No room service unless you are booked in a suite. Very disappointing after a long day of work and travel. They have a refrigerator in the room and you can buy a mini bar snack pack for 15 euros that includes an assortment of snacks and alcoholic and soft beverages. One more thing- lighting in the room was soft,muted,shadowy. Great for ambience. Not so great for putting your make up on. Overall, nice and I would stay here again.

They have a convenient location to the train station, downtown and shopping. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. There are a couple bicycles available for rent. The Hotel was great for our family. We all loved the cozy breakfast area and their incredible variety for breakfast. The coffee machine made perfect varieties of drinks. I liked the big screen TV with the news. This Hotel was a wonderful part of our vacation.

Called a week prior to arrival and was told I could take a taxi for 80 Euros each way. This would be more than the 106 cancellation fee charged for cancelling the reservation. What was so disappointing was that if had they simply responded to my initial inquiry I would have been able to cancel for less, very shady practice.

The location is serene and quiet.Rent bikes from the hotel and around the country side and ride to Harderwijk to sip wine by the river Vecht. The rooms are like little private residences and not hotel-esq at all. Updated, modern and clean. The restaurant staff and amazing food is mind blowing. I recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. We will stay here again next year. The location is easy enough to take the train to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. We were over impressed with this hotel and wish we could have stayed another night. Highly recommend this hotel.
