Good value for money. Nothing luxurious but can't be expected. Friendly staff. more

A great looking hotel... quirky details and and a stylish feel, especially in the communal areas. Our room was a deluxe room in the 100s and it was very white and minimalistic. Sadly it felt very cold and bare. I usually love to arrive back to a hotel room after a day or evening out, but not this one. The... more

Very unprofessional approach from reception staff demanding a 150€ deposit or no check in!!! never heard of that in any hotel in the world and we had stayed in so much better places across europe,surprises... more

This hotel is in a very residential area. Especially when the university across the canal is not open for the summer, this area is practically deserted. The hotel room was on a split level in the C-wing of the hotel on the ground floor. We had to pay 2 Euro an hour for the internet, kill a few spiders in... more
