Olympic Hotel

Nice stay. The mattresses are quite firm (not to my taste but I slept well, after cranking the temperature down to the minimum 16 degrees from the default 22) I stayed in the gold room, which has a king bed, separate shower and a whirlpool bath, which I really liked. TV shows terrestrial Dutch channels but I couldn't get any other stations to work, after some fiddling I got the Chromecast I'm the TV linked to my phone, which I was planning to use the whole time anyway. I had breakfast just for one day and it was fine, cereals, bread, cheese, tea, coffee, juice, bacon and eggs and having poffertjes was a nice touch i thought. No toaster though, so you had to ask someone to make that for you (however it was really pale when I got it, but not the end of the world!). My room had a GREAT view overlooking 2 football pitches and part of the stadium, nice for a sporty person to see people kicking a ball around (Which I am not but it was nice to watch of a morning). The view at night was really nice as well. Staff were friendly, rooms cleaned to a great standard each day, I used the bath each evening and when I came back at the end of the day it was always clean, with bins emptied and the bed made. My only minor quibble was that, whilst there is a kettle and a little coffee pod machine, there are only paper/cardboard cups? When I asked one of the staff for a mug, I was advised that guests used to steal them so now it's just disposable cups. A cup of tea, just ain't a cup of tea in a paper cup, so bring your own mug or pick one up here. Getting to the centre was pretty straight forward, about a 10 minute walk will get you you to the metro, 10 to 15 minutes on that and your in the heart of the action.
