Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Van Walsum enjoys a favorable location with the Central Station within a 17-minute walk and metro station just 7 minutes away, making it a convenient base for exploring the city. Many guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, some featuring coffee machines and mini-fridges, and some also have access to the garden. While the parking garage entrance might be a bit narrow for larger cars, the hotel's proximity to nice bars and an ice cream shop that opens late adds to its appeal.

the entrance to the parking garage is quite narrow. you have to drive back a few buildings to get to the garage.

Mixed feelings about the stay

mismatched photosinadequate soundproofing
The room I was assigned (Standard Double or Twin Room) did not match the photos online, disappointing. Soundproofing was inadequate. I could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway starting early in the morning. The bathroom looked outdated. I also found small bugs in the shower one night. It concerned me (to say the LEAST).
