What guests think

Across recent reviews, Boutique Hotel First City is praised for its central, tram-front location and walkability to stations, consistently friendly staff, generally clean spaces, and simple rooms that are comfortable though often compact and no-frills.

Some guests note a less appealing immediate area, occasional noise from trams or hallways, and periods of renovation affecting access or first impressions. Facilities are basic: no on-site parking but garages nearby, the elevator does not serve all floors so some rooms require steep stairs, and in-room storage or coffee/tea can be limited. Breakfast and coffee arrangements vary widely, with feedback ranging from minimal or unavailable to plentiful and complimentary. Overall, expect a straightforward base suited to short city stays.

I don’t like writing reviews where the property can’t do much about it, but it’s a few blocks from the centrum and the area is not great. They are renovating the hotel so at times it was noisy. My room was on the top floor with two other rooms and was only accessible from a steep staircase with narrow treads. They helped me get my suitcase up but it was a challenge to get it down. There is an elevator for the other floors. Not worth the price.

Mooi & modern ingericht! Kamers wel wat gehorig. In kamer 4 hoor je een flinke bromtoon vanwege een ondefinieerbare unit buiten naast de kamer. We kregen gelukkig een andere kamer waar de bromtoon niet te horen was. Top locatie in de stad! Aardig personeel! Overal schoon maar het stofzuigen kan zeker beter. Prijs/kwaliteit goed in verhouding. Al met al een aanrader op wat kleine puntjes na.

Het is een fijn hotel, met een ruime en schone kamer. Alles zag er verzorgd uit. Ze hebben goede bedden, een nette badkamer en zeker niet onbelangrijk….vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel! Wij hebben er gelogeerd met 2 volwassenen en een kind van 9. De kamer was groot genoeg voor ons drietjes. (Bovenste kamer gehad, nr 28 voor de verbouwing. 31-7 t/m 2-8-2023)

Receptie medewerker onvriendelijk en totaal niet behulpzaam. Geen oog voor klanten. Gangen te klein en smal. Kinderwagen kon bijna niet door en draaien. Kamer vies. Douche niet schoongemaakt door schoonmaakster. Ik had 1 tweepersoonsbed gevraagd en kreeg 2 losse 1 persoonsbed dekbedden te klein. Kamer was koud in de nacht was het niet te doen. Bedden gingen telkens uit elkaar enzovoort. Tegels van badkamer waren erg vies en donker. Douche kop was ook niet schoon. Totaliteit zeer teleurstellend verblijf.

Heel leuk hotelletje. Ze waren wel druk met de verbouwing dus het was wel erg rommelig. De kamers zijn niet heel groot maar prima te doen. De badkamer is klein en het wordt heel slecht onderhouden. De badkamer zijn de voegen en de kit randen helemaal bruin, slechte schoonmaak. Dat is wel heel jammer. Wat wel een pluspunt is, is dat de tram voor de deur stopt

It seemed to me it was a house converted to a hotel. Which is ok but the stairway inside our room to the upper section of the room was kind of not easy to use and the shower area was too small. However, overall we didn’t have any problem during our stay.

This was my third stay at the hotel and the lobby improvements were wonderful. The staff is always inviting and accommodating, and that combined with the location is why I return. My room this trip was not the best (#22) as it was by a hall door that when closing shook the wall awakening me several times. Also, no fridge or coffee in the room.

Very good location, close to train station, close to Royal Academy den Haag, close to shops and restaurants. It would be useful to have a list of recommended restaurants in the area to try traditional Dutch food. Pannenkoeken, Indonesian Rijsttafel, and deep fried snacks like Bitterballen and Kroket were on my list to try, but the front desk had no local recommendations. A bit noisy at night due to trains and street traffic, but settled down after midnight.

Hotel charge for each coffee and ask $10 to buy a mug to waive the coffee charges. Entrance is locked and need reception to open but may takes time as there is only one reception who maybe busy. No support to give info to move around the city. Neighboring shops are repairiing shiop. or close down and too quiet makes me nervous. Walking to Train station is not bad. Once get back to main street, you see the normal tourists and downtown you feel safe

It's quite clean when we were there, everything was fine. I was just unsatisfied with one thing, the door to the balcony was opened and couldn't close, I asked about three receptionists of different shifts about fixing it during our stay, the first one said that it was meant to be fixed on the day, but it didn't. I said as the room was not fully functioned, I should get a little discount for the payment, he said I could ask the receptionist the second day. When I asked the second and third receptionist, both of them said that we will check it, and no one was checking or following up this problem. And I gave up asking finally. This was the only experience I felt really bad. Otherwise. Overall it's clean and near the center.
