    A very different and fun place to stay

    There are no windows and there is no reception so the only contact with staff is via the phone. There is also no lift because of the age of the place so access is via narrow stairs

    The room is quirky, being round, very old and full of character. The room is well equipped

    Lighting needs to be better as there were no windows in our room.

    The hotel forms part of the city wall. Rooms are large and well appointed. We met the host who was kind enough to explain some of the history of the hotel and the city walls.

    Room could have been a little cleaner, especially the wires going to the lights. Other than that, no negative things to report about the property.

    Nice comfortable room. Close to the city center as well as to de Librije. Excellent offer for breakfast and presenting you with the option to reserve a parking space upfront in the parking garage right next to the entrance.

    Nothing

    The apartment is in an historic building, part of the old walls of the city. It's been beautifully adapted to accommodation, with very cool decor. Go up the stairs of the tower to find a lovely terrace. Very well located. Very comfortable. Helpful and friendly hosts. For bike tourers, there is a free parking facility just up the street. I think it was locked at about 6pm. Loved it.

    No parking, no breakfast included and hard to get heavy luggage up to the room through the windling stairs. None of these are problems really, but good to be aware of when selecting this accomodation.

    Very special to stay in an old defense tower. Large room, nicely decorated. Helpful personnel.

    Spartan experience

    With all respect. It sounds wonderful to have an old defense tower transformed into a hotel. But this is hardly a hotel. It was cold and windy in the apartment. The few windows were not really covered with any glass panels, but there were curtains of which half could be opened, the others not. Of course, there is some charm in a round room and having the brick walls, but this is real spartan. Nice, if you pretend to be a cold and shivering princess that stays in bed all the time. To add to the atmosphere and compensate the 1m thick walls, the floors were probably about 1cm thick. I could hear the persons above and below. Luckily the couple above me did not have sex, otherwise, it would have been a live ASMR experience. If this is your thing, do It, by all means. But this is not really my cup of thea. Furthermore: Very dusty wires (for the lightling) all over the apartment. Some horrible cow-hide covered chair in which I did not dare to sit, considering what might live in the hide. No heating (to speak off) Hardly any windows, and those were open (no glass). No Iron No closets No dining area No AC Hardly any electric outlets (at least not on useful places) Walk-in shower Useless flat screen TV (Neighbors will certainly complain)

    Near the center of town. Pick up of the key went well. Friendly person, have not seen her since.

    The room wasn't that clean, the sheets had stains on them and the glasses were dirty. The tower is quite noisy too since it's very old. Woke up several times because the people in the room above me were walking around in the middle of the night. Breakfast was quite minimal and overpriced. Got some slices of bread and a coffee and orange juice for €17. There's also no windows in the room at all (to be fair the description said "few windows").

    The location is superb and it's an experience to stay in the old tower. The staff that greeted me and handed me the key was very friendly and helpful.
