    The hotel has great potential and the location is beautiful and the price is pretty good. But the overall experience wasn't really nice because it was very loud at night, the other guests act disrespectful, they were blowing their noses, coughing, and slamming doors all night long, and it was hard to sleep because of audibility. On the ground floor, there is a bar, where also was a party all night and it was pretty loud. The room needs to be cleaned properly, and the balcony as well, and the bedside tables are falling apart. Also, please notice, there is a shower in the room, but the toilet is shared in the hall.

    The room was nice and spacious. There were enough towels, a kettle, and a fridge. The location is really nice, the hotel placed in a beautiful city with nice commuting. The train station and a bus stop are near so you can go anywhere easily. We had a room with a view of a windmill, it was very nice.

    Very intensive smell of disinfection. Toilets wasn't in our room.

    Location was brilliant. Free parking on the street was great, but you need luck for place. Very nice lady. Good place for one night.

    It was exactly what I expected it to be. I read a few bad reviews and was aware of the downsides. For me it was a fine 1 night stay.

    Room was spacious

    It wasn’t very clean. The ventilation was dusty, the drawers haven’t been cleaned in a long time, and it was just generally dusty. The room was very noisy, you could hear the music from the cafe/bar till 2am very very well. I could also hear my neighbours very well, since the walls were very thin. There are very steep stairs, so not very wheelchair friendly. It said there is free parking, but it’s shared with the residents there, so I was only able to find a free parking spot once. The last time I had to park 6 minutes walking away and it was paid. Overall, the property is fine for what you pay for it, but it’s not amazing.

    The location is very central. You can walk into the center easily. There is a bus stop nearby if you need it. There is wifi, but I did have to ask for the password. I wasn’t given it.

    Not necessarily bad, but it is worth mentioning that the private bathroom is literally a bath only. Toilets are outside the room and shared with other guests.

    Quite simple, e.g. no shampoo, shower gel, hairdryer, but if you’re only looking for a room to sleep in it’s still good value for money.

    I had an unexpected, earlier leave. No flexibility from the owners unfortunately. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but doable.

    The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring Schiedam center. Checking in was swift.

    The room and shared kitchen smelled funny (cigarette smoke?). It's an old building, so you hear the other guests. The kitchen was not super clean. There was a cupboard per room with dishes, however I had to clean them before using.

    Staff was super friendly and kind! I was able to check in before official check-in time and got a drink on the house while waiting for the keys. Kitchen was generally equipped with dish soap and sponges as well as dishes. The room had a shower built in. There was a mini fridge and TV in the room. My room was much cleaner than the common facilities and freshly made up before I moved in.

    The room is not soundproof at all and is a bit smelly.

    We have to take 45 minutes underground to get here.

    I especially liked the view from the window. Our room was 4 on the corner, so there were many windows and a beautiful view. The beds are comfortable to rest after a trip or a long day of walking. The toilet is in the corridor, but clean. The kitchen is also shared, but we didn't use it. The room has a shower, refrigerator, kettle, coffee, tea. From the hotel it is convenient to go wherever you want. Parking is free along the street. The area is calm, you can take a walk along the canal in the evening. There is a museum in the mill nearby and you can take a boat ride along the canal, but until 17:00 in April. We were greeted very friendly and in the bar you can drink drinks and watch football. The place is atmospheric and, as they say, “for our own people.” I will definitely stay here on my next visit.

    Though that would stay in actual windmill, but the hotel is opposite of the windmill.

    Nice view from the window. Quite, little town. Interesting pub.

    Good place in it's class, underrated by people who don't understand that. My only minor is a (very clean) WC outside the room, but just 6 steps away. Hovering can be done better.

    Good location, comfortable beds, good wifi, TV, fridge, shower. Coffee/tea maker and Great typical Dutch neighborhood pub downstairs.

    It's not the hotel's fault but there were many mosquitoes in the room, so they bit me all over my face and I couldn't sleep all night. The pillows could use a change, they are quiet bubblely.... I wasn't expecting not to have a toilet in the room : (

    The staff was very friendly and the location perfect.

    Filty hotel. We booked a room with private bathroom but it had no toulet in it apart from being dirty. Bed was not made. It seemed someone took a nap in it.. stairs was cery dangerous to go up or down with nothing in hand let alone a luggage.. we went to tell the lady in the bar not reception and she was rude. She told us why dont you go to the hilton. Very rude. We left the place and had to book another place in the evening as we could not sleep there.

    Nothing. We had to change the place. Our holiday was ruined
