after colleagues waxing lyrical about this hotel, I had very high expectations although these were tempered by some of the more recent reviews. Alas, my experience echoes some of the less favourable reviews. Room was quite dated, and at this price what hotel does not include a mini fridge in the room? Room on top floor a the lift breaks down at the floor below, and seems like this is a permanent issue with no resolution in sight. And a bar that does not serve White Wine, you are advised to purchase from a neighbouring establishment..... Breakfast was good....with freshly cooked hot options, but the time it was advertised and the time it was ready tended too depend on who was on duty.....if I recall correctly it was scheduled for a 7am start....which for my work is a little late anyway, but on one occasion it seemed that the 7am start was the time that the 'set-up' began, not breakfast being available. Unfortunately my visit coincided with school holidays, and the night time square from was very disturbing until 3am, 4am....the rooms are not well insulated from outside noise. Most of the staff were absolutely lovely though, but housekeeping tended to be bit variable, bathroom OK but in need of some rather overdue maintenance.

“Ok but not outstanding”

Living in Breda we’ve always looked at this hotel with awe as it looks really neat from the outside and has a luxurious restaurant attached to it.

Living in Breda we’ve always looked at this hotel with awe as it looks really neat from the outside and has a luxurious restaurant attached to it. Upon booking I was sure we’d be in for a quality stay as the photos looked very promising and the nightly rate was also higher than of an average 4 star hotel. At first glance the hotel/room is indeed quite nice with its unique design but there’s definitely a huge lack of interest in maintaining the standard. A lamp was halfway ripped out of the ceiling, the toilet roll holder was broken, the shower handle missing a knob, lots of dust in the wardrobe where the iron is located. “Fireplace” didn’t work (or at least no guidance how to use it, it was just warm to the touch but not lit). Minibar was missing. An advertised special feature of the room was soundproofing; which is only partially true because the music from the street was hearable - even if muffled- and towards the hallway the room wasn’t soundproof. The architect designing the bathroom should probably stay away from his job… as you entered the bathroom you immediately bumped into a tub which you could pass on both sides to access the shower/toilet. I’m a very petite lady and even I felt how uncomfortably narrow the space was. The breakfast was quite okay, seemed relatively basic but offered more than one would expect after taking the first look. Personnel were friendly. It was an ok experience, quite overpriced, wouldn’t necessarily book it again.

“NO HOT WATER”

The check-in was ok. Shower and Bath couldn’t deliver warm water. At he reception this was ingnored. Room was ok. Breakfast was reasonable but not of the standard like the restaurant Chocolat. At least the lack of warm water was a deception.

“Great service, room not up to standard for this price”

Great welcome and very good service. However television channels were not working and neither did the fireplace. Disappointing for the price we paid for the business suite. Staff could not help us much on this.
