I've stayed at Ibis hotels before but this was much nicer, more upscale and stylish.
Fleur on the front desk was exceptional and went above and beyond to help me. The location is great and the room was clean and comfortable. Not cheap but still good value for the city centre.
It's Ibis. You get good dependable accommodations with food on-site and, in this case, loaner umbrellas at the door. And the noon checkout time is generous.
Breakfast was amazing. Lots of difference choices according to my previous Netherlands expriences :) I stayed in a family room and it was very specious.
- the bed was super comfortable; - it was fun to see which room we got as (according to our understanding) each room has a very different design; - the restaurant downstairs serves very good food; - everyone one was super nice;
The owner is just a really nice guy. It is a very cheap hotel that seems to be of even greater price/quality ratio. It was clear that there is a lot love within and for Hotel Barbarossa
I've only stayed in regular Ibis hotels before so I was expecting something a bit cheap and cheerful. But everything about this hotel was a delight. Excellent decor, staff, comfort, location and a great roof terrace.
The hotel is so well decorated and stylish, it feels so luxurious to be there. We were very surprised to find out that our room had its own private courtyard that could only be accessed from our room and we booked the cheapest of the room options. It was just a great hotel.
