Th hotel is very basic and average, but the choice of hotels in the city is not very big. What they lack in the rooms, they compensate with a price - it was super cheap. One thing I really missed in the room was a tea kettle. I stayed there one night only, so I only needed bed and shower, which I also got. Wouldn't stay there for a week, but for one night between the trips, it's quite fine and cheap. Also very friendly staff.
Looking for a hotel easy to find late at night and close to motorway - in that it succeeded. The bedrooms were clean but shabby, the shower small but adequate, beds OK for one. Staff were great and the bar was used by locals so I was able to chat. If you get a good rate take it but don't pay top dollar
We checked in to attend moto gp Assen double room like most was 2 rather uncomfortable single beds pushed together,rooms were cleaned everyday and fresh towels supplied breakfast (included in the price)was very average but atleast 3 choices staff were friendly and very helpful thankyou hotel hoogeveen time for a little revamp though folks "another flaw" rooms can become very cold .... They have no one to compete with maybe this us the problem
I have stayed for two nights for business reason in this hotel, since this hotel is the only one in the area. It is a terrible hotel. The rooms are extremely cold and the walls are too thin so you hear the room next to you. The bathroom is small, they do not provide any amenities and the service is average at best.
If you can I suggest you avoid this hotel and find an accomodation in a different town nearby
Australian couple travelling Europe for 6 months, we had Room 10 then asked for another room due to very bad odour, then given room 15 also bad odour, manager or owners of this hotel should sleep in a room for one night, we booked for 7 nights stayed for 2 yuk... Not the staffs fault, carpets, mattresses etc needs to be taken to the rubbish tip... We will come back when the rooms have been renovated!!!!
Competition keeps the business sharp and what happens if there is no competitor hotels in Hoogeveen, a city of about 55.000 inhabitants,is what I experienced in this hotel. The only good thing was the way the desk-clerk helped me when it turned out they screwed up my reservation in the first place. Thank you for setting this straight, saved myself a trip to another hotel. But the real taboo in this place is the word Renovation. From the minute you get out of your car you already hope the inside looks better than the outside, it just looks so late 70's. But no, hallways all have a depressing atmosphere, the room has not been redecorated for at least 25 years, and as a frequent visitor of hotels, I know that at other places I get a lot more value for money for my 120 euros. No key-cards, but 25 kilo hotel keys, old carpets, cheap tv's, there was nothing appealing to the room. But what really got my blood boiling is the toiletpaper dispenser. In a hotel I want a lavishing experience, a feeling of luxury, of abundance. That hope is shattered the moment you see it, the cheapest thing of them all, please only use 1 piece of toiletpaper at a time. It is a small thing in practice, but it can so much ruin my experience. This is the hotel where time has stopped and there is no incentive to catch up. Another sad example is the little folder attached to your room-key, with an amazing offer for hotel guests, the mother of all coupons. If you decide to visit the other two hotels of the same chain in the neighbouring villages….yeah, people, live the dream….you get your second cup of coffee for free. Accompanied by about 120 conditions, but it just says it all. In the boring hours at this hotel it made me think of who I pittied more, the person who designed this coupon about 100 years ago, or the people who use the opportunity to get a second cup of coffee (having spend 5 times the amount of gas to get there).To round up the rest of my experience, staff okay, clean only so so, breakfast was good and a poor value for money. But beware, do not visit this hotel if you want more from a hotel than just a bed and some old furniture. I am never coming back here.
