't Stadhuys Grote Markt

One of the oddest hotel experiences I've had. First the good news: the location is amazing; smack dab in the middle of the old town right around the corner from the cathedral. Such a beautiful area. Tons of bars, restaurants and shops everywhere. The room was great; really comfortable, great view of the town square; comfortable bed, updated bathroom. There was a full kitchen as well, but it seems they charge you 25 euros to use it, which I don't get. There's also a lift, which is super convenient. Now the odd part: the address of the hotel is actually the address of a pub. Totally confusing, I went into the pub, the bartender looked at me and said, "you're looking for the hotel, right?" The deal is, the MAIN hotel is a 10 minute walk from where they put you. This means, when you arrive at the address (the pub) you have to call the hotel. They send someone to pick you up, then you have to walk the 10 minutes (with your luggage) register, then walk back. I didn't have a phone, so luckily the bartender called for me. BUT, if you need anything, or god forbid you have an emergency, and don't have a phone, you're pretty much out of luck. You can't call to the front desk, because, oh, THERE IS NO FRONT DESK. Very strange. They also charge you 10 euro key deposit, so, guess what, when you check out, you have to walk BACK to the main hotel to turn in the key. Still, all in all, if you can put up with this, it's a great place to stay, great price too. I'd stay again.
