"Very nice hotel location near train station in Delft. Hotel was clean and staff was very friendly. Breakfast had good food options but maybe add some fruits. Overall a nice hotel."
"This was a last minute family booking and what a great choice! Decoration was a bit quirky but the kids loved it and the hidden bunk beds made it fun for them.
Breakfast in Gaia was excellent, nice and fresh. The chef remembered the kids on day 2 and came over with a little pot of chocolate for their pancakes, which was so nice. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful.
I’d come back if ever in Delft as perfectly located for the city."
