City Hotel Stadskanaal

Great hotel with nice staff who were so kind to post my pillow to my house after after forgot it.

We had to make last minute arrangements to go to Stadskanaal (from Canada) for the funeral of my aunt. Many of the staff knew my aunt and offered their condolences and good memories (she'd recently celebrated her 91st birthday there). We did not have the Dutch Vaccination certificate app - but City Hotel accepted our Canadian documentation (we tried to go to another restaurant who refused us service without it). The room was small but comfortable, with few amenities (only a soap dispenser). Very clean (this is Netherlands after all) and close to many shops in the centre of town. The staff for both hotel and restaurant was very pleasant and helpful (my Dutch isn't very good) and accommodated two extensions to our booking. The included breakfast was good - both for Dutch and international tastes (rusks with cheese and hagelslag, scrambled eggs and bacon, yogurt, cereal, fruit). The self -service coffee machine was superb (we couldn't resist seconds every day!). We also had dinner twice and although the menu selection is small, the meals were freshly prepared and delicious - highly recommended.

Fine local hotel, good for local business needs. Some aspects of the decor could benefit from redecorating and updating but overall suited our needs.
