Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Den Briel is often praised for its spacious and clean rooms, and many guests appreciate the convenience of being within a 12-15 minute walk to the city center. Additionally, the availability of a tram stop right outside the hotel makes getting around easy, and electric car chargers in the car park are a definite plus for some. A few guests have noted that the air conditioning in some rooms wasn't working as effectively as expected. However, many find the breakfast buffet rich, particularly with a wide selection of sweets.

a decent stay

clean hotel electric charger no shampoo barely working ac

the hotel is dry clean. electric car chargers are available in the car park. i found this very useful. the tram runs directly outside, so i could easily get around.

there was no shampoo provided, considering the price. the ac was barely working. i was quite disappointed about this. the staff also did not mention the price of parking.

Mixed Feelings About This Stay

working ac shampoo quality

The AC was barely working. A real bummer. Staff didn't tell me the price of parking or the city tax upfront. I love surprises. The room wasn't terrible, but seriously needed a shampoo upgrade, especially considering the price.

car chargers short walk equipped gym

I found easy parking in the multi-storey car park opposite the hotel. Reception validated the ticket for my stay. electric car chargers are easy to use in the car park. it was a short walk into town. trams run directly outside if you don't want to walk. the gym had good equipment. the hotel is practical and minimalist. the location was closer to the city center than i expected, REALLY charming.

breakfast was pretty basic.
