The building looks very impressive from the outside and I was not disappointed by the inside either. I had a very spacious room on the third floor, with a little sitting area and a sizeable bathroom. The room was well-appointed and I particularly appreciated the thick curtains, keeping out the light. With curtains open, I had a great view of the inner harbour and the North Sea in the distance. The breakfast was good, the people were friendly and my bed was very comfortable.

Two minor criticisms: there was a bit of cobweb or dust stuck to the ceiling of the room and, especially in such a palatial room, it would have been nice to have a bath in addition to a shower.

We had a superior double room on 6th floor with an amazing view over the port. The staff was so professional, kind and competent, especially those at the breakfast service. While variety for breakfast was not huge, everything was delicious and never in short supply. The room was not too big, but just enough for a couple's short stay, with a safe, bathrobes and free mini bar (with an extra bottle of water in the room). Bathroom with shower so neat! I'd love to visit again the city and stay in this hotel. Make sure you have a look at the weather before you go. It seems there is very often (really strong!) wind and rain.

If I would have to note a drawback that would be the TV channels. If you don't speak German, your options are BBC World News and Bloomberg. Though few channels offered the possibility to change language, it was not working properly (suggesting: German or German, German or French which actually was still in German language).

1. The hotel is situated on the waterfront. 2. The view is spectacular. 3. The food selections including vegetarian was splendid. 4. The staff was very friendly and eager to please. 5. Clearly one of the best hotels I have stayed in recent times.

The coffee machine is something I do not like or use. Traditional coffee sachet with creme or milk is always a better option

We loved the breakfast. The staff were very agreeable and helpful when they dared to be. We also love the location, with fantastic views over the town, harbour and sea.

The rather bossy managers, especially over the breakfast staff. It may be a cultural thing but to us Dutchies, being strict with your staff comes across as bossy, unkind and unwelcoming.

Excellent location, spacy room, and very good spa. Great views during breakfast and very friendly staff. We could use the spa the day of checking in before 15:00 and the entire day after we checked out!

Wi-FI in specific areas of the room was not stable

View from room on 7th. floor was great. Hotel was very clean and everything worked well.

That's not hotels fault, but my locked bike was stolen in the front of the main entrance. Take your bike in the hotel. There are professional thiefs even there. The lock was cutted with bolt cutter.

Very good size room. Magical view overlooking the bay. Very good selection of food for breakfast. Very attentive staff. Very good location for the town and walks on the Deich.

Building now perhaps looking a little tired outside. Bar atmosphere seemed quiet and unimaginable. Perhaps that was why not many people in it Otherwise in our eyes nothing to fault it.

Location Standard of rooms Facilities

There was an additional ‘Atlantic Charge’ per night & an additional parking charge per night

The breakfast was really nice

Nothing

The hotel has a great location right on the harbor, offering gorgeous views over the water. The rooms were clean and modern with comfortable lighting and amenities. The spa area was clean and the facilities were enjoyable, and we had both an excellent dinner and a diverse, delicious breakfast in the restaurant - I felt like nothing was missing! :) We also came with our dog, so upon arrival, our room was already set up with a dog bed, food and water bowls as well as a lovely little package of dog treats with a message addressed directly to our dog! This was a huge plus for me because they treated him like a guest, so we felt especially welcome!!

Our mattress was fairly stiff and the pillows were really squishy/flimsy, which can be fine for some people, but we both spent the whole night tossing and turning and I eventually got up earlier than anticipated feeling tired, stiff and with neck pain. Our shower head also had a bit of mold on it, which was surprising considering how pristine the room was otherwise. The room also had large windows, which I loved, but there was a small sign on them indicating that we weren’t allowed to open them due to mosquitos and spiders (even though they technically were able to be opened).
