Walcheren Scuba Diving Holidays

Beautiful hotel in a quiet, scenic part of the city. The number 9 tram takes you from the Hague central directly to a stop across from the hotel. Hop on that tram again and get to the beach in about 10 minutes. There's a nice grocery store about a 15 minute walk along the canal and through an authentic Dutch residential area. A couple of points: to get on/off public transit requires scanning your bank or credit card. Had I known this in advance, I might have brought a card for transit use only. Also, there's major construction occurring immediately out the back of the hotel. If you're sightseeing during the day, this isn't an issue. BUT, if you're hoping to relax in your room during the day, this might be an issue.

If my heaven were a hotel, this would be it. Gorgeous historic building, sumptuous linens, super helpful and friendly desk attendants and bar/restaurant staff, and a terrific location for exploring. When I arrived, it was very cold and drizzling, but I was welcomed warmly and immediately taken up to my lovely room. The room included a huge deep tub, which felt amazing after a transcontinental flight, and while I soaked, the built-in towel warmer made the super-fluffy towels extra cozy. (Water pressure and heat was excellent, btw, which isn't always the case w/ historic properties.) Basics like the bed, room temp, lighting, WIFI, and clothing storage were all thoughtfully appointed and perfectly functioning. No noise issues. I appreciated the in-room espresso set up, and room service was quick and delicious for the one meal I had through the hotel restaurant. The bar area was comfy and chic -- velvet reading chairs and little cafe tables. I wished I'd had more time to enjoy it. Location felt very safe to use as a home base, which was important to me as a solo female traveler. In the evenings, walking back to the hotel was a treat, as you could glimpse stunning interiors inside the beautiful old townhomes all along the canal. A few blocks in one direction was a charming street full of small bistros and shops; the other direction led to the 'Nine Streets' area, which is full of shopping delights and cute restaurants. I would stay here again in a second. Fabulous.

The rooms are spacious, with a great location and enviable location. The place to stay in the Hague for confort and elegance.

Although great, very very expensive. Rooms, food and drinks.

It has stairs but the staff is great about getting luggage up. 5 stars!!

Great location, may get a bit noisey from the street. Amazing staff. Rooms are smaller than advertised and it may be hard to bring big luggage upstairs.
