Home at the Hague

Advantages: very clean, value for money, excellent
Disadvantages: too far from Amsterdam

...Now not taking into account my 12hour journey on coach to the Hague, when we arrived at the Golden Tulip, for the price we had paid we were expecting a travel lodge of some kind, however much to our surprise the hotel looked very well presented with all glass windows at the front, looking into an exceptional reception area. The reception had all marble floors, to the right of you you had a bar with a well spacious lounge area and to the right 4 lifts to all floors. Considering there was a coach load of us, reception were very firendly and very quick in getting us all checked in and allocated to our rooms. All the lifts worked to all floors and upon entering the room, it was very bright, spacious, with a king sized bed and everything that you required for your stay, hairdryer, television with sky, tea and coffe making facilities...

Review of The Hague (Netherlands)

Ibis hotel centre, The Hague, The Netherlands

Advantages: Centre of city, excellent location, bars, restaurants, sightseeing, transport
Disadvantages: Some small rooms, could be noisy near busy road

...I have lived in The Hague for about 2 years now. Dutch name 'Den Haag'. Recently I stayed a night in the Ibis hotel, checking it out for some friends who were going to stay there and visit for a week. The hotel is located in the centre of The Hague, near a busy road, lots of shops, restaurants and bars. Perfect for couples, families wanting to be close to the action. Ideal as a base for sightseeing, near old grote church, dutch parliament, ancient buiildings, galleries, tram and bus stops. You may want to request a room on other side of hotel away from road if you are a light sleeper. The hotel itself is quite modern with a large open plan bar and reception area on the ground floor. Comfortable leather seats and sofas. Lifts and stairs then go up to the restaurant and rooms. The eating area on 1st floor. I had breakfast which...

Review of Ibis Den Haag Centre, The Hague

See Holland in a Day!!

Advantages: small, good public transport
Disadvantages: not that many attractions

...Thinking about visiting The Hague? Well, let me tell you a little bit about this fair city. Having lived in Den Haag (as the locals call it) for about 4 months, this is what I discovered. Right let's get the specifics out of the way first The Hague is the third biggest city in The Netherlands (after Amsterdam and Rotterdam). It's conveniently located in between the two larger cities, which makes it an ideal place to begin your Dutch adventure. The Hague has a population of about half a million people, so it?s not a big city by world standards. In fact, as well as having a small population it?s also quite small in area. The weather Dutch weather is very similar to English weather, except it rains more! A book I have on Holland cheerfully informs me that the rainfall in Holland "averages out at less than 90 minutes a day...

Review of The Hague (Netherlands)

Give it a miss!!

Advantages: some cheap buys
Disadvantages: too much like home!

...I went on a P.O mini cruise with some friends to Holland recently, the main place of visit was The Hague, this was my first visit to Holland and after seeing amsterdamn on tv , the hague was nothing like!! It was more like one of our city's !, yes it had statues and grand buildings but the shops were just like being at home!!, C&A , M+S and of course Macdonalds!! I was looking for something different and most things I could have found at home!, it had no character at all, the only difference was Cafe Bars !!! There were plenty of little indoor markets selling cheapish stuff but, then again nothing you couldnt get at home!! This part of Holland I wouldnt visit again!...

Review of The Hague (Netherlands)

Not quite as right wing as Hague

Advantages: Makes the Tories look rational
Disadvantages: Predictable right-wing bilge

...Whilst it is certainly true the Telegraph is not quite as right wing as Hague (is that even possible, he seems to have dropped off the edge anyway) its affections remain unchanged. The Telegraph hides its thinly disguised devotion for the Conservative party and everything right wing very badly. If you want to read all the stuff that you would expect to go along with that, then this is the paper for you. The couple of times I have seen it recently (but thankfully not paid for it) it was clear that like communism, in conservatism the old ideas run deep – hang ‘em and throw away the key, return to ‘proper’ discipline, what is lovingly called ‘family values’ and the wonderful still target of ‘political correctness’ remain central to the papers philosophy. If you want predictable right...

A Tale of a City

Advantages: Great novel.
Disadvantages: None.

...Joseph O'Neill is an Irish barrister living in New York, who was brought up up in the Netherlands (according to his biographical notes) and it is this international background that informs his novel. The title may be 'Netherland' but in fact it is set in New York and London, with occasional flashbacks to the Hague, Holland. It was long listed for the Booker Prize and also featured by Richard and Judy's Book club. The protagonist, Hans Van den Broek is a Dutch banker living in New York at the time of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, and is married to Rachel, an English woman. Although Hans is not a man you might expect to take up neighbourhood cricket in New York, when he remains behind, stranded in New York when he and Rachel separate and she returns to England with their young son, for comfort he returns to his old...
