Reviews and Ratings
Nestled on a path in a public garden with glorious views over all the waterways of Dordrecht, this hotel provides a tranquil escape. The rooms offer unexpected air-conditioning and direct access to the camera. The service is top-notch with excellent dry cleaning, housekeeping, and a delightful welcome drink. The location is a mix of history and nature with an antique shop nearby and beautiful gardens on the riverbank. However, the dining options are limited to just grilled steaks. The facilities provide a relaxing stay with modern amenities, albeit with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel offers stunning views over all the waterways of Dordrecht from air-conditioned rooms with terraces and full bathrooms. However, the price could be a bit high for some travelers. The service is fantastic with convenient amenities and a welcome drink, but the air conditioning could be more effective in some rooms.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its unexpected air-conditioned rooms and lovely terraces. The full bathrooms were a nice touch, but I discovered that not all the produce in the restaurant was from the garden. The service was excellent, offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and a welcoming drink. The location in the old water tower was unique, but it was a downside that most of the restaurant's menu items were not garden-fresh. The overall experience was comfortable but with room for improvement in the dining selection.
