I was doing business in the area and there were no familiar options with respect to hotels. After looking at the reviews for the various choices available, I chose this place and my two colleagues followed suit. As it turned out, we were very happy with our selection.
I came into Netherlands via a flight and then took a train from Schipol. Deventer was about an 80 - 90 minute train ride. From the train station, it was an €8 trip via taxi. I was running late due to flight delays and, in spite of the fact that the check-in desk closed at 22:00, they were very happy to accommodate me even though I arrived closer to midnight. When I arrived, they kept the bar open for my colleagues and I to use as a place to chat until nearly 1:00 AM.
The young gentleman checking me in as well as the ladies taking care of the front desk and the breakfast area in the morning were extremely pleasant and accommodating. They were very efficient and helpful. They were quite approachable as well.
The facility was on the edge of the town center area and had an elegant vintage feel. The bar area and dining room were both quite lovely. My room was on the second level and I found the accommodations to be much to my liking. The room kept with the vintage theme featuring rafters and beams. The decor was quite pleasant and my quarters in general were adequately spacious and quite clean. The bathroom was sizeable and facilitated adequate maneuverability. The WiFi seemingly worked well and they provided a very nice coffee maker, which was a big plus. The bed was comfortable and the environs were rather quiet allowing me to get good sleep.
The way they did breakfast conveyed a nice homey touch. Rather than a buffet, we were served a set menu that included yogurt and fruit with bread. It was then culminated with eggs and choice of meat. I tried the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and was very pleased with my selection.
The room rate was quite reasonable. My final cost with taxes was €94.50. With the exchange rate at the time, that converted to about $110 USD. This was a very good deal in my estimation.
Overall, I was quite pleased with my stay here. The accommodations were great, the facility was very nice and the breakfast was more than adequate. The package was well priced. I will definitely stay here again if the occasion arises. I would heartily recommend this establishment if you need a place to stay in Deventer. read more
