(in Corona time)
We booked this hotel for a weekend in Rotterdam.
You enter a beautiful lobby where the royal family plays a leading role. Staff is friendly. After we got out of the elevator with our room pass, we ended up in a room that was very much like a (dome) prison layout
An open stairwell in the middle of the walking area and everywhere you look you see doors with numbers next to it. The walls are bare and white, but the remains of the wallpaper show that there was once something there. The hotel is about 13 years old (told reception) but seemed older. The room was fine. Bed lovely (slept well) and the bathroom is more modern than the rest of the hotel. Each room has a suite pad (very handy and fun!). The chat function with the reception works well, but you can't see what you're typing (technical thing). Packed washcloths were not standard in the room (I think is special, I am used to differently in a Valk hotel). After chatting, they happen to find two more packaged washcloths in the basement.
Breakfast was good. Due to Corona we were served at the table. We were very curious how that would go when we were told this at check-in. But a well-stocked etagere and a porcelain bowl with sandwiches is a good intermediate form. Of course you can order hot dishes
It is extra hard work for the staff! So hard they couldn't keep up despite the time slots they use. @management do something about this! The result is of course less than what you get with a buffet, but the whole is a good start to the day.
Conclusion: lobby has a chic look but gives false expectations when you walk to your room. For a good night's sleep you do have a good bed and before the start of the day you have a good breakfast.
