The room is absolutely perfect for a couple, very good bathroom and double bed but terrible/unusable third sofa bed converted into bed; this accomodation is not suitable for a couple with 1 child; location and access to public transport and shops is also very good; it should not be marketed as an accomodation for couples with children at all, cheers

It was my first time using digital passkey so it was a little confusing but nice way of going in and out. The room was clean and subtle. Bathroom was really nice. We came late night it would have been nice to have free bottled water In the fridges just like the complementary tea/coffee is provided as the places.around the area is closed. Other than that, really nice. I didn’t like the pillow, it was too high, I’m not sure why it was so high and small. The room also has a controllable AC. We left the place and came back at night and our beds were redone and it was really nice.

Donna

Disliked: Amenities
There is no a/c or ventilation in the hallways and they are very dirty. Carpets are covered in stains. The elevator is out of order, which, if we had known beforehand would have resulted in us changing hotels. My husband has difficulty walking and stairs are even more difficult, especially with luggage. When we got into our room, the temperature was about 90 degrees because the a/c was not on. The room is a decent size but the carpets aren’t very clean. The view from the room and the balcony are the only positives.

Positives - lovely view of a windmill from our corner room (101), good coffee machine, lovely bathroom, comfortable bed. Negatives - the online door locks are a nightmare. We arrived tired and couldn't get into our room. We had the digital key and could get in the main door but couldn't get into the room. There was another guest struggling in the entrance area when we arrived. After failing to access our booking on the screen (as we didn't have a reservation code, as we'd booked through Expedia) we had to call for help. We finally managed to get in using the digital key by sliding the key to the right repeatedly in quick succession. Awful system. The screen in the room said there would be someone in 'reception' from 8:00 to 11:00 each day. There was no one around when we left at 9:00. There was a broken lamp in the room and the corridors smelt of mould. Shame as the view from outside the pancake house was stunning and we would have happily paid extra to have breakfast whilst enjoying that view.

Chocolate aroma everywhere!

The website listed a room on the canal, but when we got there it stated outside the front door that we would be staying at the annex. Not sure if this is because we booked through hotels.com or they were full at the main boutique hotel. We found the annex and there was free parking right outside! Very nice! Our room was up two straight staircases (nice after winding staircases in other hotels) it led us to an open shared balcony that had 4 doors - one for each room. The room was clean and very comfortable! Slight dust, but otherwise perfect! Close to all the things we wanted to do AND the whole village smells like chocolate!! It’s how I hope heaven smells like. The staff was helpful when we needed them. Everyone in town was very friendly!

Netherlands Experience

Loved the location! The windmills were directly across the water. The view was amazing. The room was extremely comfortable and it had a huge bathroom. Breakfast was included and was perfect for the morning. I loved how it came served on a tiered tray. This whole location is a must stay for anyone looking for a Netherlands experience. I will definitely stay here again.

It was a good stay. The check in process was a bit difficult as we had no way to call when we ran into an issue. Luckily one of the restaurant workers attached to the hotel helped us out. Our digital key didn’t come until after 4 pm when it was supposed to be guaranteed by 3pm. The room was down the street from the main hotel which was a bit odd and was not clearly communicated during booking.
