One of the best hotels we have visited. Great room, great area. Great food. Only negative is that we stayed for one night. Next time we will for sure stay longer :)

My wife and I found this hotel to be spectacular and a very good price. We did not sign up for the breakfast, so cannot comment on that. Would definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises.

We had a very large and comfortable room, with an extra child bed. The hotel was very clean, the staff helpful, and the breakfast was very good. We would reserve again

Always return to the same hotel when staying in Netherlands. Such a beautiful location away from noise. Hotel is clean and staff are always attentive and friendly! A room with a balcony is beautiful, especially in warm weather. Hotels pool is clean and open until late which is great! See you soon 😊

The reception team were very friendly and helpful. The bedroom was nice and the bed was comfortable. There was no water in the bedroom or biscuits on the tea and coffee selection tray. I stayed for two nights and nothing was replenished on the tea tray. I’m sure if I had asked I could’ve had extra things. The size of the bedroom and bathroom was huge and the bath was lovely.

It is a beautiful hotel and it was .y second time that i booked this property as i liked it very much last time. This time, my checkin was with difficulties as they didn't give me the room that i had originally booked. They eventually gave us an extra bed and expedia agent tried to help. Overall it went well

Op zich een prima hotel. We hadden misschien wat pech met de kamer. Tapijt wat oprolde waardoor je er in de nacht over valt, in bed lig je in een kuil, afvoer verstopt l, douches die lekken en thermostaatkraan die niet echt werkt en tv uit het jaar 0. Verder waren we prima tevreden. Personeel heel vriendelijk. Ontbijt meer dan redelijk. Zwembad heeft onze zoon enorm van genoten en was netjes en schoon.

Wij vonden het een hartstikke leuke lokatie en met het zicht op de oude maas, gezeten op het balkon zijn wij helemaal tot rust gekomen. Het enige wat ons tegenviel was de airco. De 18graden die hij aangaf is het nooit geweest naar ons gevoel. Het was ons te warm. Dat heeft ons verblijf in de ruime kamer echter niet ontsiert. Heerlijk toeven daar!
