Asgard Hotel

Upon arrival, my partner and I were upgraded for free. The receptionist was very kind and explained all the features of the hotel thoroughly, including the fact that on our departure date, the route back to the train may be changed due to a local marathon. I appreciated this above and beyond information. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the price was very reasonable for what was received.

While the stay was exceptional, I decided to opt-in for the breakfast addition. I found that the variety was lacking for a typical hotel breakfast, although the items present at breakfast were homemade (Banana Bread, Bread Loaf, etc), and I believe that is where the value stems from. The homemade items were delicious, though. There is a natural light skylight in our 3rd-floor room, which made going to bed difficult due to the lack of a way to control the light in the room.

The room was very clean, as was the shower. It was modern and functionally. there was no noise from outside. We choose not to avail of the breakfast as we had other plans

Having sockets in the wall that allow you to plug in your phone without using a plug. This is standard in Ireland but it does not yet seem to have reached the Neatherlands.

Excellent location, 5 min walk from train station, 10 min to anywhere in the inner city, yet still in a quiet side street. Very clean and friendly staff, good WiFi. Breakfast selection was rather basic, but quality was excellent and the fresh fruit was nice.

In the first night, my room was freezing. It was maybe unusually cold for the time of year, but for that price, this shouldn't mean I have to be cold in my room. Heating wasn't working and AC settings didn't change anything. Upon mentioning this to the staff the next morning, the heating was switched on. Also, it's nice that they kept the historic windows of the building, but as a result they seem not very well insulated. The shower head is of the fixed wall-mounted type. I realize this may be personal preference, but for me a reason to stay elsewhere next time.

Location close to downtown

Parking is a disaster. Hotel looks worn and tired. Doors are broken, showers barely functioning. Window shades from fabric just plain dirty.
