Frequently asked questions
We understand that a stay can raise quite a few questions. We have listed the most frequently asked questions below. If your question is not listed, please email us at [email protected].
My reservation
You certainly can. Our rates are flexible and with our superflex rate you can always cancel for free. On the day of arrival we will hold the room for you until 18:00 pm. To guarantee your booking, we ask you to provide your credit card details through the online check-in. Only in case of no-show we can charge the 100% cancellation fee. If you have a non-refundable rate and have already paid, cancellation is unfortunately not possible.If you have made a reservation through a booking channel (Expedia, Booking.com etc) you have to communicate your modification or cancellation through the certain channel. We also apply flexible conditions there, but you can always check the right policies with the relevant booking channel.
No, the flexible rate does not have to be paid in advance. The non refundable rate, which will become available in a few months, must be paid in advance.

Both hotels are just steps away from each other. Facilities such as the reception, Living and FoodBar are all located in the GuestHouse Hotel. So check-in for both hotels can be done at the GuestHouse Hotel. In Hotel de Kroon we only have hotel rooms, guests staying in Hotel de Kroon may of course use all facilities in the GuestHouse Hotel. In general, Hotel de Kroon is usually cheaper than GuestHouse Hotel. In Hotel de Kroon we have 14 ‘newer rooms’ our Economy Room Deluxe, these are similar to our BunkHouse Room 4 rooms in the GuestHouse Hotel, but with their own little patio garden. The other rooms are a bit older, but also a bit more economical, these are located on the first floor and only accessible by stairs.
