New City Hotel Scheveningen

Everybody should avoid this hotel like the plague. I didn't want to award even just one star. I booked a single room for a week, and paid upfront on arrival so could not move elsewhere. The first room (in an annex) reeked appallingly of smoke, even though it was supposed to be a non-smoking hotel. I demanded an alternative, but was told that was not possible until the following day. But I was occupied in The Hague all day and reception was closed by the time I returned. Also the TV zapper was totally useless because it was broken. On the third day I was given another room, which did NOT smell of smoke (hooray!) but which was very stuffy because the window could not be opened. When I complained about that, the receptionist said simply he thought the previous tenant had broken the key. No suggestion they would fix it. Again the TV zapper did not work, this time because of batteries. (But when I finally got the TV working there was not a single news channel in English.) Both rooms had a kettle and two small sachets of instant coffee (no tea), but this was not replaced every day. When I complained, reception said they only gave them for the first day but they would ask the cleaner to deliver some. Nothing arrived, so I had to walk to reception (not always staffed) each day (no to the reception each morning to get two more instant coffee sachets. .... Wiring in the second room was defective. There was no side-table or side lamp. Carpets were generally very stained. Avoid!

Für mich waren die gut mit ÖPNV erreichbare Lage und die Nähe zum Strand ausschlaggebend. Zimmer + Gemeinschaftsbad waren sauber.

De kamer zag er netjes uit, heerlijk geslapen. Dicht bij de promenade.

Horrible ! D'une chambre a 84€ avec un escabeau entre les 2lits du lit double. Une douche au dessus du WC... Chambre de bonne sans aucune commodités. J'ai demandé à la réception d'annuler mon séjour, il m'a répondu so late ! Un ibis a 2min a pied pour moi cher !!! Une honte
