The hotel offers comfortable rooms with spacious beds, although the noise from neighboring rooms can be quite loud. The friendly and helpful service staff goes the extra mile, especially when dealing with any issues. The location is excellent, providing easy access to various city attractions and transportation options. However, the dining experience falls short with limited breakfast hours. Overall, a great value for money stay with some minor drawbacks to consider.

This hotel is perfect for slim gaming nerds and friends with good noise tolerance who don't mind close rooms without air conditioning but appreciate a big screen. The location is quiet and cozy, a great change from the Centrum, with easy access to walk around. Dining could use more variety but is delicious despite being slightly pricey.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. Despite the small room size and lack of facilities, the location across from a park with a wonderful market and close to multiple tram lines was a big plus. The service, while friendly, could have been more attentive. Dining options were hostel-style and somewhat pricey, but at least there was unlimited coffee and tea available.

The hotel is situated in a wonderful neighborhood with plenty of small restaurants and the vibrant Albert Cuypmarkt nearby. The rooms were well-equipped and spacious, though some finishing touches were still missing, such as bathroom LED lights. The view facing the park was delightful, while the front of the building was a bit ordinary.
