We booked the A-Train hotel after reading other reviews on Tripadvisor. Some of them were not favourable but the criticisms were not about anything that would bother me so I booked anyway.
We booked the "Old Master" suite which has its own little courtyard garden which we didn't actually use as we were out & about most of the time.
The room was very clean and plenty big enough for us & had a lovely en suite shower room. Despit previous comments we didn't get the floor soaked just a little spray from the water while getting washed. The bed was comfortable & there was tea/coffee making facilities as well as a TV which had English speaking channels but we barely switched it on.
The staff were friendly & helpful & as we informed them in advance of out arrival time they had the room ready for when we arrived. This is probably not possible in high season as the room will be occupied from the day before. We were allowed to leave baggage in a secure room on the day of check out too.
The hotel is perfectly placed for those arriving at the train station or as we did on a coach from Rotterdam as it is very close to the drop off point. We got off the coach & looked across the road & there it was.
It does have a train theme which I thought was very nice, if you don't like that sort of thing then you probably won't like it but it does after all make no attempt to disguise that it has a theme so no one should be surprised.
The restaurant has railway buffet type seats & decor. The food was a usual continental style breakfast & was very nice, everything was fresh & plentiful.
The problem some people have with leaving the key at reception was not a problem with us, we have had to do that in many hotel that we have visited & I actually prefer it, stops me losing it. As someone is at the reception desk all of the time there is no problem with picking up/dropping off of the key. You are given a little card to show them when collecting it.
All in all I really enjoyed my stay & the only downside was that we couldn not stay longer. I would definitely return to this hotel.
