Reviews
Regarding the noise, once I closed all the windows, it was actually pretty quiet, so no major issue there. However, the view is purely a road with no scenery, which is a big drawback. Also, cars can't drive right up to the hotel entrance, and dragging luggage over the cobblestone streets is quite annoying.
However, the hotel hosts a restaurant called Olden 1772, which plays music until 1:00 a.m. This was particularly problematic on Friday and Saturday nights, as the music volume was extremely high and made it almost impossible for me to sleep—especially since my room was located next to the glass door leading to the stairs.
Although I always closed the glass door to reduce the noise, guests frequently came and went and left it open, as there was no sign asking them to keep it closed. After two nights, I requested a room change, but I was told the hotel was fully booked. This turned out not to be true, as I would have been able to book another room online myself. I was also informed that the hotel website contains a warning about the music noise, which I could not find—neither before my stay nor afterwards.
In addition, upon check‑in I was asked to pay in advance but did not receive an invoice. I was told I would receive it at check‑out. To be on the safe side, I sent an email regarding the invoice the day before departure. At check‑out, no invoice was prepared, and I was told it would be sent later that day via email or WhatsApp. Despite having paid three days earlier, I still have not received any invoice.
I would not recommend this five‑star hotel. While the property is attractive and the restaurant offers good food and a nice atmosphere, my overall experience as a guest—especially at this price point—did not make me feel welcome or taken seriously.
This is, of course, my personal experience and point of view—others may judge differently.
The restaurant itself is absolutely astonishing — a place full of charm and elegance that makes every moment feel special. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and enjoyed by every single guest in our group.
From the beginning, the reservation process was smooth and easy. The team made a genuine effort to accommodate us and ensure that everything was perfect for such a large party. All the staff were exceptionally kind, attentive, and welcoming — their professionalism and warmth made a real difference.
I would highly recommend Olden 1772 not only for individual visitors but also for groups looking for an unforgettable dining experience in a truly unique setting.
