HOTEL ROEMER

Exceptional breakfast, very kind receptionists, very comfortable bed and bathroom. We would like to suggest some more light in the room, it's too low. Our room had a nice balcony looking into the gardens. Would like to come back!

... we liked everything about the hotel. Staff and place were very nice, friendly and helpful. Location perfect, close to the centre, but not too close... At night it was noisy, earplugs recommended. It was clean, and had a stylish interior design. Bikes for rent - a very easy way to get around.

We stayed in Hotel Roemer for 5 nights recently. The staff were great and sorted out any problems and requests that we had, from moving us from room 16, after one night, which was just above street level and neither I or my husband were happy with that, to giving me some ice for my sore and tender heel. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of hanging space and shelves.Complimentary coffee & tea was available. Our second room, no 21, faced the court yard/gardens with a balcony which suited us much better. This room had an iPod dock and our first room didn't, unless I missed it. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel as we went 5 mins away to a cafe called 'Bagels and Beans' which was lovely. There are a couple of small supermarkets near by and other shops north of the hotel on the street called Overtoom. We went to a typical dutch restaurant nearby called 'Hap Hmm' on a couple of nights which is nearby. No reservations taken and only cash (but we did see someone pay with a card) and only open between 5-9.15pm. Last food orders at 8.30pm. Also can recommend Gollem's Proeflokaal ' just over 5 minutes walk away on Overtoom for a great selection of draught and bottle beers and food is available as well - we had the hamburgers. We got the bus, 197, from the airport and bought return e-tickets online. We got off at Leidesplein and walked behind the Marriot hotel to Hotel Roemer which only took a few minutes.

Located on a quiet side-street just of the Leidseplein the hotel is very well located for the nearby museums and restaurants. The staff on the desk were excellent, very welcoming while providing lots of local information to help us maximise our stay. We stayed in the annex over the road from the main Reception and the room with its balcony was very nice and made for a comfortable stay. Recommended and very good value for money in what can be an expensive City for hotels.

Our room (24) was just odd, a really poorly designed use of space. Things we could have used were not there - drawers for clothes, a decent sized closet (we were there for a week), and there was absolutely was counter space near the sink. The sink was barely 2 inches deep so the water splashed all over. But there was a five foot long counter in the bedroom with just a small coffee pot. We ended up using it to pile our clothes! Things we had no use for took up a lot of room - not only the counter but a massive bathtub next to the shower, a tv in the bathroom and a huge four foot round table next to the bed. Our shower had no shelf for shampoo or conditioner but then none were provided, only a pump jar that doubled as soap and shampoo. And you can't flush the toilet until you stand up and pull down the seat cover. Who designed this place' The beds were comfortable. The AC was poor. The young people at the front desk were perfectly pleasant but had no training or understanding about hospitality - they meant well but seemed to have no knowledge at all about public transportation, local restaurants or attractions. One nice young man did try to look something up for us but the ancient PC he was working with took so long, we did it on our phones. We wouldn’t go back and we wouldn’t recommend it.
