In our initial room the TV didn’t work. The friendly staff upgraded us however to another room. Great service in the end! Some small things that could be improved in room A22; soap dispenser not well mounted, faucet is leaking, tv is not mounted level and one of the coffee machines is not functioning

Unique location and nicely renovated building and rooms.

Hotel is good, but the most important is the stuff. Jordi was at the reception when we came. He is just so polite, so nice, so patient. He has walked numerous times for us, to any questions he was happy to answer. He was also so friendly when we told we were from Armenia, the first Christian country. Just a superb service! Jordi good luck with your job!

My room had no toilet

Totally unique. As it was an old jail now very tastefully decorated and renovated

Stayed in February 2024

A few things could be better: the room lacks available power sockets that can be used for charging devices, etc. Can be easily resolved. Also the curtains in my room need attention. Then the light level in the room is very low - maybe screw in a brighter bulb here and there. Finally the building is a little noisy but that was no surprise.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, great location

We stayed in room B25 which had its windows wide open when we arrived and smelled like poop/sewerage. we should have mentioned this upon check in and should have asked for a different room…when we came back later in the evening the smell still lingered, even after running the shower/faucets and flushing the toilet a few times. The mattresses were also not very comfortable. We have stayed at this hotel last year, in a ‘cipiers’ room, which was great. This time around we were a bit disappointed.

The hotel’s design is really cool!

The warmth in the room cause their wasnt a working airco. The rooms are quite noisy, especially when you wake up in the early morning of moaning cows😅

Atmosphere

Room was very dark, we didn’t have cold water in the tap,no proper light in bathroom as well,was impossible to see anything there. Room is very hot, couldn’t open windows properly,but at least we had fan in the room.

Guy on reception was very friendly Good prices

Stayed in June 2023

only average breakfast, small rooms, rather expensive

excellent location, rooms modern but small and not as sophisticated as last time, calm and central, wifi o.k., public parking close by

Interesting hotel to stay and it was close to the train station which was great! I only stayed for a few hours, the bed was comfortable and I had a steady breakfast.

Stayed in May 2023

There was only a bath in the room, no shower however this added to the aesthetic of the room and improved the overall appearance.

Loved the size of the rooms, and the beds were very comfortable.

Stayed in June 2023

Half of the parking does apparently belong to the neighbour, with no possibility for the guests parking…I had to remove my car, but the young man at the reception has very helpful to walk me (under the rain !) to the outside parking - which is indeed not far… The breakfast is ok, but very boring: I would however have liked non industrial bread…and maybe some local speciality?

I liked the interesting building and the very tasteful and cool interior decoration.

Having a toilet in the same room without having doors to separate it. There was not much choice at breakfast (especially vegetables and hot meals), and the buffet was only on certain days. On some days, you were asked to choose sandwiches from the list, which then happened to be not available or not prepared on time.

Hotel design as it used to be a prison. It's located in the centre of Almelo, so the location was great.

Stayed in March 2023

The facilities needed a touch-up. Chipped paint etc. Didn't match-up to the price.

Especially the bed was excellent. Staff friendly. Breakfast was fine.

Stayed in February 2023

Comfortable room "sweet" and very good breakfast. I really appreciated the shower and toilet inside room. There was even a bath and a sauna. Really very super comfortable and romantic room.

Stayed in December 2022

there was no door on the ‘bathroom’, this is strange. The room was cold, windows opened, no door on the bathroom.

The style is one of a kind, receptionists were nice.

Stayed in January 2023

Almost every piece of cutlery and most of the glasses in the breakfast room were unclean. For a 15 euro breakfast I do not expect having to clean it myself. Breakfast is somewhat over priced in my opinion.

The room was spacious and wel decorated.

Dim lightnibg and no toilette When booking the room, we did not imagine a room without a toilette.

The room concept and design.

location

Stayed in November 2022

Lighting in the rooms is poor (no light in shower, one big light over the bed, not all lights can be operated from bedside), no bar or restaurant facility in the evening. You can venture outside for that. It is in the city centre.

It is a special building, with a unique atmosphere. Breakfast buffet is great.

Stayed in October 2022

luck of proper lighting in the bathroom and the room. it’s impossible to read sth or see yourself in the mirror, to fix your hair etc. in the sink there was only hot water running and we couldn’t brush our teeth because it was hot. luck of hangers for towels or coats. The beds although new, not comfortable.

location, interior design, staff, heating, hot water

Parking was included when we first stayed, now it is €10 per night. A shower curtain instead of a proper toilet door.

The location. The nice furnishings. The breakfast and coffee rooms. We had a roof terrace to ourselves (2nd floor).
