This hotel is great if you like BUGS. The hotel is located a distance from the city center (about 5km) and is not easy to access on foot. While it is inexpensive, it is also cheaply furnished, threadbare, and dirty. Our first room was infested with roaches, fleas, ants, and other bugs that we couldn't identify. The walls are paper thin and you can hear every breath your neighbor takes.
Despite the spartan and tired accommodations, we found the front desk staff to be argumentative, rude, and dismissive during our stay. When presented with evidence of roaches (I literally took a dead roach to the front desk), I was at first ridiculed, and then treated as if I were the crazy person for alleging that it was a roach. I was told in no uncertain terms that roaches "do not exist in the Netherlands." I suppose that would be fine, but certainly doesn't explain the fleas or ants we found either. It was very forcefully and aggressively explained that the hotel NEVER has had a problem with bugs.
After reporting and presenting the dead roaches, the situation fell down an absurd European rabbit hole of cray cray. The roach was "sent for testing" and the "person who exterminates bugs for us." (Doubly curious, considering that the day before we were told that the hotel has never encountered a bug in its long and illustrious run.) The "report" from the "person" will--allegedly--be sent to us in a week... as if it makes a difference, because as I said the room was infested with all matter of bugs, not just roaches.
The hotel manager very reluctantly offered a free breakfast in exchange for our trouble: No thanks, we'll pass on a buggy breakfast.
Hotels are plentiful in this charming city. I would strongly suggest finding accommodation elsewhere. read more
