Hotel Bintang 3 di Maassluis

We recently spent 2 nights in Maassluis while on a bike trip around Holland. I was looking for a place to spend a day off the bikes, relaxing, and I was looking for something modern in that part of Holland. We knew nothing about Maassluis but it sounded interesting to be right on the seaway into Rotterdam. And the hotel website photos looked very appealing. We were not disappointed! The hotel is in a renovated historic building; it's been open almost one year, so the property feels and looks brand new. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome, even allowing us to being our bikes into a conference room for safekeeping. We had a huge room on the second floor with a glorious view over the harbor and the seaway. We could sit in the room and see huge ships passing by, all the time. The rooms are decorated in a maritime style, blues and grays, and totally modern. Huge windows with lots of light, air conditioning that worked perfectly, very spacious with sufficient storage space, and a totally modern bath area with huge open shower. (The shower is so large that even without a door, no water runs into the rest of the space.) We even had a large outdoor patio space overlooking the harbor. A nice buffet breakfast is served in the restaurant area. The hotel location on the seaway is worth it, although it does take about 10-15 min to walk to the heart of town. It's a nice walk and a quiet one (once you cross the main road/train), so not a problem. And it's a lovely town - without hordes of tourists! We loved staying there and although we don't have much reason to go back to Maassluis, we might do so just to enjoy the hotel again.
