“The hotel struck me as a place where the charm of a bygone industrial era meets a commitment to sustainability, most notably with on-site organic gardens; spacious tower rooms provide excellent views, while ground-level rooms offer patios with direct garden access. The proximity to Dordrecht's historic center makes it appealing, though a taxi is needed, in my opinion. It's a creative, delightful place.”
