Reviews and Ratings

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often highlight the modern and clean rooms, sometimes describing them as recently renovated, with comfortable beds and often equipped with smart TVs. The hotel's location near the highway is appreciated for easy access, and the underground parking with EV chargers is a definite plus for drivers. While most find the breakfast decent, a few guests have felt the quality could be improved; however, the hotel's proximity to the Brasserie De Stroom offers an alternative dining option.

Impressed with my stay

great designsmall kitchenetteoverlooked request
The room design provided separation when the kids used the sofa bed. I could keep an ear out while they slept, a HUGE plus. Everything maintained a clean standard and was comfortable. A small kitchenette included a pod coffee machine plus a kettle.
My request, communicated ahead of arrival, was not acknowledged initially. The staff later did their best to accommodate me. This oversight required more effort on their part to assist effectively, showing a need for better communication.
