Good breakfast option-a bit heavy on meat and cheese but that fits with other experiences in the Netherlands. That said, the offerings were good, including croissants (so much better than in the US).

I gave this a low rating because there were lots of mosquitoes. Its not the hotels fault, i left the window open. However they were aware of the mosquitoes as other reviews say, and if they were aware they could have warned us. Floor and skirting a bit dirty, room had cobwebs and dust on the walls above the bed. Staff were friendly, location is beautiful. could just be a bit cleaner and it would be great
