Beyond expectation hotel, this hotel near city center of the hague, walking distance to many attraction in the hague. For the business traveler, internet is very important. This hotel provide very fast n STABLE internet connection. i travel a lot, many hotel said internet @ wifi provided but when you check in, its unusable or not stable at all. for a Muslim many opti...
The room is good size and the location is good. 10 mins to central station and few mins walk to tram station. Supermarket is just opposite the hotel. Shopping arena is also very close. The breakfast is a bit simple, but there is coffee, tea and fruit supply anytime of the day.
Efficient, self contained rooms that were well maintained. It's vicinity next to the Hague HS train station makes it an ideal location, especially as my meeting at the Hague University of Applied Sciences was only a few minutes walk away.
this is an excellent hotel with good location, good service and scrumptious food. The room beds felt very comfortable and the interior designs are very modern. The breakfast there is so delicious and you can have so much for choice. People there are friendly and the services are very good. I like this hotel very much. Very Good!
This was my first time in The Hague. Mercure Hotel was fantastic. I had a long flight and arrived at 9am. I was able to check in early at no extra cost. I was given the option of a shower or bath, and I chose the latter. The room was big, clean and had all the necessities - shampoo, gel, lotion. I liked that the hotel was located walking distance to both train stations...
Great value hotel at the heart of the scenic sights in The Hague! Experience at the Easy Hotel was wonderful. Reception was available 24/7 and automated self-check in made the process an ease. The room has all the basic things perfect for a traveller (my room had a very nice view of the Church beside it). If you like to donphotoealls and get a sense of adventure about ...
Really good value for money. We were able to book the place on sale and it was completely worth it to stay here for 1 night for the Hauge. My only wish was we could have stayed for longer as the museum is right beside the place and we just didn't have time to go. Everything inside the room worked. What was just inconvenient was that the TV, although a Smart TV, wouldn...
We loved the hotel. It was clean, nice beds, balcony. Smack on the beach. Walk down and down the stairs and you have arrived. I loved that beach because its much quieter than Scheveningen and on the left one can nake walks in the dunes. Breakfast was the most elaborate I ever had in a Dutch hotel. Next time I wld book a seaview room. Did not like the roomspray; hope th...
The hotel is located on the seafront and our decision about its choice was first of all based on the fact that it is presented with a sea view. Plus spacious, renovated rooms with great design. But de facto, the renovated wing - the sidepiece and has no view of the sea. In particular, the view from our rooms went out to the ring of the tram and bus lines.
This place was clean, friendly staff all around, and well organized operations. From the time I arrived to the time I left, everyone here was positive and accommodating. They have a nice bar, with a cozy atmosphere and serve good food/drink. Patio is unique, and there is an old vw bus you can stay in if you choose. The hostel sits between a grocery market and a few gre...
Overall, not a bad stay. The breakfast in the morning is not so good. It consist of bread, sliced lunch meat and cereal, and it never changes. The rooms, while being ok, are sometimes too hot during the night. The wifi is also usually quite slow, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. For the price, you can not find a better deal. the location is close to the Den Haag H...
Very impressive hotel except the fact that a woman staff named Laura was a bit unprofessional in that she advised us to specify that I should tell in advance if I would like a twin bed and almost made me pay twice by mistake. Other than this, everything in the hotel was perfect. Would like to visit here again if I get a chance to.
If you wanna stay far away from town centre and feel sea breeze, this hotel gives you exactly what it is stated. Staff are amicable and nice and they will tell you more to a tourist who comes to the Netherlands in his first instance, like me. I know from the staff that it is not a peak season to go to Dutch in September and the unstable climate and rains are not so ...
Very very satisfy with my 2-night stay in the hotel. Hague definitely a must visit place in Holland and Hilton hotel definitely is the best choice with all the experience I had.
I visited the hague alone for the first time. The hotel staffs were all very patient and kind, with smiles on face, to answer my questions regarding transportation, restaurant and so on. There were quite a few resturants, a drug store, convenient stores, a supermarket in nearby area. Tram 17 was just around the corner. Very convenient.
Excellent Central The Hague location . Walking distance to many sites, close to public transport and Central Railwaystation. Rooms small, beds somewhat6 soft for bad backs. Bathroom and breakfast ok for 3*.
Everything about the hotel was lovely...the location which is at the heart of the city center and Den Haag's historic attractions, the spacious room, its combination of historic and modern design, the huge and super comfy bed, the relaxing massage, the sumptuous breakfast, overall safety, and the very accommodating staff and crew. Will definitely come back and recommen...
Overall, the hotel met my expectations. However, the information on surcharge for credit card payment was not made known to us on the agoda website. This should be indicated so that we can bring sufficient cash.
Whilst there isn't much to tour in the Hague, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and visit. The hotel is not modern, but well maintained with decent room and bathroom and welcoming staff, and with free wifi
I'm happy to choose this hotel, the location is good, 10-15 mins walk from the city center. the hotel is located in the embassy area, safe and quiet. room is spacious, you can find everything you need here. nicely decorated room and huge windows on three sides of the room. nice and bright during the day, but I would like more lamps in the room, it was a bit too dark i...
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Best in The Hague
We stayed here to visit specifically at Keukenhof garden in april by car. I liked the most about 1. Floor heating at bathroom as we felt very cold in spring and 2. The restaurant serving huge porkribs and side dishes at reasonable price.
Simply bed and breakfast. Receptionist is in 30 meters from rooms, there also happens breakfast, which is usual or continental (buffet). About 300 meters to beautiful beach of Scheveningen. Parkin near hotel is on the street and is free from 0-00 till 9-00, so I dropped my car in about 600m from hotel, where it was free until 13-00. The hotel is worth the money.
I had a heavy and big luggage and the gentleman on duty who has a little problem with his leg helped to bring the luggage down to basement where my room is. And the day when 0i check out he happend to be on duty and once again helped me to carry the luggage up and to the doorway outside. I am really grateful for his willingness to help even thought he has difficulty wa...
The staff here were all very helpful. The breakfast for Holland was good and the view fo breakfast is wonderful to look out the big glass windows and look at the sea and the pier. The price was very reasonable and great value for the area. If you are staying in the area. I recommend to stay here and enjoy the history of the hotel
We only stayed for one night but this hotel was definitely one of the best on our trip through several cities in Europe. From the very start we were treated in a very friendly way (spinning the wheel to receive a free gift at check-in was fun and quirky)! The room was a good size, very clean and comfortable, and the kitchenette was equipped with everything we needed ...

The location is quite good since it is near the supermarket and shopping sites in The Hague. Bathroom and the shower were nice and clean.

It was a wonderful experience. The services were good, the stuff very friendly and helpful. I should have liked to have some movie channels, in English, for the nighttime.
