Royal Library

No wifi at all - I asked the reception to help me connect and they said I have to go to the Central Station if I want wifi..... even though my plan is to study at the library. Also opening and closing time is very limited for anyone who needs uninterrupted time before they close down. Quite disappointing for a “royal” library - especially compare to other European libraries.

Pros: + located in center nigh central station + spacey, therefor not crowded and quiet + opening hours are feasible Cons: - the only public library in the Hague that doesn't have free, public internet available, amazing and completely non-royal'ish Since people often come to libraries for internet, I'll give -2 stars for not having internet at this library.

This library has good website. Therefore we can get information easily.

Nice place to study/read

Good for studying, quiet and everything, nice cafe in the hall, but a very awkward system for reading the library's material, which should be THE purpose of a national library... It cannot compare to other European national libraries. I am almost afraid to check their manuscript consultation policies... Also eduroam - an international WiFi system for students and scholars accessible everywhere in the world, even in China - doesn't work here.
