Lovely hotel, clean, up market, reception staff very helpful, great pool facility. Breakfast far too expensive - so we went without which did spoil our visit and and they lost the business!

Rooms well kept, breakfast excellent. Only the location, well out of the way of anything and quiet, which suited myself, as I was there on business and needed to relax on a night. If you dont have a car its not the place for you.

Great location with riverside view from spacious comfortable room. Goos for sports, fishing, walking and hotel facilities are excellent. Good breakfast buffet, restaurant and bar. Professional, friendly staff make you feel at home. Free parking, reasonable price, good value for money. Nothing I did not like, but for those who look for shops and (other) restaurants near by: you will need a car ...

Lovely spacious hotel, fabulous spacious rooms, excellent food varied menu (even had a special game section), friendly attentive staff, pleasant bar, spa/pool was very clean and comfortable, price was extremey faviourable..All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience, I was able to use the pool area as I didn't have to leave until 5pm even though i'd checked out...Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, even though there was a function that meant the restaurant was completely full, it didn't effect the service in any way.

The hotel was fine but not so great comparative to the new Valk hotels. I think that we pay more that the initial price of reservation.

Good hotel in a very pleasant location by the river. Food in the restaurant was good, but I would have liked a bit wider selection of hot food for breakfast. Standard fare was chicken sausages, tomato with cheese, mushrooms, baked beans and a hard-boiled egg. Reception staff were very helpful.

We liked a number of things about the ara. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was large and comfortable with a lovely view of the river and the barges. When we decided to stay for a third night, they kindly arranged for us to keep the same room and gave us the same rate which was very reasonable. We rented very good quality bikes from the hotel and the location was perfect for cycling in the countryside.

First I did not get the room I reserved but the problem was professionally resolved by Mr F. Wonda and I will for sure stay again at this hotel, Great breakfast but a bit expensive...make sure to ask for rooms on the 2nd floor river vieuw!!! This hotel is worth a stay.

Nice area, not close to city centre but within drivable distance. Very nice design, good breakfast, adequate dinner. Polite staff, free parking, big rooms, nice bathroom. Should provide better wifi services, without cost, and a descent table with power socket for business travellers.

This hotel is very professionally run. It has lovely views across the River Maas, easy access to cycle and walking routes yet is only minutes away from Rotterdam and Dortrecht. The pool and sauna are also very good. It is a pity it is such an architectural eyesore from the outside.

The hotel is situated in a lovely quiet area alongside the river Maas. Miles of cycle and foot paths right outside the door (you can hire bikes at the hotel), but it is not far from the motorways. Dordrecht is near, lovely old town, you can take the ferry across from Zwijndrecht. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very nice, especially with river view, worth the extra money. The restaurant is good, excellent buffet breakfast and you can eat outside on the terras when the weather is good. We have stayed in the hotel 3x now and we will be back.
