Hotels near Dutch Boat Tours, Zaandam

My stay at this hotel was a nightmarish experience from start to finish. The level of cleanliness and hygiene was shockingly subpar. The sheets on my bed were clearly not washed, the room hadn't seen the likes of a vacuum cleaner in ages, and to top it off, there were no basic toiletries provided in the bathroom. Instead, I found remnants of someone else's body wash, a truly repulsive discovery that added to the overall sense of neglect. As if the state of the room itself wasn't bad enough, there wasn't even a bin in the room, and the stench that hung in the air was nothing short of atrocious. In our desperate attempt to salvage the situation, we made our way downstairs to seek assistance from the front desk, but our wait for the receptionist to show up only added to the frustration. Upon finally receiving another room, my hopes were quickly dashed, as it turned out to be in even worse condition than the first. The disappointment was palpable, and it was abundantly clear that the hotel's staff lacked the basic courtesy and professionalism that one would expect from any accommodation provider. To make matters even more disheartening, it appears that a significant number of the positive reviews I'd seen before booking this hotel are likely fake, which only deepens my sense of betrayal. In the end, we were left with no other choice but to cut our losses and abandon our reservation. It was an utterly repulsive experience that deserves nothing less than a 0 out of 10 rating, and I would strongly caution anyone considering a stay here to think twice and explore alternative lodging options.

The overall service was amazing. The lack of crib when we arrived was a little let down but staff went above and beyond. We had 2 cribs at 9 am in the morning, best service from the staff. Friendly staff and great hotel

Our bed were changed from King size to 2 single beds. The single beds is terrible, but bed frame like not fit, when u make a body turn, the bed will move also. And my partner feel the bed is not clean enough. The room is big but feel very empty. TV is not working the first few days, after we make ask then they change new remote, then everything is fine. Love the body shampoo smell. Location is close to Sloterdik station. very convenient to take train,tram,bus,metro. It is not as busy as Centraal, but not many options of food surrounding. Spar is the convenient shop we must pass by everynight we come back to hotel. U can get food and drinks there. We get salad & fruits before heading to hotel everynight.

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 hotel is located on the outskirts of Haarlem, a good 35-minute walk to the central square. There is very little around it in terms of shops or cafes or restaurants. So calling it ”Haarlem City” is a bit of a stretch! It is a 12-minute walk (through a nice residential area) to Bloemendaal train station, which makes it quite easy to get to Amsterdam. Haarlem's main train station is about a 25-minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are comfortable and good size. But (and this is a big but!) the hotel was built right next to a big sports centre and if your room faces north it will block your window as it is literally in front of it. This is a really poor design choice, it makes affected rooms feel claustrophobic. This is something the hotel should make clear at the time of booking. Parking in front of the hotel costs 7.5 Euros per night. Given its non-central location, you would expect parking to be free. So mixed feelings overall. Nice and spacious rooms, but the issues I mentioned above detract from the overall experience and value for money.

We stayed at this hotel as a large group, 28 people. On arrival we were met by friendly and helpful staff who checked us in without any issues. The bedrooms were modern clean and spacious. The facilities in the rooms were excellent with coffee machine, fridge and large TV. The buffet breakfast had a large selection of cooked breakfast items, cold meats and cheese, and pastries. The hotel was located near bus stops where you travel to Vandroot for the beach or Amsterdam for onward travel. There is also a large supermarket nearby, 5 min walk, which makes this an ideal place to stay to enjoy Haarlem. I will return with my family the next time.

Good stay but the shuttle was very disorganised and the bus driver was rude and unhelpful explaining the stops the shuttle was makibg. This wasn't helped by the fact that 2 of the hotels are called Of us Amsterdam airport and have a similar address on the website. The only distinguishing feature being the word budget. Overall good and was able to get in to Amsterdam for the evening whilst being close to the airport.

Frontdesk female at check in 19:45 seemed a bit annoyed by something and very busy. Got two room cards, but apparently non of them were working. Got two new cards again and at least one was working. Elevator needed card access and also a door before the corridor before room needed access card, first time seen this. Safety ++ Room was Okey more or less. Mirror in room was badly broken. Sliding window not possible to lock, push pin broken. Room AC fan had a very annoying sound, but that I can easily live with. Bathroom was very good and large. TV, very good international selection to choose from. WIFI was 30-40 Mbit so easy to stream all possible media. Due to early check-out 05:30 then hotel was able to provide a early morning breakfast pickup bag @ 05:00. That was a very nice breakfast option to provide, does require a frontdesk request before 24:00. Generally a good average hotel for business travellers. Also free frequent shuttle transport from/to airport.
