

Location, friendly staff.

Nothing to dislike

Location is exceptional.

The facilities are in extremely bad shape. The carpet on the floor is extremely dirty. The rooms are very dirty, on the floor and on the walls. There is a very nasty smell on the air. The bedsheets are yellow. There is dust everywhere. The curtains barely shuf off the sun. The kitchen is basically a room for garbage, empty bottles and some boxes. There are holes on the walls. One of the windows in the room didn’t even close.

The location is excellent for exploring Schiedam on foot. The beds were comfortable and there is a kettle in the room. Shower and basin in the room, with shared toilet a few doors down the hall.

The kettle could only be filled in the shared kitchen. The kitchen is no longer used as a kitchen, but as a store room for the owners and it was not clean. Steep, narrow stairs to the rooms.

Value for money
