Disliked: Staff & service
Good central location for eating, bars and shops. Unfortunately room wasn't cleaned on one of the days. Mentioned this to staff early evening around 6pm and later when returned to hotel at 10pm when it still had not been cleaned. Staff only said they didn't know why not. Used cups left in the room for 3 days and no clean ones left when they were all used. Specifically had to ask to get them changed.

Beautiful downstairs reception and bar; great to have storage for our bikes. Super breakfast and breakfast room. Lovely to have interesting ornaments and antiques in display. A minor criticism was the lack of umbrellas to borrow as it was raining hard when we arrived.

Terrible beds, no air
The hotel is friendly, but the bar is full of drunks. The room has no air circulation, and I could feel the bed springs. Good water temp.

Exceeded our expectations
Three nights in Nieuw Minerva. Occasion: Rembrandt exhibitions in The Hague and Amterdam, with Leiden the ideal place to stay. Very friendly, quiet room (no view, but we prefer the quiet), good bed - slept like logs. Good breakfast. Nice, old Dutch style hotel going well with the Rembrandt paintings.
