Het Paleis

I stayed at this hotel that is part of a former university complex, specifically where the chemistry lab used to be. This unique setting added a lot of character to my stay. The hotel offers about ten rooms on the first floor, accessible via a patio and an outdoor staircase. There is a small communal lounge and a kitchenette with a microwave, which I found very convenient. My room was creatively decorated, quite small but very high, and had everything I needed, including a desk for work. The lounge also provided a nice alternative workspace. The WiFi was reliable, which is always a plus. There is no reception desk, and check-in is done through the Brasserie on the ground floor until 4:30 PM, which can be inconvenient. I didn't try the phone check-in option. Overall, my stay was pleasant.
