I’ve previously stayed at Hotel V Nesplein, which was a terrific experience. So when I saw that I could find the same chain quite reasonable (booked quite late), I jumped on it immediately.
From the moment we checked in until we checked out, we felt disappointed.
Check in was late, and it felt like cleaning was rushed.
The main lamp (over the bed) flickers, and was an annoyance all 3 nights (need to have it on in the night). We mentioned this the first day, hoping that it would be resolved, which it wasn’t. One of the two lamps over the headboard was also broken, but this one they fixed.
We bought breakfast 1 day, and we are really happy we didn’t order it for each day. They also charged us too much for this, but got refunded the amount after pointing it out.
The breakfast is basically a couple of dry bread rolls, some different slices of ham/salami, two different cheeses and dispenser yam/peanut butter/chocolate spreads. There was a casserole with scrambled eggs, but this tasted horrible. My daughter loves scrambled eggs, but after one taste she pushed the plate away.
The room looks ready to renovated, and they really need to prioritize cleaning a little better.
Positives:
-location, walkable to most places, nice area
-tram stop just outside, metro is 5-8 minute walk
-Albert Hein just outside metro
-23 minutes with uber to Schiphol
Negatives:
-cleanliness
-no fridge in room
-need refurbishment
-keyhole cover missing
-small towls
-breakfast(go to a cafe instead)
