The Duke Boutique Apartments

Everything was just fine for our short business trip, thanks.

The property is good, well maintained and in great condition. Furniture is new and adequate to a rental. Location is perfect. The only downside is that the kitchenware should be more complete in terms of itens offered, and the bedware also is not appropriate - including bed linen (it was not a linen kit but a duvet cover used as a sheet, which did not covered the whole bed futon).

We stayed here as a family of five for six nights during the 2024 Xmas holiday. We had the two one-bedroom apartments on the top floor. First, when trying to find a place to stay, the Duke people were very helpful. There wasn’t availability for our big family in any of their locations for the desired 6 nights but when I called them they asked for a day to shuffle things around and then were able to confirm the two apartments for us, The location is terrific, smack in the middle of Den Bosch city center. No noise, and easy access (although carrying luggages up 5 flights of stairs is a challenge…). The apartments themselves are good. The interior design is modern, the amenities are a bit limited but good enough for a short stay, and overall things were quite clean. Towels were available. My main recommendations to further improve the offering are: - Better pillows on the beds. I am in no way a pillow snob, but these pillows are the worst I ever slept on. Way too high / thick, hurts your neck. - For longer stays like ours (6 nights), I would expect a cleaning and fresh linnen at least once (we had none) - Minor point but a converter plug for different plug types would have been helpful. Was hard to get by during the holidays and there were none available in the apartment or the Duke hotel.
