The price of the hotel. It also had great connection to the City Center. The staff was very kind and helpfull.

Stefan, Germany

The property is amazing! Incredible building, the entrance is inside the park, just a few meters away from the the tram. The rooms are even better than the pictures, large, tall and comfortable.

Samuel, Brazil

Amazing hotel in a park! It is beautiful and the decor is very trendy. The staff were all very nice and helpful. Breakfast was great! There was a very good selection of fruits, yogurts, breads, cheeses, cured meats/fish and hot foods.

Emi, Japan

The stairway and the 3rd floor - room 303 - should get a refresh: looks a bit too shabby for the hotel's class

Jp, Belgium

The hotel was a former orphanage, mental institution now a beautiful renovated hotel.the location is great because it sits overlooking Oostwrpark, close to a tram stop. Neighborhood has nice restaurants, pubs, some shopping.

Rachel, United States of America

Great location and beautiful architecture with the most gracious staff. A one of a kind building beautifully restored to it Orginal glory with modern flair for your comfort. Everything was perfect and the hotel restaurant and patio are worth checking out with attentive service and first class cuisine. It is also very convenient to many of the inner ring attractions. And trams are right by the hotel.

Nothing about the hotel! I just wish it was slightly closer to the centre (still only 7-10 mins in an Uber)
Hotel staff were outstanding, nothing was too much for anybody that worked there. The room views are beautiful and very quirky! Food and drinks also delicious! I would highly recommend- I will be back!

They looked like they needed a good clean . Dust under beds, walls marked chipped plaster near air conditioning. The shower head was also massively broken, flooding the bathroom each time on use, this was raised and someone promised to send someone to fix. This never happened so we just had to deal with it!
The location, the park is beautiful ! Also nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of the main town.

It was way too warm in the room (above). We slept in a very small room with a sort of attic where we slept. We had no place to put hour suitcases so our "first floor" was not really usable as it was super small and our suitcases had to be there. Because it was so warm we did not really sleep for more than an hour in a row. And everytime we had to go out of bed to drink water as it was super warm, you had to wake up each other because there was only a sort of big light. Not comfy at all.. Also, when we were ordering something in the lobby it was not possible to put it on our room. The service in the restaurant was poor and not professional.
I liked the location.

I wouldn't say I didn't like these points but, the suite we were in lacked character and was slightly clinical because there was no artwork, there was only a selection of two teas and there were no vegetarian options on the room service menu.
Beautiful hotel in a great location. We stayed in a suite which was luxurious but not over the top. The staff were friendly and professional and our room service order came quickly and was delicious.

We were a little disappointed with the room, the floor was very dusty, only 2 pillows on the bed, no headboard, made sitting in bed not so enjoyable. And quite small in depth. The mini bar was empty, should atleast offer the guests water!!
The public areas of the hotel were really fantastic. Beautiful design. Very friendly staff. Park restaurant food and service was excellent. Beautiful design.
