Alexander hotel is a nice place to stay. Rooms a clean and spacious looking more like North American rooms than Europe, breakfast buffet was fully stocked even had eggs and bacon. Staff were polite and helpful. For us a nice break from visiting Holland. Only thing would be the free parking it is free but we got there on the tail end of a holiday weekend in Holland and had to wait for somebody to leave so I would have a spot. Town is great for walking on the beach and just taking it easy and at the right time very close to all the flower fields so great for car ride or bike.

My husband stayed at this hotel on a business trip and I accompanied him to do some shopping and relax a bit on the beach of Noordwijk. The location is simply perfect. The sea, but also the shops are at walking distance and you can park your car for free.

The hotel staff is very friendly and professional. The room was tidy en spacious and even had a balcony from which we could see the sea shore. I think that if you are staying here outside the holiday season, you probably experience more of a "business" atmosfere than during summer, but that is alright.

Breakfast was excellent. More than enough choice in drinks, types of bread and fruit. Also the hotel has good internet acces (one computer you can us for free and payed access in the whole building), which is very convenient for people who have to do some work work after Dutch office hours.

First impressions of this place from the photos on their website and the outside of the hotel were quite good, but this turned out to be a misleading impression of what was to follow. Presumably since I was travelling alone on business, I was allocated a single room. This turned out to be probably the smallest hotel room I've ever seen, very reminiscent of a study-bedroom in a student hall of residence.

All the furniture (including the bed!) appeared to be made of some sort of cheap plastic resin and was crammed in to a tiny space where there was virtually no room to move or put luggage. To be fair, it was clean and reasonably decorated, but its just outrageous that this hotel claims to be of 4 star standard - what a joke.

Having gone to sleep, I was woken repeatedly during the night by other guests (by the sound of it totally drunk), staggering up the narrow stairs immediately outside my bedroom door.

Trying to get a coffee at breakfast the next day was impossible; there seemed to be no staff on duty, and those that were just ignored me, in favour of a large group.

When I raised these issues with the reception and asked to be moved to a different room, I was abruptly inormed that they were completely full. I then chose to check out, which obviously annoyed the receptionist who snapped that "..you should have told us earlier, now you will have to wait while I process your bill..." She also threatened to charge for the second night also, but climbed down when I refused to pay.

Finally a warning about car parking - the hotel's website boasts free parking, but they only have a very limited number of spaces on a first come first served basis. On-street parking in the area is rather limited, so a long walk may be necesary if you arrive late.
