The service was top-notch, from the friendly receptionist who explained transportation options to the helpful staff at the reception desk. The location, right inside Ooster park, was picturesque and convenient, especially being close to the tram for easy access to the city center. The dining experience was fantastic with great food, and the facilities were impeccable.

The hotel is nestled right inside Ooster park, offering a beautiful yet possibly dark at night experience. The rooms are spacious and come with individual lockers under the bed providing a secure stay. The reception service from check-in to the restaurant was excellent. A slight downside is its distance from the city center. The dining options are not included but offer great food at a reasonable value. Overall, a nice place set in a wonderful park to explore.

The hotel is set in a lovely park in a very nice area of the city, offering a comfortable stay with a few drawbacks. The rooms are well-maintained and have high glass windows, although they do not have openable windows. The service is friendly, especially the reception desk. The park location is charming but could be dark at night. Dining options are great, with shabu-shabu available. Overall, it's a fine choice, although not very close to the central tourist attractions.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms with the high glass windows and good beds were fantastic, but I did notice it was a bit far away from the city center. The service, especially at the reception desk, was top-notch, although I wished the hotel was easier to find coming off the metro. Dining options were great with gluten-free products available, and the facilities, like the included laundry services, were a nice touch.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were fantastic with a huge window offering stunning park views, all essential facilities, and a convenient locker. The only minor drawback was the lack of openable windows. The service, from the helpful receptionists to the friendly bartender at the restaurant, was top-notch. The location right inside Ooster park was serene and beautiful, perfect for nature lovers. However, it might not be the best choice for those wanting a vibrant city stay. The dining experience was delightful, offering great food for a reasonable value. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few tiny quirks.
