I was on vacation, visiting my daughter and son-in-law who live in Zwolle. We had a little trouble finding the parking, but the rooms were very nice. The TV wasn't working in their room and they were immediately transferred to another room, right across the hall. They took advantage of the nearby shopping while I enjoyed the quiet room and took pictures of the bathroom to show my friends and family in the United States when I got home! When they returned from shopping we went to the lounge to relax, it was quiet and peaceful. Other than there was quite a line at check out time and at first only one girl to handle the crowd, more help arrived and things moved fairly smoothly. All in all, I would recommend the Grand Winston Hotel to everyone.

This hotel is famous for being the hotel used by Shell staff travelling on business, as it is directly opposite the Shell HQ. But even now many Shell people are opting to stay in hotels in the city centre and commute in as they are fed up with this quirky hotel. Location for the non-business guest is not great- Rijswijk is a bit miserable with only a few shops and restuarants near by, although a train or tram journey into The Hague isn't too far. I found the hotel reception staff very friendly and helpful, but the same could not be said for some of the restuarant and bar staff. Quite rude at times.

Pros:
Good sized rooms
Comfortable bed
Quality of food at dinner and breakfast was quite good

Cons:
Glass-walled bathrooms makes staying with a partner awkward and unpleasant
No WiFi - cannot believe a modern hotel these days with no wifi!!
Very poorly lit rooms
Also the lighting and atmosphere in the bar and restaurant area is horrible

I find it a pity as this is such a large, modern and clean hotel with nice big bedrooms. If only they could change the depressing lighting and decor and add some WiFi, it could actually be quite good.

This is a fairly new hotel located very close to Rijswijk railway station and tram stop. From either you can explore the surrounding area, which is a good thing as Rijswijk is not what you would call scenic. There is a large shopping mall about 5 minutes walk away and a couple of restaurants but not much else. I recommend taking the train to the Hague as it's cheap and only takes about 10 minutes. The hotel itself has a huge picture of Churchill in Reception, which is quite impressive. On the first floor you'll find the bar area - just a few seats and tables and also the restaurant. The food is OK but the portions are quite small and it's pretty expensive (around £25 for a steak). Breakfast is buffet style and is taken in a large room something akin to a school dining hall - long rows of tables. The breakfast itself is very Dutch, with lots of bread, cheese and sliced meats. Not very inspiring.There is also the option to have hard or soft boiled eggs or, if you can wait a couple of minutes, the chef will cook you an omelette. The rooms are well sized and the beds comfortable but the main feature has to be the bathroom - it has glass walls !! Fortunately I've never had to share with anyone ! Oil company Shell fill this place most of the time as their training centre is only a couple of minutes walk away, and that's why I stay there. Unfortunately there is no free wi-fi so it loses a few points from the business perspective.

This hotel's female reception is too bad. They treat customers with contempt. I'll not come to this hotel again.
