Prinsengracht Hotel

It’s quite in a good location.

I think it wasn’t worth it to charge me 30 euros for 1 hour late check out! Especially that I asked if it was ok and the receptionist said it fine as long as I leave before 13:00 hrs. I stepped out 12:45 pm and then they decided to charge me 30 euros! The city was locked down by government orders because of the Coronavirus pandemic and my plan and flight arrangements were changed accordingly. So I had to make new arrangements; Yet the management insisted I should pay for 1 hour late check out!! We run a guest house as well and we always assist our guests free of charge late check out regardless of the situation. What’s ironic is that there were only 3 guests in total because obviously other guests cancelled after the lockdown. Besides that the housekeeping lady was friendly and helpful. Regards

The simple comfort of the room. And the bed was very good.

The mirror which is now positioned several feet above the basin in the bathroom. Only to a giant it would be useful. For me, being small,it was absurd! Perhaps it could be lowered. The limited number of channels I could get on the tv did not include the BBC, When pressing the number indicated for this channel, as indicated in the Hotel Manual (13) for the Hampshire Hotel (=Prinsengracht Hotel), I could only get CNN. Better instructions might be useful. I could not switch the tv off with the remote control, and had to resort to pulling out the plug... Otherwise no complaints!

The staff were friendly and helpful, offering me a free coffee and carrying my case up the stairs. I appreciated the special offer on the breakfast. It is in a very convenient place for visiting the canal area of the city and museums. I enjoyed its canalside location.

The stairs down to the entrance are a little inconvenient with a heavy bag but staff helped me on the way out.
