Beautiful setting and excellent staff made this trip one to remember. I look forward to coming back with my family. The breakfast was delicious - though I passed on the cocktails…. I’d definitely recommend.
The least to say is that this hotel has known better days ... very long ago! The rooms are gloomy lit, furniture and curtains outaged, floorcarpet with numerous dirty spots, bathroom is extremely basic and the worst is the heating: I arrived in the room at 6 p.m. and the heating was off, temperature was probably around 15 or 16° - only after a couple of hours it was better, but though put on maximum, I hardly could get more than 18° during the night. Breakfast, for 23€, was spartan; scrambled eggs and bacon were cold.
Wow -- since the amazing renovations the place is spectacular. I've been to this hotel countless times and it seems to improve each year. So many of the staff have been with them for many years, and they couldn't be better, right down to the lovely Julie in housekeeping. This hotel offers so many amenities, it's so visually beautiful, the service is exceptional and I can't wait to return very soon! The location can't be beat, with gorgeous views of the park and walking distance to all the major attractions.
I had a very negative experience with the front desk staff that checked me in this past week. My husband and I booked a stay at this hotel back in April for 4 nights. They sent me an email stating that they weren't able to charge my credit card on the reservation, which made sense because we had forgotten we had just received a new card to replace the expired one. They asked that I look at my account, so they can charge a new card. If I failed to do that in 24 hours, then my booking would be cancelled. Approx 13 hours of receiving that email, I went in and updated the credit card information on the account and sent them an email confirming I did so. When I arrived at this hotel to check in a month later (which was this past week), the front desk staff told me that the reservation was cancelled. I showed them the email that they sent me and the one I had sent to them. I also showed them my original reservation number. They looked into it for a while, but they told me that ultimately the reservation was cancelled so they can't do anything. They were also all booked up on one of the four nights we were supposed to stay there, so they could only check us in for 2 nights (Thurs-Fri). Up to this point, I was confused but I wasn't upset. I understand things can happen, and I was eager to work this out. However, what really pushed me over the edge was the fact that the front desk staff showed no empathy for the situation I was in. I told them that I never received any email that my reservation was cancelled. I even asked if there were any other alternative hotels, as we were traveling from outside the country and did not know the area well. The staff person I was talking to responded with very little attempt at professionalism, and instead told me that we should solve this ”later” as I was holding up the line. I believe her words were along the lines of, ”you should turn around, look at the line.” When I asked her when ”later” would be, she let out a small laugh which was a very confusing response to what I thought was a valid question. This is when I was starting to feel incredulous. I wanted her assistance, but I got rudeness and condescension in return. I tried my best not to raise my voice even though I was getting frustrated, and I told her that I felt I was getting penalized for something that wasn't my fault. Still, there was no attempt to help me with the situation, and I felt like I was being waved away. At the very end of our interaction, the staff person told me that if there is a room that opens up on Sat they would contact me to let me know. I asked how they would contact me on updates (would it be through the hotel phone? My international number? Call, email, or text?) and I received a very frustrated look and a sigh in return, not a helpful response. I am still unsure why she acted this way, when I genuinely wanted to understand how I would be contacted. (And they never actually contacted me... even to tell me they were still all boo
ゲゲストIk kwam daar aan en mij reservatie klopte niet hoe ik online had geboekt
Dus ik had laten zien dat ik toch zo had gereserveerd
Maar die mevrouw aan de receptie had gezegd ja als je het wil hoe jij online hebt geboekt moet je bij betalen
Waar ik op antwoorden dat ik dat niet ga doen want op mij reservatie staat het goed
Waar zij toen in haar gat was gebeten en zij tegen een collega die naast haar stond
Ja dan zal ik maar een andere kamer geven aan haar
Wat ik eigenlijk wel heel onbeleefd vond hoe ze reageerde
Ik kreeg een andere kamer
Hele mooie kamer schoon behalve de vuilbak zat nog vol in de badkamer en wc was nog vies van de vorige voor ons
voor de rest was het een mooie kamer
Top locatie
Bij het uit checken kwam ik gelukkig die mevrouw van het inchecken niet tegen
Bij wie ik uit checkte was super super lief en er was ook een man die was ook super vriendelijk voor hun geef ik zeker een 10
En ik zou zeker nog een terug komen
Dankzij de personeel tijdens het uit checken
ゲゲストFriendly counter and allowed to go to my twin room 4 hours early. Very clean hotel with towels and water supplied. No kettle but I think this must Bea Belgian thing. The station is opposite but it is 20 min walk to the old town. Fine for me but some may want to be nearer. The walk there is the main shopping street. Overall I think it was great value. As a note to other guests, and I always write this, please be more considerate when talking in the corridors especially before 8am. Whisper, your voice echoes and sound meds like you’re shouting. And don’t allow to doors to slam shut!!
