Instead of closed cupboards, Ibis Den Haag City Centre opted for an open concept wardrobe. It was daintily placed at the corner of the room as you walk in and you'll find a small safe hidden within. Several removable hangers were available for use and our thick jackets were very thankful for that. This is also where you'll find the extra pillow (which I had mentioned earlier) in your room.

The room came with an attached bathroom that was very brightly lit and I cannot be more thankful for that. Dim washrooms are the bane of my existence, and I also liked that they opted for glass doors for the shower area instead of a shower curtain. The hotel provides the basics like towels and a 3-in-1 shower, shampoo, and face wash soap but lacks amenities like dental kits. That said, toothbrushes are available for purchase at the lobby or you could always visit the supermarkets nearby for a set. 

My only qualm was that the shower head was set really, REALLY high up - which I would understand because Dutch locals can be quite tall. Unfortunately, I wish the housekeeping team at Ibis would bear in mind that not all guests would be as tall because I had a tough time trying to bring the shower head down just to get a shower. I do, however give props to the strong water pressure that helped alleviate all the tiredness of walking around Den Haag.

With that said, our stay at the Ibis Den Haag City Centre Hotel was a pleasant one overall. Given that we were traveling during such crucial times, it's worth noting that hygiene was really important at the hotel. We were reminded time and time again to keep our masks on around public areas like the lobby and the hallway and hand sanitizers were provided around lifts and entrance points. 

Location wise, the hotel truly lives up to its name as it really is in the City Centre. It's set behind the high traffic area of Grote Markt but is quiet enough so you can rest easy at night. The Grote Markt metro station is only about 3 minutes away and you're surrounded by eateries and even an Asian supermarket just around the corner. Do note though that there are several Ibis Hotels around the area including the Ibis Styles Den Haag City Centre, so it's easier to get them both mixed up.

We were mildly sad to have to leave during our check-out, but really that's how we feel during most staycations. My other half and I both agreed that the hotel was a good pick and we may consider staying again if we decided to put up the night at Den Haag again. Or maybe we'll try another hotel - I mean, who knows now that I've decided to breathe life into my Staycay Series again? ;)
