Frommer's Review

If you like modernity and efficiency in your everyday life, but you're not averse to mixing this with a dollop of historicity, this hotel on a quiet street between Centraal Station and the town center might be the place for you. It offers cool modern rooms in a restored 16th-century residence -- over-restored, some guests might conclude. The style takes its cue from the modish lobby area designed by local light Fabiaan Van Severen, and moves on with its signature black leather-and-wood, which some might find a bit impersonal, to other interiors. Yet the effect is softened overall by a friendly, personal ambience, and in the rooms by a hushed atmosphere and a comfortable feel to the beds and some other furnishings. The hotel has both a pleasant terrace and a tranquil courtyard garden.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
