I found the hotel to be centrally located in the heart of Punda, which was convenient for exploring the city. However, the service was quite unsettling as I experienced an unexpected intrusion into my room demanding immediate payment. The rooms were basic and not as appealing as portrayed in the photos. Despite the location being a major plus, it barely made up for the overall inadequacies of the stay.

The hotel is hidden around a corner, but the rooms are small, very clean, and well decorated. The service was a mix of being treated like a criminal by one staff member and encountering friendly and helpful service from others. The location is perfect, although it barely makes up for other unpleasant experiences. Dining offers a typical European breakfast, but with inconsistent service. The facilities are adequate but lack basic training in service.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative. The location was superb, right in the heart of Willemstad and close to all the shopping centers, making it very convenient. However, the service was quite disappointing as the staff seemed untrained and not interested in providing basic service. The rooms, similar to private rooms in a youth hostel, were basic but had a private bathroom. The dining experience was only free for non-Booking guests and was quite basic.

The youth hostel had its ups and downs. It was not what I expected with rooms hidden away and too bright at night, but the service was a mix of unpleasant and friendly. Its location was super convenient for exploring the city, and the dining was simple yet satisfying.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were small but very clean and well-decorated, fitting the 3-star category. The price was reasonable, which was a plus. However, the service had its highs and lows, starting out very friendly and helpful, but turning unpleasant with an unsettling incident. The location was great, being right in the city center of Willemstad, close to shopping centers. Unfortunately, the dining options were basic and not up to par. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
