    I enjoyed staying in this chicsmall hotel. The rooms were bright with lovely interior, the large windows creating a feeling of light and the breakfast was delicious. The food was fine and there were variety of dishes in the menu. The location was marvellous and beautiful, really close to a red-hued Dutch city hall. This property was exceptionally comfortable and I would like to come again.

    Well, the area was bustling overall.

    The comfy beds and cozy comforters ensured a good night's sleep. The simple pool was perfect for relaxing, and the nice common area with tables and seats allowed us to spend quality family time together. The hotel's location was ideal, within walking distance to the major attractions, bank, and Stadthuys building. The garden view from our room was amazing, and everything was clean and well-maintained. The staff gave great advice for dining at Capital Satay, which was an unforgettable experience. we enjoyed a nice stay at a great price.

    Felt quite safe, no complaints.

    The hotel offers bright, luxury rooms with a view overlooking the palace and huge bed and good natural lighting. The location is marvellous and beautiful, 5 minutes' walk to a 16th century Portuguese fort. Also, it's short walk from downtown.

    Excellent service, extraordinary room with huge windows, good air con plus the 3rd flr double bed. Lovely design. Lovely, informative staff towards all guests. Brilliant and AWESOME location, a few steps away from a red-hued Dutch city hall. 10 minutes' ride to the airport.

    Internet connection was terrible.

    Had an amazing Easter weekend stay at this unique hotel. The friendly reception staff made my check-in effortless. The lime-infused water and yummy biscuits added a nice touch to the lobby area. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the famous historical landmark and bustling night street. The outdoor pool was definitely the best aspect of this hotel, with stunning views of the city and a great spot to enjoy the gorgeous sunset.

    Although the location was convenient, wandering around the quiet alleys at night made me feel a little uneasy. The soundproofing of the rooms was not the best, and the toilet door design could be improved to avoid hitting the toilet bowl.

    This hotel is amazing value for money, especially considering its central location in the heart of a historic city. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities, including a comfortable bed and efficient air conditioning. The simple breakfast provided is a nice start to the day, especially when enjoying the lovely garden view.

    Despite a few minor flaws, overall, this hotel provides an enjoyable experience.
