The best thing was the free gym and swimming pool. The menu at restaurant would be OK, if we would not have to wait for a long time. Breakfast menu is OK only for those people who eat only bread and meet for breakfast. Sound isolation bad in rooms. The room was good, except it would be more pleasant if the carpet and bed would not be worne out.

Nice size hotel, nice pool, spacious rooms, friendly staff!
Very good beaches nearby (Egmond, Bergen), there is a beautiful lake nearby the hotel.
Perfect location for cycling and to discover the beautiful area, there is cheesemarket on friday in Alkmaar, which is only 5 minuts by car!

The breakfast was great and the dinner was very nice, they have a couple of restaurants.

I stayed at this hotel 3 nights in June 2009 and I would like you to know the ups and downs of this hotel(in my opinion). First of all the hotel is on the highway so a car is a must. I stayed there for 3 days without a car and it can be very difficult to move around. The only car they have for rent is an Audi TT for 75 EUR / day. The main problem that I had is that they don’t provide free internet connection and the internet card costs 5.95 EUR / 50 min. So you don’t have internet connection unless you are willing to pay more for the internet than the room itself. The hotel it’s very big and if you have a room in the back there can be quite a walk to the restaurants and reception. That’s a problem because there’s no minibar or room service for standard rooms. The rooms are very big with big bathrooms but unfortunately they are not very clean. I found a beer bottle and some chips under my bad. I don’t know any other hotels in the area and I didn’t booked for this hotel myself(the company I work for booked this hotel because is close to the place I had to work) but in the future I’ll try to find another one.

Always stay here when on our way up north, convenient location, nice food and great bar. Rooms are spacious and well decorated. Some hallways a bit tired and sometimes a maze!
Great breakfast.
