Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus The Hague Scheveningen - Hague

The hotel has a majestic, historical appearance. It is clean with good services, but does not rank 5 star by any means.

From a very warm welcome, throughout my stay the attentiveness of the staff made me smile. (No mean feat that ...) Even though I arrived way too early for checking in my room was ready. Tickets which had been forwarded to the hotel for me some time earlier were waiting for me in the room. From the sea view from my room to the chandeliers in the ballroom and food with delicious wines on the outside terraces, everything sparkled. My stay was short but very memorable.

There were so many great things about this hotel, and then some really odd ones. I was very pleased to find myself in a corner room. Opening the windows, the ocean breeze came in, and the sound of seagulls made me smile. A free mini bar is a wonderful thing for a night cap, and the hotel had some really great old world charm. But there were odd things. The biggest was the bathtub. It seemed like it had been raised about 4 inches (renovations?) so climbing in & out was a bit precarious. They really should put a bar near the edge for stability, or at least stickers in the tub for traction. The A/C did not work in the room, which was an issue when the bar on the boardwalk was blasting music until 2 or 3 in the morning. Plus, this is a busy area. Even without the bar's music, there was always noise so it would have been nice to be able to close the windows & have a cool room. And, there is no ice machine & you have to call down for it. Which I don't mind, except it took about 2 hours to get it delivered. (And they expected a tip.) Back on the plus side, the restaurant (Waves) was very tasty, the prices were what I'd expect, & the staff was very friendly. However, the service was very slow. I am all for relaxed dining, but I waited about 1/2 hour between my soup & main course. And waiting to get the check took a while as well. I would stay here again if I got the same rate (low). The location was great - trams/buses & the beach super close!!

Stunning hotel in fantastic location overlooking the beach. Many restaurants and bars close by. Breakfast on terrace overlooking beach a bonus. Very pricey car park next door to hotel so if able to park elsewhere do so!

Hotel location is good no doubt, I stayed in a standard room which was too expensive for the amount they have charged me, I will never go there for the amount of money they charge. I booked under impression that it will have excellent facilities for that amount but was very disappointed.
