We stayed here for the third time in 2 years spending a leisure trip with family. I really liked the beautiful view on the canal oude maas.

Just about everything about this hotel is perfect. The rooms are big - try for Number 28 - the food could not be better, the Spa and swimming pool are perfect and even when the weather is bad you can watch the barges and ships passing on the canal.

Our business guests typically stay at Ara and they have always been satisfied. We also organised our annual dealer meeting here and I can highly recommend Ara. The location is very nice (at the river).

Great breakfasts, delicious bread, eggs and bacon fried to order, loads of fresh fruit too. Restaurant serves very tasty food, in... More

We had a very friendly welcome from the staff, who upgraded us to a canal view room. We had booked a package for 3 nights including breakfast, and two nights dinner. It would have been rather expensive otherwise. As we were unable to make breakfast on one of the mornings and we had an early business trip, they kindly arranged... More
