Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers big and clean rooms with lovely views from higher floors. However, there was a noticeable cigarette smoke smell despite no smoking policy. The service was nice and fun, especially for families. The location is convenient for transportation and close to Erasmus University. The dining options were delicious but pricey. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, but the sofa for the third person was not ready upon our arrival, which was a bit inconvenient. The staff members were friendly and accommodating, making our experience enjoyable. The location was great for those who prefer a quiet area but lacked dining options nearby. The dining options were overpriced, and the Continental breakfast was not worth the cost. However, the hotel offered various services, including room service and housekeeping, which added to the convenience of our stay.
The hotel is conveniently located right next to the university campus with good public transport connections to the city center. The rooms are spacious and clean, but my stay was slightly affected by a dirty towel in the bathroom. The service was very helpful and friendly, although the shared elevator situation was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience was good overall, but the lack of fresh juices and limited fruit options brought down the rating. The location is ideal for campus activities and has efficient staff, making it a great choice for business travelers with a hire car.
The hotel's rooms were a bit on the small side for three people but well-equipped, feeling like stepping into my new apartment. The staff was really helpful and friendly, willing to go the extra mile with some positive points but were unhelpful in assisting with where to go for eating out other than the hotel restaurant. The location was good, nearby the highway and public transportation, making it easy to reach, but in a desert area with few options for dining. The dining experience was very good with a variety of selections but very expensive for what you get. I found the facilities exceptional but felt the price did not match the value for money.
The hotel is situated in a business park, convenient for Erasmus University but lacks dining options outside of the hotel. The rooms were not ready upon arrival, needing a detailed cleaning. The service was exceptional, especially from Mieke at the bar. Dining had a variety of options but lacked consistency in service. The location is suitable for those visiting the university.
