IJlst Trip

We stayed in the quadruple room, which was a large room with proper beds rather than sofa beds. Liked the wooden floors. Bathroom basic with small towels but fine for a two night stay. Staff were extremely helpful in assisting me pre-booking the car park. Great location for staying in the city.

I liked the art deco design throughout the hotel. The studio room had a very large shower area so the floor doesn’t get wet in the rest of the bathroom. There was kitchenette area plus and iron and ironing board.

My stay in the Presidential Suite at Hotel & Spa Savarin was an absolute dream. The highlight of the entire experience was the magnificent private terrace, which provided the perfect setting to relax and enjoy the beautiful skylight views. The suite itself was incredibly spacious, elegant, and spotlessly clean. Even without using the spa or restaurant facilities, the sheer comfort, luxury, and privacy of the room made this an unforgettable stay. I highly recommend upgrading to this suite for a truly elevated experience!

While the hotel and staff were great, the parking situation was terrible. The hotel parking is not directly across from the hotel, rather you have to turn onto a tiny lane that originally was for carriages, It was quite challenging. It is overall awkward because you have to pick-up a remote to open the gate (another challenging turn) and then return the remote. There is nowhere to park whilst doing the "exchange", especially when you have picked up the car, are in the tiny narrow entry-way and across from the hotel. It is a busy busy area and you have to turn off your car and lock it and then run across the street to return the remote while opening the hotel door with digital key (hopefully you grabbed your phone during this time). People were irritated as the lane is so narrow, they couldn't get through while I carried out the returning of the remote. I despised the digital key as once my phone was almost dead and I was frantic to get to the hotel to unlock the door before my phone died. Again, hotel and staff are lovely, but.... never again for me with a car! (and directions were not helpful/accurate regarding on-site parking.
