Die Swaene Review

This small hotel on the beautiful Groenerei canal in the center city has rightly been called one of the most romantic in Europe, thanks in great part to the care lavished on it by the Hessels family. The comfortable rooms are elegantly and individually furnished, and the lounge, from 1779, was formerly the Guildhall of the Tailors. You might be expected to lodge in an annex, across the canal, where the rooms are luxurious enough but not so convenient -- you have to recross the canal to take advantage of the main building's amenities, for instance. The in-house restaurant Pergola Kaffee has won favorable reviews from guests and critics for both its seafood and regional cuisine.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; lounge; heated indoor pool; exercise room; sauna; concierge; secretarial services; room service; babysitting; laundry service

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.
