“Nice view, atrocious hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Hotel and condo's in the same building. Upon check in most rooms do not face the ocean. Requested an ocean room and was advised that only suites had ocean view. Went ahead and took the suite for the quoted 240Euro's. Hotel allows smoking in rooms, all rooms. Hotel elevators are tediously slow and the kind that you used to see in the 80's with the doors you had to pull to open. Lobby is shared with condo owners. Service elevator is in a more prime location then guest elevators. Service elevator is more reliable then guest elevators and there is no restriction for guests using the service elevator.

Room (suite A1) had not been refurbished since the inception of the building. For some reason 2 keycards and a bulky keychain are needed. No presence of any type of climate control. No airconditioning in place. Ashtrays were in abundance. Room decorated with worn carpets, drapery and fake leather furniture. 13" TV in the living room and no TV in bedroom. Matresses were worn out and African orphans would even say: "Nah thanks". Minibar stocked with 2 bottles of water. Called reception for 2 beers and was told to pick them up myself. Checkout at 11am and by 11:15 I was reminded twice that I was still there.

I travel a lot and stay at a large variety of venues from basic surf B&B's to the Peninsula's. In 20 years of extensive travel this has been the worst stay of all stays. The building on the outside looks like an eyesore and it is even worse on the inside.

Amazing that Such a great location with such potential gets neglected and not cared for.

Stay somewhere else!

“Very good quality for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for a weekend, and we were overall pleased .The staff was generally sweet and helpful. Hotel was generally very clean and quiet., Hotel is located on the boulevard, directly by the beach. An easy walk to the center of town--where good shops and some excellent restaurants are open year round. I found this hotel to have a great quality/price ratio and i will definetely stay there again.

“Average hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2009

person found this review helpful

The hotel is good if you are visiting Zandvoort, however we were put here by our travel agent when really we wanted to be in Amsterdam. The train is close however it cost 9 euro each to get to Amsterdam and back, so wouldnt recommend if like us, the purpose of your trip is to see amsterdam and your on a budget. Also the last train back to the hotel was at 9.30pm and when we were there it didnt get dark until about 10, so this meant we didnt get to see amsterdam at night.
The Hotel is in a great location if your purpose is to see Zandvoort. Its right by the beach and when we were there it had amazing sunsets. Our room was small, but tidy and had nice views over the city. The breakfast was nice and there was a good selection, service was ok. Overall we had a good stay however was not what we had wanted.

“Great Price, Great Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 October 2008

person found this review helpful

The hotel did not get the best reviews, but it seems as though it might have been renovated recently and I was very happy with it. There was a great breakfast, nice clean updated room, big balcony overlooking the city... It was in a perfect location, across the street from Central Station, 5 minute walk to the centrum, and a couple blocks from the main beach boardwalk. Great place to stay, I would definitely recommend it.

  • Liked — Location
  • Disliked — The beds separated like many European hotels. It can be a bit frustrating.

“Definitely not 4*”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2007
1
person found this review helpful

We were booked into this hotel for a night by our travel agent. I read the bad review on tripadvisor by someone ese and I was having doubts but by husband said since it's only a night it should be ok.
Well I must say the review was quite right. The hotel advertises as four star but is nowhere near a proper four star. It is on the beach but our room overlooked the car park and I believe only apartments overlook the beach. The only extras in the room was a box of tissues. The carpet was stained and the full length mirror placed in such an awkward position that there is no way you could see your self in it. I thought tea and coffee making facilities were now de rigueur in 4* hotels, obviously i was wrong.
Luckily for us it was a short stay and the pretty village/town of zandervoort offered a good escape from the room. I would not recommend it. For the same price there are sure to be better hotels. In my husband's words "this was not Best western but Worst western"

  • Liked — convenient to railway station
  • Disliked — not value for money
