    Lovely hotel in a great location.
    • Leisure trip

    • Superior King Room
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The breakfast didn't really suit me. As a solo traveler I did like the atmosphere but it took a little too long to be served, probably due to being freshly prepared. The menu choice was difficult for me, being too fancy , but this is a personal preference. Most people seemed to be enjoying breakfast. I do not like the bathroom shampoos, shower gel, body lotion etc in small plastic tubes. It is incredibly wasteful and bad for the environment. Much better to have dispensers.

    The location is lovely. Really enjoyed the short ferry across the river to and from the city. The hotel is very nice, and staff are friendly and helpful, the room was large and carpeted. The bed was wonderful with quality bedding, including the best pillows I have come across in a hotel. Plenty of hot water, good shower. Breakfast was served and the atmosphere was relaxed.

    Desk lamp obstructs view of tv from bed in room 202. Can't use safe without laying on floor to read instructions. Suggest posting instructions at eye level. Breakfast service was disjointed, though food was excellent.

    Hotel staff. Cleanliness. Room size. Bathroom. Location next to park and ferry to town.

    The welcoming staff, the perfect service, the "tailored" breakfast, and the aesthetic detail in the interior decoration.

    The hotel is really first class. The room was located in the new wing on the 2nd floor. Our stay was very pleasant and comfortable. The complete breakfast is served on a large plate per person. The location is fabulous with a view over the River IJssel. The little ferry brings you to the other banks where you can enter the historical town of Deventer. The so called 'living' is the nicest place in the hotel.

    Very friendly, welcoming staff at the reception. The check-in couldn't have been easier and faster, in spite of the fact that by accident our booking was for one person instead of two. We were also offered a complementary aperitif at the bar which was a very nice gesture. The room was spacious, comfortable; at night it was very quiet. The breakfast was excellent.

    good hotel but connecting room entrance area light have no switch to turn off so we had to sleep with the light on. Find dinning pigeon meat had a odd smell and taste but rest of courses were good. There is no signs of wash cloth in the rooms which is odd.

    good hotel fresh and clean for a 4 stars. View amazing and relaxing

    For us, we would prefer a buffet breakfast, although everything we wanted was available upon demand. Also perhaps waiters should make it clear that the glass of champagne offered when arriving in the restaurant for the evening meal is not in fact complimentary and will cost €14 each!!

    Lovely room and bathroom. Well located for town centre. Free parking for our car. Delicious food. Friendly and helpful staff.

    The breakfast is probably good, but we chose not to eat it at the hotel because it is too expensive. It would be good if a cheaper continental breakfast was also offered.

    Everything was great. The price was fair, plus there was free parking. To get to the center, one takes a 5 min ferry ride that is right next to the hotel. The service personel were all friendly and helpful. Coffee maker is in the room.

    The WiFi was not strong at all and made it difficult to take work calls or zooms. The counter top in the bathroom came out too far over the sinks so it was hard to shave or wash your face. The TVs should be mounted on the wall. They take up too much space on the floor in the room.

    The staff were very kind and accommodating. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. Conveniently located by ferry and it was nice that they offered free ferry tickets.

    I believe the hotel require more staff. It is understandable they are short staffed during these economic and post pandemic times.

    The staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. They attempt to meet all the needs of their guests. The food is exceptional! Excellent quality, well presented and very satisfying. The outdoor terrace is lovely in the summertime and the dining room in winter Is warm and inviting.
