The Tower Sportshostel

I liked the location amid nature, and the rooms and common areas were clean. The coffee and beverage vending machines could use a bit more variety.

“Voor kort verblijf prima en niet duur”

The hotel is very quiet, offers free parking, and is easily reachable; without a car or bike it feels remote but wonderfully peaceful. The room is basic but fine for a short stay; the bed is very comfortable; breakfast was good. There is no toilet in the room—only a shower, but the hallway toilets are clean. If other guests make noise in the hallway, it’s very audible, so soundproofing is lacking.

“The stay had some positives, such as hot water and a tasty breakfast, but there were significant issues with cleanliness”

Hot water was always available and the breakfast tasted good, but the sheets often came dirty. If you told the housekeeper “no thanks” when she came, she wouldn’t return for days. The fire alarm kept going off randomly, and the staircases were in bad shape and smelled unpleasant.

“wenn überhaupt nochmals dann nur mit eigener Verpflegung”

The hostel’s location is fantastic—right in the middle of green and very quiet away from all streets, offering beautiful walks. Free parking in front of the door and friendly pre‑arrival communication are nice. Unfortunately, the hostel doesn’t make the most of its location; there was almost no way to do anything with other guests or even talk to them. The room was quite worn, the wood was partially splintered, the bathroom/dry‑room door wasn’t sealed, so a lot of water leaked into the room while showering. Breakfast was “habit‑forming”; there was a kind of beef brisket, the boiled eggs were ice‑cold (from the previous day’s fridge??), the pancakes were lukewarm, no maple syrup, no vegetables, only bananas, no jam/honey, no juice—unsuitable for a cycling‑focused crowd. What bothered me most was that on the first night from Friday to Saturday the alarm system went off at 12:30 am at full volume. With no staff present, I called the security number three times, which was supposedly available 24 h, but it rang three times with no response. When I went to the toilet at 4:30 am, the alarm was still sounding. It was unclear what triggered it (smoke detector??) and nobody cared. I found it frightening.

“everthing was fine”

The place is perfect for budget travelers, but they should add tomatoes to the breakfast.
