Reviewed Sep 14, 2026Convenient location.
Booked for a couple but was provided things like towels, water, rusks and sweet for one person and I was not happy about that. Just that I would leave the room early in the morning and come back very late, thus I didn't find chance to address that. Secondly the towels are very old.

Reviewed Apr 9, 2026The location was straight forward and near my conference, 3 minutes away to be precise. The location is central to everything required, great location.
The fact that the bedside light are far slightly far from the best, meaning you have to literally get up and switch off the light, would have been better of there was a side lamp.

Reviewed Mar 29, 2026Our room was great. It had everything we needed for a one night stay. TV, air con, small kitchen, etc. It was clean and tidy and the staff were very pleasant.
The only thing we didn’t like was the thin walls of the room. During the night we could hear the person next door on the phone but the walls are so thin we could hear both sides of the conversation. He then watched TV until 2am but again, we could hear every word of the TV. Maybe we were just unlucky (we were in room 13!) or maybe the guest next door was just really loud but it was disappointing that our overnight rest stop wasn’t really restful. Other than that, it was great!

Reviewed Jan 28, 2026Het complex bestaat uit 13 appartementen. Ons appartement was ruim van opzet met goed bed, tafeltje, kast, douche en keukentje. Het keukentje had een koelkast, magnetron, waterkoker. Was er ook een kookplaat geweest dan hadden we dat fijn gevonden; maar we wisten dat dat er niet was. Prima was het feit dat de AC in het keukentje hing waardoor je als je in bed lag niet gehinderd werd door de koude luchtstroom.

Some of the other guests were very noisy, shouting, drinking and making a noise in the car park late in the evening. The electric gate is very noisy when opening and closing, disrupting sleep. Would have preferred if the noisy guests issue could have been dealt with or rules better applied with consequences.
