Viatges a De Kwakel

Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Die Lage unweit des Zentralbahnhofes sowie das freundliche Personal machen einiges Weg aber leider nicht alles. Die Klimaanlage im Zimmer müsste dringend mal von Innen gereinigt werden. Das gleiche gilt für die Gardinen sowie die Wand unter der Klimaanlage. Ebenfalls fehlt in Details die Reinigung von Kleinigkeiten wie der Ablage über Bett. Es wurde aber nach der Zufriedenheit gefragt und auch Wünsche nach mehr Handtüchern oder einem zusätzlichen Kissen umgehend erfüllt.

Staff was superb all around. AC, elevator, clean room and bathroom. Location was prime but tucked (closely) away from the hustle and bustle. Easy walking distance to Museumplein and DePijp. The tram stop was also literally out the door on the street corner. It’s not the Ritz but it exceeded our needs for a very pleasant stay. Just be mindful that a sweet cat lives on site which is not specified in the hotel listing. :)

Let’s start with the positive things. The bed was so good. The location is great. There’s a tram stop only two blocks away that takes into Central Station within 12 minutes. The breakfast is pretty basic but it does its job. My complaints have to do with the heat inside the room. There’s no air conditioning, at least not during August. The first night I was sweating but their answer was to bring my own fan or leave open the door to the balcony where other guests pass by. They say no air conditioning available. Also I was surprised that there was a mini fridge in the room. There are some nice supermarkets nearby so I like to buy juice to drink during the day. Unfortunately the fridge didn’t work. It never got things cold. I had to eat all the goodies right away I bought so that they were not going to spoil. Even the last juice was warm when I drank it. I complained about the mini fridge and their answer was that they were going to send someone which never happened unfortunately. Still is a good option but I didn’t have time to continue complaining about the bad stuff.
