I stayed here after reading reviews before booking. Previously I use to stay at the Du Coomerce next door but after reading bad reviews decided to give the Doelan a go. Even before my stay the staff were so helpful with booking my room and nothing was too much trouble. On arrival I was greeted with such a warm friendly and helpful young lady.
Yes, the hotel is old so you dont expect all modern things, which I didnt relly want anyway. The room was clean, tidy and had everything I needed. There isnt any coffee or tea making facilities but understand that is quite common in Holland. I bought a cheap kettle and problem was solved. The communal areas were lovely and comfortable and the breakfast buffet was delicious.
All the staff were really helpful and they all looked so happy. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and will definately stay there on my next trip.
To anyone who does go there, say hello to Coco for me!!
p.s. The Du Commerce was reviewed by Dutch TV last week when I was at the Doelen and it got a bad report. Be warned anyone who is thinking of staying at the Du Commerce!!
