Great place in the old city centre of Gouda. Very small room, but that is normal in the Netherlands, especially in the historic centre of a city. Affordable parking was a five-minute walk away from the hotel. This place is extremely computerized and you need to be up-to-speed on technology, there are no staff present at all, and no reliable phone contact with staff, just an AI chatbot. With me not being great with technology, and not receiving emails or QR codes on my cell phone, I had serious problems checking in, and there are no staff present. Fortunately an employee came by just as I was struggling (and failing) to check in, not having a QR code on my phone, etc. There are employees at a "sister property," another hotel not far away, so they gave me a plastic "card key" that I used for the next three days. Apart from check-in problems (which you could say are my own fault) it was great. I do wish that they would state more obviously and clearly on their website (and Expedia website) "we have no staff present at the hotel, you need to have a QR code on your phone".

I think it is unfair to assume that everyone has a digital wallet and knows how to access your digital key. I was unsuccessful in getting on the app you kept sending and sending. In the room, you offer a physical card. Why can’t you afford that ahead of time? I did not mind making a stop at your sister hotel to get his card. But I had to go through the frustrating steps with your AI robot and I believe a real person. If a guest indicates no interest in doing this digitally, they should not be made to feel bad and incompetent because of this.

Checking in is a problem, particularly for people who do not have Internet access everywhere they go, or are not IT saffy. Another guest helped us to get the address and pick up a card so we could enter the facility. In the room was a note that you could pick up an access card elsewhere, which has no purpose at all as you cannot read this note until you are in your room. This note should be posted at the entry door in clearly readable letters. Orange notes on a white background are difficult to read.

The hotel has no front desk, which would not be a problem normally. However, our digital keys stopped working during our stay and our room was missing toilet paper. We ended up having to walk twice to a partner hotel nearby to get a new key and toilet paper. On a another note however, the hotel is located nearby the city center.

Nice little place but having no receptionist and having to deal with someone by phone when you are a foreigner with possibility to make local call is less than desirable. But WORSE than that was the 34 degrees in the room with no AC available and only a fan with a short extension cord !! The room was a sauna all night. So be warned if it is hot outside (as it is now in Europe), do not go there especially than their asking price for a room is no better than other hotels with more amenities

The Guesthouse check-in was frustrating to say the least. We didnt recieve our digital roomkey until 7:42pm nearly 5 hours after check in time. By then we had to find another property where we could pick up room card keys. It was very stressful as there is no where to store luggage before check in. Three days after checking out and the Guesthouse is still trying to get us to pay for a digital card that we never even used once. Im incredibly disappointed.

Tant que la Guest House n'améliorera pas le service d'enregistrement, je ne peux pas donner une note supérieure à horrible. Je suis arrivé à 30 degrés + chaleur après une marche de 2,5 km. La serrure QR ne fonctionnait pas. Le téléphone pour appeler ne fonctionne pas. Un invité a dû me laisser entrer. Il avait aussi le même problème. Mon assistante à Paris a appelé le site qui lui a dit que je possédais 2,88 euros pour la taxe locale, d'où la clé qui ne marchait pas. Aucune mention de cela dans l'email. J'ai payé cela puis je suis allé à l'hôtel voisin pour récupérer la clé. Encore une fois, aucune mention d'indications pour y arriver. Environ 1 heure pour s'enregistrer. Tout ce qu'il faut, c'est un simple e-mail donnant des instructions claires et des explications. Même si la salle était excellente, je n'y retournerais pas par principe.

Kamer was klein en dat was ook bekend. Maar door het schuine dak kon je bijna nergens rechtop lopen. Behalve voor de kleding kast en een kast waar de wastafel in weg gewerkt zit. Douche en toilet zitten achter het bad maar je krijgt de deur niet helemaal open omdat deze tegen het bed aan komt. Matrassen vind ik erg zacht.
