Overall was good. Great staff, very helpful for giving directions how to get around the area. Room was clean and comfortable. Nice clean modern glass shower, good water pressure and hot water. Breakfast was also delicious.Staff spoke fairly good english.
Few things to improve, especially in terms of advertisement: There is no bar. They have local beer in a fridge. Restaurant, yes but only for breakfast.
2 problems we encountered. First, there is no elevator. Considering that you have to climb equivalent of 1 floor to access hotel lobby, we were on 3rd floor (there is 1-2-3...). Let's say we were happy not to be on 5th floor. We kind of made sure we did not forget anything in the room before going out... (make sure to ask for 1st floor if you are not in the best shape or with kids!!!). Second issue we had was the new night employee at front desk.... not one word of english... we needed soap (yes we had when we came in, bit hotel soaps being what they are, after we both took 2 showers...no more....). Employee finally understood after about 5 minutes of sign language, to finally not providing with only answer :tomorrow.. that left us bitter. Since a am a compromising person, asked front desk following day to contact manager and ask for a free late check out at 3pm since our train was at 5 and they agreed.
I would return to Waterland (on first floor lol), it was well located near many restaurants, convenience, other hotels, coffee shops etc.
