We stayed at your hotel during our trip from Eindhoven to Amsterdam. The deluxe room was very spacious, the bed comfortable. The only flaw was the lack of bathrobes, and slippers, which you take for granted in a room of this standard, and therefore don't bring anything from home. In fact, I would have expected some accessories/gadgets for the price paid.

⚠️ SHOCKING: "Hotel is not equipped with heating" – WE FROZE! "If you expect a warm room in a 4-star hotel, DO NOT STAY HERE. Our experience was a nightmare. The room was freezing cold. When we contacted the front desk, they explicitly messaged us stating: 'The hotel is not equipped with heating' (See the attached screenshot!). For a 4-star hotel in the Netherlands to claim they have no heating ...

The hotel is nice. Many guests are conference tourists (they host conferences there) in their 30s and 40s and the general athmosphere is sociable. The bed at the studio room was very comfortable. However, cleaning of the toilet was far from sufficient, when I came you could see that the toilet sit was not professionaly cleaned (I asked them to send a cleaner to redo it), lighting around the study...

The breakfast was very tasty with many sweet and salty options. The possibility...

The location is super central, and the room was huge with a very cool industrial design, I absolutely loved it. The bed was incredibly comfortable too. Breakfast was amazing, and the service was always nice and professional. Parking right in front was a great bonus. The only downsides were that there was no AC in my room and I would have expected at least one bottle of water provided. Overall, sti...
