Be careful: this hotel, actually, does not offer car parking. And, more than that, the lady at the reception is asking you if you have made a reservation for parking - of course, you cannot do something like that. 2 nights reservation, I had to leave after one night. Not recommended, better find another hotel.

Worst ever”

Booked a hotel room with this institution via Agoda. When I arrived at the site, they wanted to put me in a dormitory room with three other people instead of the room to myself that I booked and paid for. They said if I had an issue with this decision, I’d have to take it up with Agoda, while Agoda - after a long but unproductive conversation - said it was lying with a&o as they were the ones that were not willing to assign me the type of accommodation I booked. The receptionist gentleman at a&o was extremely unfriendly right from the beginning, the other lady was friendlier at first but when it was clear that I was not gonna let it slide she became very unfriendly, even hostile as well. After I showed her that my booking confirmation showed that I booked a room not a dormitory bed, I also reproduced the whole procedure right before her eyes. (She insisted I must have booked a dorm bed, not a room, so I proved her that it wasn’t the case.) She wouldn’t have it and basically told me that it was not her problem. When I told her that unlike me, she did work there and therefore it was very much her problem and I did not care how she sorted it out but I did want it sorted out, she became verbally abusive and threatened to call the police on me. Finally she put me on the phone with their Berlin centre, where a very unfriendly gentleman who called himself “Vegan” and refused to give me his name, hit the same abusive tone and continued the verbal barrage against me. I left traumatised and being cheated out of my money and I still couldn’t believe the way I was abused and treated, let alone being threatened with the police. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemies.

It's just outside the train station, which is very convenient for transit hotel. Being outside the train station, it can be quite noisy, especially when windows are opened in summer. The room is rather small compared to other A&O hostel I stayed before. Stayed for 1 night, so it was acceptable.

Decent accommodation near the train station”

Closeness to the train station, cleanliness, price

The hostel is literally near the train station (a few steps on your left, after getting out of the station) and even so, you can hardly hear anything from the railroad. The area is safe and pretty close to the city center. Also there is a bus stop in front of the train station, including bus 50 which takes to Maastricht. The building is quite new and, besides the fact that it may look like a hospital, the rooms are ok. Mine was a single and it had the minimum good enough to make you feel comfortable for this type of accommodation: good size, cleanliness, comfortable bed, private bathroom. Of course a fridge and coffee/tea amenities would have been nice, but... it is a hostel after all, right? The only thing I didn't like was the fact that the receptionist didn't seem to notice I had paid for the room when I booked it, so he asked me for paying it again. After a while and a couple of phone calls he realized I was right.
