Victor was very friendly and helped me navigate around. The hotel room was clean and modern with a comfy bed. Breakfast had many options and got me ready for the day.

The air conditioning system made a constant beeping noise at night, it disturbed my sleep.

acceptable stay with Disappointing Aspects

bathroom smell flushing toilet

The location was near the tram stop. This was acceptable.

The accessible room was located far from the elevator. This would be dangerous in an emergency. The bathroom smelled bad and the toilet kept flushing.

Such touches are appreciable. the staff displayed friendly, helpful attitudes and i found the location easily accessible to public transport and a nearby shop.

floor crumbs faulty hairdryer

the breakfast options were adequate, i guess. it was there, at least.

the room was supposedly cleaned daily, but i found crumbs on the floor. also, the hairdryer barely worked. it just sputtered warm air, so i looked like a drowned rat most of the time. it was not exactly the look i was going for.

Excellent location and friendly service

easy access convenient location flawless check-in friendly staff

The location is convenient with the tram stop just around the corner. This provides easy access to the central area. The staff were really friendly, Sergio in particular. The check-in and check-out processes were flawless. I found the Vrije University campus easily accessible via tram.

I found no proper facilities for decent food such as a restaurant.
