"The hotel's facilities and interior design were fine, but my stay was still extremely unpleasant!
First, the hotel was under renovation, but there was no mention of it when I booked through Ctrip. I only received a message from the hotel a few days before my check-in, informing me that some room areas were under renovation, but by then it was too late to cancel! Around 7 AM, although construction hadn't started, trucks loaded with construction tools were already parked on the roadside, and the noise from loading and unloading was incredibly loud! I was woken up to take some photos; it was a little before 8 AM!
Second, I must say, the soundproofing of this hotel's windows was the worst I experienced during my entire trip to the Netherlands and Germany, bar none. My room was next to a not-so-busy street, but I could clearly hear the cars driving by and pedestrians talking! I can't understand why such poor soundproofing exists in Europe, where living conditions are generally considered demanding. The soundproofing was even worse than some of the guesthouses I stayed in during this trip! I was disturbed by various noises all night long, not to mention the church bells ringing every hour across the street!
Third, the hotel's surroundings appear to be a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, which was unexpected. While there weren't any security incidents, I strongly advise against staying here for those sensitive about religion.
The only positive aspect was the hotel staff at the front desk. The two young men who helped us with our luggage the next morning were incredibly friendly.
Overall, for this price range, the experience was unacceptable to me. I strongly, strongly advise against it!"
