By Friso Den Haag - Scheveningen

Our stay at Hotel by Friso was exceptional in every respect. We stayed in Suite No. 15 on the raised ground floor – a stylishly designed, light-filled apartment with approximately three-meter-high ceilings, expansive windows, and a direct view of the lake. The suite is generously divided into three separate areas: An open-plan living and dining space with a high-end designer kitchen (including Nespresso machine, induction glass-ceramic cooktop, refrigerator with freezer compartment, full set of cookware and cleaning supplies), a separate, bright sleeping area, and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower. Noteworthy are the extensive storage options thanks to multiple built-in wardrobes and a dedicated dressing section with a safe – ideal for extended stays. The suite is superbly equipped: comfortable beds, washer-dryer combo, iron and ironing board, vacuum cleaner, dishwasher, and elegant dining areas both inside and on the quiet, furnished terrace – where we often enjoyed breakfast. The entire layout is well thought out, design-focused, and completely soundproof. There are no sources of noise – offering perfect conditions for peace, privacy, and relaxation. This accommodation is not only suitable for short getaways but also ideally suited for longer, self-sufficient stays. If you value space, individuality, and refined aesthetics, this is the right place for you. The hotel is located in a quiet, upscale villa district. The lake borders directly on the property and offers plenty of room to roam – a clear advantage for families with children. Although the hotel is not explicitly targeted at families, children were warmly welcomed. For us – as a family of five – it was the perfect combination of style, comfort, and family-friendliness. The location is excellent: the beach is about a 15-minute walk away, and there is a tram stop right in front of the house. A grocery store is approximately 600 meters away. On-site parking is available – SUV drivers should be prepared for a tight maneuver. A special highlight was the personal check-out by the owner, who kindly inquired about our satisfaction and shared valuable travel tips. Conclusion: A true insider tip for discerning travelers – modern, quiet, impeccably clean, and thoughtfully designed. For those seeking a refined retreat away from the mainstream, this is a top choice. Highly recommended.
