    I enjoyed my stay, but it would have been even better if the fish were kept in decent conditions!

    In the general entrance of the hotel was a small tank with two fish (sluierstaarten in Dutch). The tank was dirty (green glass) and the water level was very low which made me think they were perhaps lacking oxygen. Apart from pebbles and a stone there was nothing for the fish to do and nowhere to hide. The hotel was using live animals as an accessory without paying attention to their needs. I expressed my concerns about the low water levels and the lack of oxygen. I also said I thought the lights in the entrance hall were on 24/7 so the animals could not get a natural day and night rhythm. When I talked to the manager on the last day of my stay, he reassured me that the lights do go off at night, but that they go on with a sensor when people enter. He also said he would buy the fish a bigger tank and add some plants for oxygen and some shelter.

    The room was everything it had promised to be: simple, but very comfortable and relatively cheap. Nice bed! Very close to the beach! The receptionist was friendly and helpful and quickly supplied the water cooker that was missing from my room. He was also helpful when I expressed my concerns about the living conditions of the fish that were kept in the general entrance hall of the hotel (I was in room nr. 2). He cleaned their tank a bit and added some water so they could breath a bit better. He also expressed my concerns for the welfare of the fish to his manager. The manager later told me he would make an effort to improve the living conditions and the welfare of the fish! I'll gladly come back to see the result!

    It was fairly easy to hear what was going on around the hotel, the mattresses were a bit uneven and the location of the bed near the window meant that the curtains did not keep out the light in the morning.

    This is a decent, basic hotel: it is a bit below par for the money you pay, but it is not bad. The room has all the things you need for a short stay and nothing more. The shower was comfortable. The location is great and checkin and checkout were easy.

    I had a very small room 8m² at the street and when the sun shines in you need to ask the very friendly staff for a fan, because the temperature is getting really hot in there from 10am to 6pm (10-18h). I had no own toilet. The floor of the shared toilets smell a bit and the floor of the showers are a bit dirty. They need intensive cleaning. The fact that the shared bathrooms are dirty is more so the fault of the hotel guests than of the hotel cleaning ladies.

    Very friendly staff. Very close to the beach. Supermarket, cash mashine and any shop you need close. Great TV channels, to be precise better TV channels than most 3 and 4 star hotels in the Netherlands. The rooms are extremely clean. It's a great place if you just need a room to sleep and are outside all day or maybe a few hours there to watch TV and eat. If you want a own toilet and bathroom you need to pay a bit more... and then it's the best price here in Scheveringen, The Hague.

    The room was not well insulated against noise-both from other rooms and from the outside, but nothing a pair of earplugs could not solve.

    Well managed , good location and the bed linen/towels were almost brand new. Small touches like coffee in the room and a good reading light was a plus.

    Only sugary mueslis at breakfast. General style of corridors, rooms etc a bit over the top for my taste, I prefer it a bit more modest

    Located in a pleasant area and close to public transport and the train. Nice building. Quiet

    The window even though closed still sounded like it was open and I could feel the cold from outside coming into the room the whole time but when asleep I didn’t feel the breeze.

    The location was great nearby a tram stop and the theatre! Not a far walk from the beach either.

    It's a long list. This location benefits from a shortage of affordable accommodation in Den Haag and surrounds, which explains why so many customers accept its shortcomings. - The price for a room without bathroom is way too high. - The room was very small (probably 10m2) and the owners' costs were obviously saved at every turn. - The steep stairs had no guardrails and the danger of falling a story seemed great. - There were no drawers to store clothes, only a narrow wardrobe with three coat hangers; the floor was oddly uneven, not in a charming way. - The desk was so small that it could hardly accommodate a laptop. - The TV remote was taped together and didn't work well, and there was no channel listing for orientation. - There was no in-room list of instructions about my stay, including Wifi and checkout times.

    My room and the other facilities were clean. Bedsheets and towels were clean. No nasty smells. Conversations with the owners/staff were pleasant. When the noisy neighbors were not active in the hallway, the room was quiet.

    I would have given this accommodation 5 stars if it had air conditioning.

    Although small and dated, it was clean, quiet and conveniently located near Scheveningen and within 20 minutes from downtown Den Haag.

    Many small maintenance is recommended to make the room and the bathroom more comfortable. No comfort to be expected for the shared shower.

    Location is excellent to be next to the main beach and main beach clubs. There is a tram coming from The Hague just 2 min walking from the hotel.
