    Shower curtain needs to keep the water in (and not let water splash outside).

    Excellent location as it is a four minute walk from Delft station. Situated right on the canal so some rooms have a lovely view. The reception and restaurant (1st level) are done up really well. Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Student housing is very close by. When the hotel leaves ear plugs on the night stand- that means something. Our first night was definitely an ear plug night because of a big college party right across the street.The other 2 nights were fine.

    Great location and easy to get around the town.

    Proximity to the Train Station. The facade of the building, the entryway and the lounge were very quaint but my room was modernly renovated. The white colors added some light and warmth. My bed was so comfortable!! Everyday, I look forward to the breakfast. They are delicately presented and so yummy 😋

    4pm check - it’s later than a lot of hotels we have stayed in & the room was not available any earlier. Considering check out is 11am it’s a shame. The pillows are like a brick! I did ask if I could change it. Reception asked housekeeping and it was a flat no. I found a cushion to use instead.

    We had a very pleasant 3 night’s stay -Sat/Sun/Mon. Room was a good size. We liked having the seating area beside the windows looking out at the canal. Plenty of storage and a small handy fridge. The bathroom has been modernised and the shower is great! Reception Staff are friendly. We had breakfast in the hotel on the first morning- plenty of choice and helpful staff. Location is excellent- not too far from the station and a pleasant stroll from the centre.

    No elevator. Narrow, steep stairs up was tough with the suitcase. Wake up call by ducks/swans at the canal way before expected time. But even these downsides make you feel you're in Delft and give you unforgettable experiences.

    Very close from the central station. Also walking distance to the old town. Old building but comfortable.

    The street across the hotel was used as a racing circuit by multiple cars and motorbikes. There were still leftovers of previous customers in our room. The cleaning wasn't done properly. There were no power outlets next to the bed so we had to charge our phones at the desk, which was inconvenient.

    Staff was helpful with resolving our issue of an unclean room. The instructions were clear as to how to access the hotel after 10pm. We got clean towels every morning, which is nice but not environmental friendly.

    Charming and affordable hotel very close to Delft railway station
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Small Double Room with Canal View

    Because it's in an old building that was converted as a hotel, the corridors are narrow and the rooms are quite small and there is also no elevator. Some reviewers complain about the neighbourhood being noisy, with a lot of students around, and also about creaky floors. When I went to bed, I used the earplugs provided by the hotel (obviously, the management is aware that it can be a bit noisy) and I slept fine. It was all OK, certainly for a short stay, but if you want a more luxurious experience or need a desk to work, you might want to go elsewhere.

    The staff were very friendly and the hotel has a great location, a stone's throw from the Delft railway station. It's in an old building, but it has a homely charm. The room and bed was comfortable and, although there was a little wear and rear in the room, it seemed to have been properly cleaned. I paid roughly 100 Euros for a night, including breakfast, which was good value for money in my book. I'll happily stay there again if I have to spend a night in Delft in the future.

    The windows are old, so it is possible to hear some noise from the road. The bathroom was a bit small, mainly around the toilet area. Plump people might find it uncomfortable.

    The location of the hotel was really good. It is right next to the train/bus station. The staff was very helpful. I found an error in the receipt after the payment (they had charged me with the daily tourist tax for two people, even though the reservation was only for one person), however the staff at the reception was eager to help and the problem was solved straight away; they refunded the extra amount in my bank account some days after. The breakfast was nice (options for vegan available). In the room, you can find an iron, a coffee machine and ear plugs.

    Bathroom was very small and felt congested for 2 people using it. Every morning around 7.30 a really strong smell of frying bacon etc wafted into the room and the way from downstairs. The air downstairs in the breakfast room was pretty much filled with frying breakfast food . It was very disagreeable at times. The room had poor noise isolation from adjacent rooms where conversations from other guests could be clearly heard anytime.

    Room was comfortable and well situated with canal view Breakfast was excellent Location was excellent - 2mn from the station and from city centre

    Bathroom was so tiny you couldn’t bend over. Tried to get me to accept a conversion from Euro to USD at time of pyt, with a 3.5% fee. Kept saying that’s the only way. I kept refusing, saying I wanted it run in Euros to let my CC do the conversion. It finally “timed out” thank god and let me pick, but the young woman kept telling me she had no idea how to run it any other way. Don’t give in!

    Very close to train station.

    The hotel is in the inner city of Delft and it has single glass windows ( mandatory in the old town, it is not up to the hotel to change this). The room ( 2.floor) was pretty quiet but the cleaning ladies start to clean early in the morning and our sleep was pretty disrupted by this. Also, the breakfast times are difficult for people that like to sleep a bit longer, therefore we haven't tried the breakfast. The pillows could be less high, I got a bit neck pain.

    The employees are very friendly and the room was very pretty. They also noticed our request for a more silent room. The area is very good and safe. It is a very short walk to good restaurants and the trainstation.

    Many Plusses, a Few Minuses
    • Leisure trip

    The carpet in the room, unfortunately, created a very shabby impression, as did the wallpaper and the curtains. There is a portable air conditioner, which we did need when we first arrived. The vent tube was torn, adding to the shabby impression. As the week wore on, the plusses of Delft, the location, the quality of our sleep (we slept like babies), and the breakfast overrode the cosmetic impression of the room. Other reviewers complained about noise at night. However every hotel along that pathway would be subjected to that same noise. We were too tired to be disturbed by outside sounds, and it was most noticeable on Friday and Saturday nights. There was no noise on weekdays. The bathroom door should be reconfigured, if possible. Neither of us would be considered heavy, but the door to the bathroom is so closely placed to the bathroom sink and the toilet we had to squeeze between the door and the sink in order to get in and out. If the door was repositioned to swing out rather than in, that problem would be eliminated.

    One of the best features of the hotel is that it is just a short (three minute) walk from the Delft train station. This was terrific, as we used Hotel Grand Canal as our home base for traveling to Amsterdam and Ammersfort, and after long days of sightseeing outside of Delft we were happy to get to our hotel almost as soon as we arrived "home". It is also a short walk from the center of Delft and the historic and market areas. We had a fair amount of rain when we stayed, so having a short walk in the rain was also terrific. The breakfast was good-a selection of eggs, sausage, yogurts, muesli, fresh (delicious) fruit, salmon, croissant...all very good. A great start to the day. The room had a small Kourig style coffee maker, plus a hot water pot for tea. The mattress was comfortable, the bed always nicely made when we came back, always fresh towels. The water was consistently hot for both of our showers. None of the hotels in Europe have window screens, so mosquitos and little gnats made their way into every place that we stayed, so we kept the windows closed. That said, we had to run the a/c, a portable unit, which was not silent, but didn't interfere with our sleep. The front desk staff was pleasant, and the housekeeping staff thorough. The breakfast buffet staff kept the buffet clean and stocked.
