11. The Amsterdam boat Zaandam

"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

Kortenhoef

"Schönes gemütliches Hausboot in einer kleinen Marina. Einrichtung war alles da was man braucht - sogar WLAN und zwei Fernseher. Bett war frisch überzogen und Handtücher lagen ebenfalls bereit. Wasser wurde auch immer wieder aufgefüllt. Am Tag der Anreise habe ich morgens die Nachricht bekommen mit Adresse und einem Schlüsselcode. Völlig unkompliziert. Eigentlich ruhig gelegen - aber gegenüber der Marina geht eine Landstraße vorbei , ab und zu hört man mal ein Auto. Alles in allem eine coole...

Top Europe Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful hotel, room and bathroom were large, clean, and very comfortable beds. Of course the location is amazing."

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

10/10 Excellent

"Most were really helpful. Had an issue at the breakfast buffet staff was rude and did t want to help. Had to ask multiple times for certain items on the buffet as they had ran out. Buffet price was too high for the food options and quality of food during breakfast. Espresso machine was awesome. Dinner at the restaurant was amazing .Close to everything and Prezzo accross the street is a must try place to eat if you are there"

Britannia Hotel Birmingham New Street Station

8/10 Good

"One of the elevators was out of service during my stay, resulting in wait times of more than 10 minutes for both check-in and elevator service. This was particularly inconvenient when arriving with luggage and when coming and going from the 9th floor. Despite this issue, the room itself was clean, comfortable, and nicely appointed, providing a pleasant space to relax. However, the bed was quite firm, which may not suit guests who prefer a softer mattress, and the room did not include a refrigerator, making it less convenient for storing drinks or snacks. Unfortunately, the bar and restaurant were also closed throughout my stay, which was disappointing and limited the available on-site dining options."

NH City Centre Amsterdam

10/10 Excellent

"We booked NH city centre on a whim based on its location. We were delightfully surprised at what a wonderful stay we had and in fact , extended our stay there because they were so helpful. So welcoming, clean rooms and common areas. And extra treats like free Brita water, and sour candies. We took advantage of both and enjoyed that little extra thoughtfulness. We especially want to commend Elena. She observed us coming in, engaged us in conversation, gave us great recommendations. We looks for her each day and really appreciated how well she took care of us, throughout our stay. We would highly recommmend NH CITY CENTRE for a perfect location and a very comfortable, welcoming stay! Also the woman who greeted the breakfast crowd- I did not catch her name. She was delightful!! So warm, remembered people, accommodating and helpful in assisting guests with the breakfast area."
