The Hollander is in a great location central to many things in downtown St. Pete. The front desk staff is wonderful! The restaurant and coffee shop was great and is a local favorite. There is also a great veranda for people watching and relaxing. I stayed in the original building on the first floor and found it to be noisy at times. The room was a few doors down from the laundry facility and unfortunately the hum of the machinery does not drown out voices early in the morning. It seemed that it was mostly loud when the Supervisor was giving instructions, as often the orders were given from the hall to the person in with the machines. The property looks to be getting ready for renovations as the lobby was being worked on. The rooms themselves were comfortable, with some vintage like touches in prints and bright yellow headboards that were cool. The tiny bathroom was in desperate need of renovation and updating, with cheap little sink with paint peeling and old tub, etc... It was nice to have a coffee maker and small fridge in room and the ability to control the a/c unit. The property itself is clean, happy and has a great vibe about it. The restaurant offers great themes throughout the week and incentives, and is a great gathering space for guests and locals alike. I would return because the staff is great and I'd book a room in the suites building instead, which I was told was more current.
