I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms faced out into a big garden restaurant, which was not ideal for my young children who were used to early bedtimes. The issue with the lights not switching off individually was inconvenient, and the room, designated as non-smoking, was quite smokey due to its proximity to the smoking/meeting points outside, including the parking lot.

The service had its ups and downs. While one staff member was hesitant to provide tap water despite purchasing beers, another rectified a rate discrepancy but gave an unusual explanation. The 24-hour service was lacking, and improvements are needed at the reception.

The hotel location was acceptable, being quiet and close to attractions like turtles but a bit inconvenienced by rowdy behavior at times. It was also not the most convenient for dining options outside the hotel, although it was near markets and the city center.

The dining experience was subpar with food that seemed stale and unappetizing. The saving grace was children-favorite dishes and a nice playground, but overall, the offerings were uninspiring.

Waking up to noisy kids and breakfast sounds can be a downside as our room faced the central atrium. Missing amenities like an iron, coffee pot, alarm clock, and ATM onsite could be inconvenient. However, the hotel's central location and family-friendly atmosphere with fun games areas and children's playroom can be a plus.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms but lacks natural light, with a great jungle club for children. The service was accommodating despite some queuing issues.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were basic but comfortable, featuring a large play area for kids and a nice buffet. However, the bathroom needed more maintenance. The service offered a perfect entertainment setup for kids with a good swimming pool and gym, although I was disappointed by the inability to provide a custom smoothie for my elderly mother. The location was perfect for exploring the Netherlands, especially with easy access to Keukenhof and Duinrell. On the downside, the dining area was overwhelmed by crowds during peak hours, affecting the dining and bar experience.

The hotel had a central enclosed area for rooms which I wasn't a fan of, but the rooms themselves were quiet, spacious, and across from a delivery area. The service was very friendly, fancy, and included free access to fitness center, swimming pool, and children play areas. The location was convenient near the highway, with easy access to desired places, although slightly dirty surroundings. The dining options were fantastic but could be costly if not booked together with the room.

The hotel has a unique setup with rooms just off the dining room, offering convenience for breakfast inside a big 'hangar' with the restaurant and kids' playgrounds. The service was a bit frustrating with a confusing explanation provided, but excellent entertainment for kids and practical amenities like a swimming pool, gym, and free parking stood out. The location was a mix of convenience and challenges, great for indoor activities but a bit isolated for dining options outside the hotel.
