Monnickendam Hotels & Accommodations

I spent one night in Monnickendam for business and was recommended this hotel by locals. I'm very familiar with The Netherlands and know the whole country, from North to South. Rather than staying in Amsterdam I preferred opting for the cosy atmosphere of a Dutch village and wasn't disappointed. The hotel hosts a one-starred Michelin restaurant, therefore I suggest to book the whole experience. Parking wise is problematic as there are roadworks that make the access to the parking quite complex to explain. But parking in this time of the year is free so just get the chance to have a stroll in the city centre. The hotel doesn't have elevator: for those who carry a hold luggage just be aware. Personnel is lovely and welcoming, very chatting and friendly. The hotel amenities are in line with the XVII Century history of the building, but for a business trip is complicated, not enough plugs in the room, lighting is not well placed, there is no space at all on the bedside table and no space for the hold luggage. There is a closet indeed, but for a couple staying I'm wondering how can fit all in. I appreciate is a historical building but a few little improvements are encouraged. I would definitely come back.

The fishing village of Volendam itself is not large and the hotel is conveniently located near the lake and the main street. There is a problem. If you arrive by car, there is a railing to enter the fishing village of Volendam, which is 1-2 kilometers from the hotel. What password is required to enter the pole, but there are no instructions at the entrance and I don't know how to enter the fishing village. The business of the fishing village is quiet and there are many fish restaurants. If you sit in a restaurant overlooking the lake, the surroundings are good, the food is quite good, and the service staff is nice.

We stayed in this hotel from August 31st to September 2nd, myself, my boyfriend and a friend of ours. We took two double rooms, small but really perfect, very clean and welcoming. In this area you are very close to the windmill area which is really worth seeing. We paid €9 per person for the buffet breakfast but it was really well stocked and personally very welcome. A few minutes' walk away is the stop to go both towards Amsterdam Center (you can easily reach it in about twenty minutes by bus) and towards the mill area. In the hotel you also have the possibility of buying the card with the which you can get around on all public transport (which in my opinion is very convenient because there is a public transport service that is exceptional to say the least and very punctual to the second). The staff was very friendly and always smiling, I found the structure in general very beautiful and very clean. We had a really great time and in my opinion this structure is underrated and deserves much more visibility than it has. It was truly an unexpected discovery and very welcome and beautiful.

With a stay at Fortuna Spinoza in Monnickendam, you'll be within a 15-minute drive of Nemo Science Museum and Markermeer.

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

The biggest advantage of this hostel is the close location to Railway Station Centraal. You just use the fairy (free of charge) over the river and walk 5 minutes. The public facility in the hostel is another big advantage. Many tables, sofas, and electricity plugs to work. The buffet breakfast has a large choice of food. The rooms have station double beds. The rooms are small and no good to work. This should be done in the public area.

Not quite sure why there are so many negative reviews calling this place unacceptable, for the price you pay you’re definitely getting your moneys worth and some. The male young receptionist was friendly at check in and guided us to our room (although he didn’t know some answers about basic questions about the area, such as he incorrectly told us the wrong time for the last trams, he was very kind but maybe the staff could be told some answers to the most common questions). The junior suite was extremely spacious, had a lovely bathroom, lots of mirrors which was nice, large bed and lots of light windows overlooking the dock. The room was fab, however like some other reviews state sometimes there was a mysterious odour, particularly on the last day, but it wasn’t unbearable. Could definitely do with some harder mattresses which would definitely improve everyone’s experience but I still slept perfectly. Location is perfect for the price, only a 14min tram away from Amsterdam Centraal. The coffee pods and machine in the room were nice but could also put some biscuits there too which would be amazing. Maybe needs a repaint of the room but it’s safe to say i’d definitely stay again

Stay away from this hotel and run as far as possible away is my advice. They took my money after over 9weeks! I booked this hotel on the 25th of May for 23-26 of June which at the time was 1month away. I cancelled immediately after booking and it was free cancellation, I cancelled because I found another hotel closer the family I was visiting. All the booking were made of booking.com on the same day. Cancellation was in fact within 10min. Anyway on the 5th August, I saw €380 deducted from my account from Bastion Hotel that was already cancelled. €380 after almost 10weeks! That is fraud! Booking.com said they cannot do anything and that property process payment, property said it say non refundable on booking which was a lie, I asked how come they are taking money after 10week, the hotel did not answer any of my emails. It is either they have employed someone that specialises in fraudulent transaction or they are just thief. Just run away from this hotel.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS TO SEE IF THEY ARE NOT TAKING UR MONEY. THEY WAITED 71 DAYS! RUN

Given the reviews, I was not keen to stay here, but thanks to Ajax v Napoli there were no others available. To sum up, this isn't a 5 star hotel by any stretch of the imagination. It is a 3 star hotel. Positives: - Location is superb - Architecturally stunning building - Large room (in my case, at least) - WiFi speeds are good. I was able to do video meetings from my room - Staff were pleasant and friendly Negatives: - Inside, the hotel is dark and in a state of disrepair - The kitchen closes early, and room service appears to not be possible. I was told that I should download Uber Eats if I wanted food after 10pm. - The room is tidy, but basic areas like around the sinks, bath, windows and TV were dirty - There is a smell of sewage that comes from the shower drain - The majority of channels on the TV are unavailable - There is no air conditioning. I had 2 tower fans in my room, and I had to use them both just to stay cool - No help with luggage, not that I couldn't manage myself - You get a bottle of water on the table when you check in. I had some the first night because it was so hot in the room. The second night when I was working late, I turned to open my fresh bottle. Nope! Same half empty bottle, had just been moved back to the table again. This is supposed to be a 5 star hotel! Stay somewhere else. A few weeks earlier, I stayed in the Sofitel Legend. THAT is a 5 star hotel.

The Flipper hotel was an ideal location however closer would have saved a tram trip to Downtown Amsterdam. The professionalism competency of all staff was exceptional. The cleanliness was above standard and a big priority for me regarding my stay. The cost was good considering the global cost of living crisis. I would highly recommend Hotel Flipper to any friends, family in Ireland. Much gratitude
