Hotel karel de stoute

Great location and friendly staff. The free coffee & tea was a lovely addition!

We stayed at this hotel 7 years ago and had a lovely experience back then, which is the ONLY reason we made the mistake of rebooking. Big mistake. Whatever this place used to be, it has completely fallen apart. The room they put us in was absolutely tiny — more like a storage cupboard than a hotel room. The stairs leading up to it were ridiculously small and narrow, genuinely unsafe, and totally unsuitable for anyone carrying luggage (or anyone with legs, really). The staff were shockingly unhelpful. Every request was met with blank stares or attitude, and not a single person seemed remotely interested in delivering even the most basic level of service. The housekeeping was equally terrible — the room didn’t feel clean, didn’t smell fresh, and honestly felt like it hadn’t been properly looked after in years. The whole hotel now feels tired, worn out, and neglected. Whatever charm it once had is long gone. For the price they charge, this place is an absolute joke. There are FAR better options in the area for the same money or less. Our return visit was such a disappointment that we will never stay here again — and we strongly recommend that others avoid making the same mistake.

Room and bathroom smelled horrendous, there was no receptionist and no place to store luggage (had to store in the main room?)

What a gem this hotel is! Ideally located to the city center by walking, the use of space in the room was incredible - made a small space feel large and so comfortable. Highly recommend! The front door code access and room code access worked EXACTLY as the pre arrival email said it would!

Room was clean and tidy, you could open the window and look out and see the top of the tower in the Markt and listen to the chimes every 1/4 hour (they shut down at 10 pm). Close to the centre of town but far enough away to be completely peaceful. Would definitely stay here again.
