Guest Reviews
- Jutta (8/5): - Das junge Personal war sehr freundlich und bemüht. Für einen Aufenthalt, den man an Strand oder in der Umgebung verbringen möchte super geeignet. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel schnell zu Fuß erreichbar. Jedes Zimmer ist anders eingerichtet, Frühstück fein und ausreichend. Keine Hotelbar etc.
- Kelly (10/5): Great stay - The hotel is brilliant. The idea of it being run by students is great. The staff were all very friendly amd helpful. The hotel was well run, it was clean in all areas. The room was lovely, well decorated and clean. Breakfast was simple but nice. Overall we had a great stay, thank you
- benoit (10/5): Avis séjour famillial - Séjour très agréable, l'hotel est très correct que ce soit sur l'état général comme l'organisation.
Le personnel est au petit soin et très performant.
Grande professionnalité.
A renouveler
- Anne (10/5): - Nette kamer alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt en zorgvuldig schoongemaakt.
- Agathe (10/5): - Sehr saubere Zimmer und super freundliches Personal. Die Lage ist toll. Nähe zum belebten Strand und dem Naturschutzgebiet, wenn man mehr Ruhe benötigt
- Chantal (8/5): - We werden verrast door de disney kamer, onze zoon van 4 vond het geweldig. We moesten met iets langer wachten voor we in de kamer konden maar dat werd opgelost door een hele aardige receptionist met iets lekkers en een drankje. Wij komen zeker terug.
- K (6/5): - Das Zimmer sah nicht aus wie auf den Bildern. Auf den Bildern schaut alles modern aus aber die Einrichtung und das Bad in unserem Zimmer war alt. Dazu war das Zimmer nicht sauber. Flecken und Staub war überall zusehen. Die Hygieneartikel mit denen beworben wird, waren leer und die Kaffeemaschine funktionierte nicht (nach Anfrage haben wir kostenlosen Kaffee auf das Zimmer erhalten) das Frühstück wurde nicht wie auf dem Zettel bestellt, vollständig aufgetischt.
Das einzige was sehr gut war, war das Personal. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundliche und haben bei Herausforderungen geholfen. Dennoch reicht das nicht für einen weiteren Aufenthalt aus.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great service by the staff. Room has some ceiling damage but was overall nice
- A (10/5): Top verblijf - Geweldig om hier te verblijven prima service kamer en ontbijt
- Maan (8/5): - The staff was accommodating, helpful and friendly. The room was equipped with essentials and when i faced technical problems with the room i was upgraded to a different room. However, when i checked out i was accused unequivocally of smoking inside the room and I had to deal with that inconvenience until proven not guilty. That was annoyind and i did not appreciate it.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Goede locatie, vlakbij strand, parkeren om de hoek
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The very best experience. Team, facilities and rest are amazing. Great to be back. Will surely come again
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Bedden waren oke, ontbijt prima maar douche was slecht en kapot en de kamer stoffig. Dat hebben we aangegeven maar hier wordt niets mee gedaan als alleen een notitie.
- Carlos (8/5): - Freundliche Personal immer hilfsbereit
Gute Location
Strandnähe
- Rudi (8/5): - Mist een frigo of koelkast en bestek
- Konstantinos (10/5): Excellent choice. Very customer friendly! - Excellent staff, friendly and pleasant atmosphere
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Mooi opleiding in praktijk te ervaren..............
- Lionel (8/5): Option intéressante dans une ecole hôtelière - A par le programme TV très limité, le séjour d'affaires a été agréable. Le petit déjeuner est standard +. Quelques choix d'aliments chauds mais peu variés. Le personnel exagère un peu dans l'attention qu'ils portent aux clients. Mais c'est une école... Hors saison, le tarif est très compétitif.
- Bettina (10/5): - Das studentische Personal, welches das Hotel führt, ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Weiter so!!! Ich würde jederzeit wieder dieses Hotel buchen.
Die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut. Der Strand ist zu Fuß sehr gut zu erreichen. In wenigen Minuten ist man mit dem Auto in Den Haag.
- Marjolein (10/5): - Friendly eficient service, comfortable room, staff were very helpful Hotel location not far from tram and bus links so easy to get around.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Heel persoonlijk en attent hoe de hotelschool studenten de gasten benaderen
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotelschool op een hele mooie locatie. Veel studenten. Is leuk. Niet alles is statisch en oubollig. Leuke is, er gaat af en toe wat mis.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Was prima! Personeel deed erg z'n best en alles was in orde.
- Michael (8/5): - Gute Lage, sehr nettes und. bemühtes Personal. Zimmer gut, Frühstück sehr lecker
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Goede ruime kamer, badkamer wel iets verouderd. Zeer net ontvangst. Voertaal Engels, maar nederlands wordt ook altijd gesproken. Goed ontbijt. Bij ons ontbijt een probleem met personele bezetting, maar dit heeft niets afgedaan aan het ontbijt zelf. Prima hotel en zeker een goedkoper alternatief voor een nachtje scheveningen
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very nice to have a studenr runned hotel. Good breakfast
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Goed dat je studenten de gelegenheid kan geven om te 'oefenen'.
De locatie is eveneens goed. Service was goed. Vragen werden professioneel beantwoord.
Spijtig dat er voor 's avonds geen afzonderlijke plaats voorzien is voor gasten waar je vb iets kan drinken.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beim Einchecken war Herr van Koij sehr behilflich.Generell war das Personal sehr freundlich.
- paul (6/5): A bit hit and a bit miss - Strange layout of hotel, lift from the pavement outside takes you to an outside first floor, walk around the corner to the door of the hotel. Check in was easy, the room ok, tv did not work properly it hummed so loudly that you had to put the volume so high to hear it, so we didn’t put it on, we didn’t want to disturb the neighbours. reported it but nothing done, we were there three nights, to watch the news would have been good. Also no telephone in the room , mentioned it, but nothing done. Room service was ok , a bit hit and miss sometimes , no loo roll, no towels, but I guess it is a teaching hotel , so it’s going to be like that sometimes. Breakfast also was nice, but limited, one morning there was fruit and yogurt the next none , scrambled or boiled egg. Of course toast and cereal. What we had was nice and well made, and we did not wait long. Front of house was very good very polite.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Gewoon goede kamer, bed en redelijk ontbijt. Vriendelijke mensen
- Verified traveler (8/5): - vriendelijk personeel, goede accommodatie en schone kamers.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - De studenten zijn stuk voor stuk top. Ontbijt is prima. Bedden heel goed. Al met al een goed verblijf
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Es gab einen alten Röhrenfernseher, äußerst komisch in der heutigen Zeit und der Sessel war leider zerschnitten. Ansonsten gab es alles was man brauchte. Im Endeffekt ist man da nur zum schlafen und dafür hat es voll und ganz gereicht :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Zimmer sauber und hübsch eingerichtet. Die Lage ist perfekt.
Der einzige "MIni-Schönheitsfehler" wenn man etwas suchen möchte wäre, dass das Zimmer keine Klimaanlage hatte.
Aber auch dafür stand im Zimmer ein Ventilator für alle Fälle bereit!
Also insgesamt äußerst empfehlenswert!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - prima ontvangst, werden vlot geholpen.
kamers basic, prima voor 1 nacht.
Lokatie top, overal dichtbij
- lars (6/5): Blandede oplevelser på Skotel - Havde ikke fået læst kommentarer om at det var et hotel til uddannelse, hvilket var en fejl.
Venligt personale, men værelse var noget slidt og ikke helt rent. Morgenmad under middel og vi skulle vente over 30 min. på at få morgenmad der skulle bestilles og laves særskilt. For dyrt hotel i forhold til standard.
Det var skolens ferie og jeg ved ikke om det havde indflydelse på oplevelsen.
Område dejligt, når man først kom ned til boardwalk og strand, som var rimelig tæt på.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr nah zum Strand, sehr freundliches Personal, interessantes Konzept
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Gute Lage und günstige Parkmöglichkeit. Leider war das Zimmer enttäuschend, der Teppichboden war übersät mit alten Flecken, das Inventar abgenutzt. Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Personal war sehr bemüht und freundlich.
- Christian (8/5): - Teveel Engels talig, geld voor heel Scheveningen!
- Anders (8/5): Hotellskola - Hotell som drivs av en hotellskola. Ok läge i Scheveningen. Lite gammal standard i rummen. Frukosten fick man beställa när man kom till restaurangen, inte bara att ta för sig som på andra hotell. Trevlig personal.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Natürlich merkt man, dass sie noch unerfahren im Umgang mit Gästen sind. Die Zimmer waren dreckig. Badezimmer viel zu dunkel. Betten durchgelegen. Teppich voller Flecken. Ekelhaft! Die Nähe zum Meer überzeugt.
- Stuart (6/5): Give it a miss unless you are very easy going. - The hotel has a good location close to the beech, but requires a 5 minute walk to the tram to go any further. Den Haag centre is a 15-20 min journey by tram.
Room was tired (in need of redecorating) and needed a clean (dust on table and shelves). We had a laugh upon discovering the CRT TV. We haven’t seen one of those 20yrs. The toilet was wedged between the wall and the sink requiring us to sit on it at a 45° angle with one leg touching the toilet roll holder and the other the sink. Showering in the dark was fun as no light! Bulb out in main room and broken coffee machine (both were fixed after we brought it to the attention of reception).
Breakfast on day one was great - good service, good selection. Breakfast on day two was a disaster - after 25 minutes I had to go and ask where our basket of bread products were, let alone the other items ordered. Eventually took 45 minutes to have a continental breakfast (almost what we ordered)! We would suggest a buffet style breakfast like other hotels to speed up the process. It was possible to help yourself to juice, coffee and some yoghurt’s however the juice and yogurts were never replenished so unless you got there early you are out of luck and just had to have a hot drink.
The worse thing was the bed. The hardest slab we have ever tried to sleep on. It was sloped to one side so we always felt we were about to roll out of bed.
Finally, we were given incorrect information about use/location of trams.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Overnachting van 11 op 12 augustus.
Goed: leuke kamers. We hadden 4 kamers geboekt en ze waren alle 4 anders.
Prima koffie bij ontbijt
Vriendelijk personeel
Slecht: Een handmengkraan op de douche is toch echt niet meer van deze tijd. De buren gingen waarschijnlijk naar het toilet. Eerst een hele hete douche en nadat ik deze weer eindelijk op temperatuur had werd deze weer ijskoud.
Jammer genoeg geen bar in het hotel
We gingen met 5 personen ontbijten. De jongeman die onze tafel dekte stopte tussendoor om eerst een tafel te dekken voor 4 personen die binnen kwamen. Lijkt me niet echt de bedoeling!! Netjes 5 croissants maar we kregen 1 wit en 1 bruin bolletje en voor de rest gewoon brood.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Vriendelijk behulpzaam personeel dicht bij het strand
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Vond je een prima hotel voor die Prijs 👍personeel prima bed prima schoon
- Verified traveler (8/5): - De inzet en enthousiasme van de meeste medewerkers was fantastisch. Het was spijtig dat je tijdens het weekend 's avonds niet in het hotel kon eten.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Alle waren sehr freundlich,sehr gute Lage ,prima Frühstück.Zimmer war sehr sauber,Bad war auch schön nur der Tepichboden war sehr abgenutzt und mit vielen Flecken was uns beim ersten Blick etwas gestört hat.
- Jeanette (8/5): Prima adres voor overnachting in Scheveningen - prima, je merkt dat de studenten alles "stipt" willen doen. Het was aardig om te zien dat we allemaal een verschillend uitgevoerde kamer kamer hadden.... Prima adres voor een hotel in Scheveningen
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Enorm mooie en fijne hotel kamer voor een lage prijs. Wij hebben het hier enorm naar ons zin gehad.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The location was very convenient. Staff is friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Prima hotel. Lekker op loopafstand van het strand.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Don't be cheated by the photos provided by the hotel. I stayed in a normal double room with very simple decoration only. I should say, a bit ugly. But the room is clean and with all basic facilities.
Very nice staff, breakfast is just okay.
Unclear indication of where the hotel's car park is.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The receptionists were very friendly and forthcoming. The breakfast and the service in the breakfast restaurant was below average. The entrance to the hotel was easy to miss partly due to the stairs being sealed off.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Generelle Hotelausstattung passend und modern. Leider sind die Zimmerausstattungen etwas in die Jahre gekommen und der Teppich hat sehr viele Flecken.
Die Sauberkeit der Zimmer, also Bett und Bad, ist aber okay !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Einige Zimmern sind sehr neu und modern. Die waren super. Einige Zimmern sind leider (noch nicht) reserviert. Die waren dann sehr kalt und nicht so komfortabel. Das Frühstück war aber sehr gut. Und ein Riesen Lob an das Personal ! Super super nett! Die Lage ist auch gut. Würden wieder buchen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Goede service, bediening ontbijt kan iets vlotter en wij waren met 8. Aan 1 zijde wer er vergeten brood en vlees te zetten
- N.H (4/5): - Vriendelijk personeel, de kamers ogen vies door de vieze vloerbedekking. Spiegel erg smerig, douche nog nat bij binnenkomst.
Ontbijt verloopt vreemd / moeizaam- niet logisch.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Alles was zeer goed! We komen zeker terug bij skotel
- DevosPieter (8/5): - De prijs van de parking was goed en vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Het ontbijt hebben wij liever in buffetvorm.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Oude en nieuwe kamers. Zelfs de nieuwe kamers krijg je beetje ‘ziekenhuis’ gevoel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Staff was wonderful and friendly. Ladies that checked us in seemed eager and happy to be apart of the program they are taking. It was wonderful to learn from them, the concept. Beautifully clean, quiet, and equipped rooms. Breakfast staff could use some improvement, as there was no quality check on food, confusing options and I think our food came out wrong. We received almost a full load of bread and 4 large buns for 2 to share... I don't eat bread, so it was a bit excessive -but if that's the biggest complaint ..
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Mooie kamer, goede voorzieningen als koffie en apparaat erbij. Het ontbijt was teleurstellend omdat we erg lang moesten voor het eten bezorgd werd en onduidelijk waarom omdat het niet bijzonder was, plakje zalm en 2 plakjes avocado. Zo druk was het niet.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Betreft een hotel gerund door studenten, je ziet duidelijk verschil in inzet. De receptie was goed geregeld
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nettes und hilfsbereites Personal. Frühstück sehr gut, Zimmer auch gut
- Schröder (2/5): - Sehr nettes Personal, Hotel recht ruhig.
Die Ausstattung war das schlimme. Wir haben die erste Nacht kaum geschlafen und in der zweiten Nacht sind wir wieder aufgestanden und abgereist. Das Bett ist eine Zumutung, lagen darin wie in einem Wasserbett mit zu wenig Wasser drin. Die Kopfkissen waren hart und zu dick. Die Unterlage war eine dicke Daunendecke.
Ein alter Röhrenfernseher war im Zimmer.
Nett war die kleine Kaffeemaschine. Das Badezimmer war zu dunkel beleuchtet, Dusche hatte gar keine Beleuchtung.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was clean and overall quite nice. The staff were all extremely pleasant and helpful.
- Ioan (4/5): - There are students in this hotel.Breakfast was poor with few options and is not buffet. Personal is very kindly. In room there is a bad and old furniture smell and bed was not confortable. Bathroom door creaky. I waited a long time, more than 30min, next morning for the students to generate an invoice at checkout.
- Ruth (10/5): - I liked everything! Kind and helpful staff, clean rooms, good breakfast.
- Ruth (10/5): - Really nice,staff are very kind students. Peaceful place and very clean . I highly recommend it
- Cagdas (10/5): Good deal - Lovely student staff that give you their best.
- Bruno (10/5): Great value for the money.tidy ans nice staff - Everything's perfectl.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Having read some of the reviews,I was unsure of what to expect - my stay has exceeded all expectations! Check in was easy, the rooms were fine But tired (some redecoration needed) and well equipped ( no fridge or air conditioning , fan provided!) What really made this hotel for me was the quality of the service and the pleasant manner of all the students. If you are thinking of staying here, bear in mind it is a training hotel and the hall of residence for first year students so you will see some!
I had the Sofitel room. Great bed, heating was efficient, and fab shower with plenty of towels, hot water and complimentary toiletries designed by disabled artists. There was a coffee machine and a rather ancient television which did have a digital box so the choice of channels was extensive- even bbc 1 and 2. Having stayed at a very expensive hotel in scheveningen in the past which did not have this selection, I was delighted. Breakfast is a set menu, served mostly by 1st year students. On day 1, I had finished in just over an hour, day 2 , 45 minutes and days 3 and 4 , half an hour! I chose fried eggs which were well cooked and served hot. Rooms cleaned by students and done very well. A nice touch of a turn down service at which a chocolate and the weather forecast were left . At one point, a male first year student cleaned the public bathrooms and a few minutes later, a 3rd year student checked it was done properly! 5 mins walk to tram and bus. A good, reasonably priced hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): Reasonable price hotel on outskirts of The Hague - Friendly and attentive young staff.
Nice room large bed.
Reasonable choice of breakfast
No bar or restaurant there but very close to lively town with loads of restaurants bars and tram stop to city centre.
- Nick (10/5): A lovely place with attentive staff - Skotel was a wonderful experience. The hotel is student run and the students are attentive and very pleasant. Questions we had about the area and bus transportation were answered thoroughly and the students consulted with each other to assure that the answers were complete. Breakfast was great and service wonderful. The rooms are each decorated differently based on sponsoring hotel chains. Room amenities were very complete and good (sewing kit, vanity kit, coffee, tea, etc.). They even had a timer in the shower to remind you to conserve water!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Unique experience - would stay again - Unique experience - hotel is part of a hotel management school so the front desk, kitchen/cooking, breakfast room, and room cleaning are all run/done by students (likely overseen by other staff). Students very willing to chat with you about their work/school and are helpful to accommodate your needs (e.g. transportation info, local area) 21 rooms - all vary depending on the sponsor is (e.g. Westin, Marriott) etc. Had a recently renovated room that was great and clean with a hotpot. Breakfast included - quality varied depending on who cooked that day. Location great - hotel is an easy 8 minute walk from beach, pier and boardwalk for plenty of restaurants and activities. About a 15 min walk to the art museum. 3 blocks from hotel is a village like area with a few shops and restaurants if you don't want to venture further. Coming from The Haague downtown area - best bus stop is Harstenhoekplein (Bus #22 or #23). Walk on the same street in the opposite direction the bus is going (next stop Kurhaus). It's about 3 long blocks - after the gated enclosed parking lot make a left and an immediate left for the elevator up to the lobby. Received many wrong directions from internet and people. Note - bus does not start on Sunday until 8 am so early flights from Schipol would require a taxi to the train station. Room does not have A/C but large windows open. Wifi was good. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Kudos to the students who work so hard.
