The hype
Travelers love the location near Central Station and the views, but often find the breakfast quality underwhelming.
Residence Inn By Marriott The Hague
$150-250/ night
Book this if You need a full kitchen and apartment vibes in the heart of The Hague's government district without the luxury hotel markup.
Why People Love It
- Floor-to-ceiling windows on high floors (9+) offer sweeping city views
- Full kitchenettes in every room make long stays actually livable
- Connected to the Moxy hotel, giving you access to a lively bar and social vibe
Quick Take: A high-rise dorm for grown-ups that nails the practicalities but relies on its cooler neighbor (Moxy) for personality.
Reviewed by @alicia_katharina: I loved working from this room—the city view from the desk kept me motivated all day. The modern design feels fresh, and ending the night by the lobby fireplace was the perfect way to unwind. It’s a solid choice if you want comfort and style in The Hague.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'free breakfast' often features powdered eggs and overcrowding that makes you want to cook in your own room instead.
- You are a business traveler on a per diem who needs to cook
- You want to be 5 minutes from Den Haag Centraal
- You appreciate a 24/7 gym that's actually open
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable, though long-stay guests sometimes report missed scheduled cleans.
- Bathroom hygiene: Visually clean, but persistent reports of 'drain smells' in showers suggest plumbing maintenance issues.
- Maintenance: Modern and new-feeling, though some wear on laminate floors and loose fixtures reported.
- Linens & towels: Standard Marriott white linens; clean but nothing plush. Towels can feel a bit thin.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like Moxy's signature perfume (sweet/musky); rooms are neutral unless the drain issue is present.

- Housekeeping is not daily by default for short stays; verify schedule at check-in
What to pack
- Your own pillow if you need neck support (hotel ones are marshmallow-soft)

Room Genie
Best picks
- Corner Studios on floors 12+ for dual-aspect city views
- Loft Suites on the top floor for maximum space and 'penthouse' feel
Rooms to avoid
- Rooms near the elevator bank (audible dings)
- Lower floor rooms (9th floor) facing the busy intersection if you're sensitive to siren noise
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would appreciate a room on the highest possible floor, away from the elevators. If available, a corner studio with a city view would be ideal.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is breakfast actually free?
Yes, a hot buffet is included, but quality is 'cafeteria grade' (powdered eggs) and the space gets overcrowded.
Can I bring my dog?
NO. This is one of the few Residence Inns that strictly prohibits pets. Do not attempt to sneak one in.
Is there a pool?
No, there is no pool. There is a 24-hour fitness center, but no swimming facilities.
How far is the train station?
It is a 5-7 minute flat walk to Den Haag Centraal. Very convenient.
Do the windows open?
Yes, most windows tilt open slightly for fresh air, which is a nice bonus for a high-rise.
Is there a washing machine?
There is a communal laundry room (guests love this), but machines are not inside the individual studios.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and walk 5 mins to 'Bartine' for excellent coffee and sourdough toast.
- ✨
The Moxy bar downstairs has a happy hour and is much livelier than your room—use it as your living room.
- ✨
The 'Grab n Go' market is overpriced; there is an Albert Heijn supermarket inside the nearby New Babylon mall (5 min walk).
5 things to know before you go
💡The elevators can be slow during morning rush hour because they serve both hotels.
💡The dishwasher tablets provided are often stingy (usually just one)—ask for more at check-in.
💡The 'City View' can sometimes just be a view of the office building across the street if you aren't high enough.
💡The bathroom drains have a tendency to smell musty if not run regularly (run the water immediately upon entry).
💡You can cast your own Netflix/YouTube to the TV, which is a huge plus for long stays.
