Stadshotel De Klok

Fabulous location, efficient and friendly staff (both at check in, at the bar and at breakfast), and it wasn't noisy despite being in the centre and above a restaurant. It's nice to wake up on a Friday morning and the markets are right there at your doorstep. Breakfast is sufficient, eggs, pastries, breads, any type of coffee that you'd like, yoghurt, juice, cold cut meats, etc. You can park at the Oude Vest car park at a discounted rate - about 13€ for 24 hours. It's open air and at the back of Albert Heijn and feels safe.

The ventilation of the hotel I think filters air from outside and circulates it throughout the building. When someone smokes near the ventilator, it circulates the smell through the system. I smelled quite a bit of it in my room - but not at night. Only in the day time. It doesn't stay on the clothes or the bed linens, but still not very pleasant. The hotel management should install a sign to disallow smoking within 9 metres of the air-intake.

The bar and restaurant staff. The manager was very friendly and helpful The evening meals were excellent.

no one cleaned my bathroom or emptied the bins for 3 days. the lady on reception when checking out was rude, inefficient and very grumpy.
