5This must be at least my 8th stay at the Crystal over a 4-5 year period.
My first time there I thought it was a fine but extremely basic hotel with a very good staff. Over the years they have gotten better. New ownership on a mission.
And each and every trip since the new owners took over I have seen steady improvements.
New upscale coffee machine for expresso, etc.
New safes in the room.
New paint.
A very cheap (3 euro for 2 hours) but modern new computer in the breakfast room.
All the while they have kept their great staff and their great location.
This may be as quiet a hotel as I have ever stayed in. At least right at the top for a budget hotel.
Its still a fairly basic hotel. So if you want a lift and new and modern rooms you might want to look elsewhere.
If you are after quiet, location, quality, a traditional dutch breakfast, value, and a moderate price------the Crystal should at least get some consideration.
The absolute best thing about the hotel? Jasna and the rest of the staff.
