This hotel was wonderful! The room was so spacious and bright. The shower was so relaxing and spacious. The toilet was separate from the bathroom which was a nice feature. The breakfast buffet was delicious, abundant and staff was friendly. The on site restaurant- Limoncello- was FANTASTIC! The waitstaff, especially Jen, was so friendly, informative and charismatic. My family and I would absolutely stay here again!!
A one night stopover, absolutely perfect for what we needed. Travelling with dogs, the hotel was very accommodating. Underground car park with plenty of space.
Best stay so far. Clean room, modern design, big desk for writing and enjoying coffee, pillow bed comfy, toilet clean and shower all working very well. Very very comfortable stay. Reception great service, recommended me a shopping mall as my shoe sole came off. Im an official fan of Van Der Valk brand now.
As always Van de Valk hotels of high standard did not disappoint. Easy checkin friendly staff. Comfortable and well appointed room. Excellent restaurant ,really well prepared dishes served in a timely manner making it an enjoyable experience
Rooms- the rooms were very specious and well kept. Very high tech i.e. scanning key before selecting floor. Easy to request for room service and 'do not disturb'
Easy control of the heating.
Breakfast- excellent spread of food and choice. The best breakfast I have had for a long while. Minimum 10/10 rating.
Staff- nothing to fault. Great level of service and staff very friendly and approachable. Very professional.
Location- great to get into town very easily with cabs/Uber.
I would highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely be returning.
