We absolutely loved the hotel itself! It’s a very special place, with amazing modern art decorations and design twists. It was like staying at a modern art museum. They have a huge garden where they cultivate a lot of things which can then be found in their restaurant or for sale in their indoor market shop. People were very nice and the view from our floating bedroom was also nice :) We very much appreciated the fact that the windows all had mosquito nets. We also loved the proximity with Dordrecht! We could go meet up in the center of town in no time and come back late without problem :)

The ventilation in the floating room was a bit challenging. For the price, we expected to have AC or at least an ok ventilation, but it wasn’t the case, and the day was very hot. We managed to air out by keeping the front door open for a bit, and the windows open at night. I mean it’s basically like being on a boat so it’s ok, but we just found it challenging to create a good airflow in the room. Also, finding the parking was a bit tricky at first.

Delightful waterfront unit, amazing breakfast, good value meals with fresh food from garden highlight of stay. Fresh produce wonderful. Near national park for kayaking. Parking was included; premium price but for a premium property highlighted by kitchen. This was a memorable stop on our trip - we went to Dordrecht only to visit this property and plan to do so again in the future. A unique experience highly recommend. Waterfront was largely quiet in evening and beautiful. Bed very nice. More spacious than anticipated.

Water unit does not have AC and not screened so dependent on weather. Warned by other reviews about heat we shortened to one day stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Would be nice to have way to secure windows open and screen for insects.

The property is different. We stayed in the water tower. There was not a lot of hanging or drawer space to unpack. Riveted floor uncomfortable under foot. Take slippers!!! Great view from room overlooking restaurant. Fantastic afternoon scones and cake selection. Staff are very friendly. Market garden shop stocked with amazing products. Lovely setting for relaxing. Bus stop just along from hotel to Dordrecht station. Trains accessible from Rotterdam to many cities. Lovely stay.

Exceptional location, really pretty. Nice atmosphere, great bed, nice shower and really nicely decorated, as well as the room as the entire place. The building for the breakfast (same location as the restaurant) is really marvelous, the walk through the garden to get there as well. Really impressive. Proper breakfast. Lovely coffee (which you have to order, otherwise it's coffee from a large pot which is not that good). The restaurant btw, where we ate during our stay, is really excellent also. Would certainly go back!

The carpeting in the room; it is clean but it looks smudged which makes it not as nice for the feel of it, walking barefoot and all. But that's it :-)

Family room (just the 2 of us) with huge double bed has its own decking area for relaxing in the sunshine (not in main building) with lovely view of the beautifully maintained vegetable garden. Restaurant 1 minute walk with good menu. Really quiet at night as 20 minute walk from centre of town. Staff were polite, friendly and helpful.

Although breakfast was good at 18 Euros each it needed to be!

This place is gorgeous! Love the combination of elegance but also quirky decor. The food is beyond fresh (as in just picked out of the garden a few hours earlier) and the staff is uniformly welcoming, friendly and helpful.

There is no air conditioning- but we didn’t need it either. The rooms have lots of windows and the hotel is on the water so lots of nice breeze.

A dreamlike fairytale castle of a hotel with an Alice-in-Wonderland feel to it. Beautiful rooms, quirky industrial hardware meets designer shabby chic vibe in an old water tower. Superb food, much of it fresh from the gardens that surround the main tower. Lovely friendly and enthusiastic staff who clearly love their job and the hotel ethos. Superb.

Nothing could be better

Beautiful location, looking out on the gardens, great old building with the modern comforts. Loved the decor of my room. Very comfy beds and clean crisp sheets. So nice to walk over to the restuarant, we always wanted to do this. Nice to walk into the city the next morning for a shopping trip and enjoy the beautiful architecture in Dordrecht.

We stayed in a water tower room. Amazing and quirky. Grounds of the hotel perfect - you can have a coffee somewhere or a glass of wine in the evening. Fab topiary a bonus

No door on the toilet. Didn't matter to us but if a couple that hadn't been together that long might be a bit awkward...

We spent a night here on our way home from Bavaria. Villa Augustus was oustanding in every respect - a most interesting conversion from a serries of water management buildings set in a beautiful formal park (to the north) and exquisite vegetable garden (to the south). Reception was most attentive, room and beds very comfortable, the food excellent. Couldn't fault it. We thought Villa Augustus is a destination in its own right.
