Late August stay at Villa Ruimzicht

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 25 Aug 2024
I had an amazing time at Villa Ruimzicht.

The room I received was incredibly welcoming and well prepared for when I arrived. It brimmed with openness due to its size and the towering windows along the wall lit up the entire interior with natural light while simultaneously providing a lovely view of the hotel garden and the street ahead. I found all my needs accommodated for, but even if I did need anything, the hotel staff was always ready to lend a hand to ensure my satisfaction.
Another quality of the hotel that enhanced my stay is its location; the 'main' city is only a stone-toss away. I could very easily get to the center without breaking a sweat, needing not to rely on a bus or a bike, although there is a bus stop very close to the hotel and the latter is generously provided by the hotel for a small fee.

However, this is the unfortunate part where I must raise some concerns I've encountered.
Speaking from my experience, I could clearly hear anything that went on upstairs in the room directly above mine. This has led to multiple awkward moments between me and my partner as whoever stayed upstairs decided to use their bed as trampoline, several times, throughout the entire day (and part of the night, too). Because of this revelation I felt worried about being noisy. On the second day of my stay I was anxious not to laugh too loud (I must admit, I did laugh loudly that evening) out of consideration for the other guests and staff.
The second issue that left me slightly dismayed was the fact that the shower door in my bathroom was very difficult to close. While the primary allure of the room I chose was the luxurious red bathtub, sometimes you feel like opting out for a quick shower instead. I quickly found out that due to a very unusual choice of door handles I was unable to properly seal the entrance to the cabin leading to a lot of water spilling on the floor and posing a slipping hazard.
Thankfully, nothing has happened to me or my partner during our stay, but I pray that this is looked into and reviewed to ensure a safe environment.

All in all, I had a very lovely stay indeed. The negatives I highlighted above do not, in any capacity, overshadow the positives at the beginning. In fact, I'm planning on booking another stay again later this very year (2024 as of writing this review) for longer - this should demonstrate how satisfied I was with my visit to Villa Ruimzicht.

I hope whoever reads this review finds informative and insightful while I thank you for staying till the very end.

This hotel is truly impressive, offering spacious and spotless rooms that ensure a comfortable stay. The breakfast is delicious and varied, while the on-site restaurant, Lokaal, is exceptional. I highly recommend this accommodation for anyone seeking quality and comfort in their travels. You won't be disappointed!

We had a very nice stay again at this beautiful hotel. Nice and green scenery around the hotel and at short walking distance from the city center, with plenty of nice restaurants . Also this region of the Netherlands is very nice and definitely worth visiting. We will come here again.

Our 1st room had 2 windows that were the size of a shoe box, which was quite fitting for the size of the room! Due to the room only having a bath and my husbands current lack of mobility, we were kindly moved to another room with a walk in shower. This room had dirty floors, dirty bedding and toiletries that were almost empty. The manager promised us a deep clean and clean bedding etc for the next day of which hasdn't been done .... when I asked why this hadn't been done I was told that the rooms are only cleaned prior to our stay .... Seriously .... the complaint was due to the lack if cleaning prior to our stay not during! 4 star; I don't think so ...

We attended a party in the hotel. We had diner before and breakfast after. Wonderful stay. Our room was huge. The dinner consisted of small bites which tasted excellent. Good diversity on the menu. During breakfast we could place our specific order for eggs and pancakes. The forest is one minute away.
