(in het Engels want mijn Engelstalige Tripadvisor accepteert enkele Nederlandse woorden niet; weet niet welke)
After staying 1 night in Nov. 2020, went back for 2 nights at the end of June 2021. Mainly because we liked room.
Unfortunately, nothing had been changed about the lighting in the room (I had mentioned in hotel and emailed about it in 2020). Especially concerning lamps by/next to bed. No reading lights. Only large spotlights above headboard; then other spotlights by windows also go on. You don't switch those on if you want to read in bed, and certainly not if your partner wants to sleep. Beautiful hanging lamps above bedside tables: not enough light to read by.
Bathroom: beautiful with fine vestibule. But bathtub/bathtub very awkward. High to get in and out. You can't hold on to anything. Last time I went in but I only bumped hard. So not anymore...
Shower fine. Separate toilet: fine (we don't need the light to go on automatically; if you go at night, you immediately wake up ...)
Nespresso machine in vestibule. Top!
We dined twice in the restaurant (first evening on the terrace). Both times were unfortunately disappointing. I reported this directly to the hotel. So not here in detail. But in general: starters were different than expected. Main courses (both meat and fish) were small and the description on the menu was not correct.
Staff did a good job and were nice.
Breakfast was fine.
Aperitif on terrace, both in restaurant and in front of bar: fine, good and very friendly service.
Very sorry about the food. Is for us a reason not to go to this hotel again soon. Because there are no other restaurants nearby. We go a few times a year from Amsterdam to Twente and often stay overnight in Hengelo. We thought this was a nice alternative to be almost halfway on our way back...
