I had a pleasant stay at Dixon House in De Waterkant, enjoying its great location and friendly staff. though I noticed that the hotel could use some updated furnishings and a thorough cleaning. The spacious living room was comforting, but a bit more decoration would enhance its charm. Overall, it was a nice experience with some room for improvement.

I enjoyed my stay at Dixon House, as it is in a vibrant area with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for a positive experience. However, my room was quite noisy, being directly across from the kitchen, and the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortable at times. Overall, I would rate my experience a 7 out of 10.
Rooms

My room was airy and clean but unfortunately quite small and noisy, especially being near the kitchen. The bathroom was compact, and I struggled with the layout since the door hit the sink when fully opened. There was no safe in the room, which was concerning, and no real space to hang my clothes.
