“tour de france”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2010

We visited Holland for the Tour and stayed at the Golden Tulip as B & B. We arrived in Holland by car on the Ferry from Hull. Simple journey to Papendrecht. At the hotel, our room was large and the staff had put 3 beds in the bedroom for my sons and I. The lounge part of the bedroom was comfortable and really useful for our planning. The staff were friendly and very helpful. It was over 30 degrees, no aircon, but the staff gave us a large fan. Everyone spoke English and helped with advice and directions. There is a secure room within the hotel for cycles. We took our bikes and cycled to the Tour in Rotterdam each day. We also visited Kinderdyk, a must for viewing the windmills, that used to drain the polder. Take the fast ferry across the water from West of Kinderdijk to Krimpen, across the Lek to Rotterdam, rather than cycle back towards Ridderkerk for Rotterdam, saved miles. I believe that this hotel is due to be rebuilt in the near future.

“Classy, but affordable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2009

Reception very friendly and pleasant. Room beautiful, decorated in excellent taste, and the bathroom -- wow. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace, nice in the summer. Here also, service was friendly and efficient, though the food far from cheap. We booked the room online and were able to benefit from a reduced-rate scheme which made the stay no more expensive than a run-of-the mill Ibis.

“quiet golden tulip”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2008

On business in Zweindrect , this was the nearest the agent could get .Cost 30 Euros in a taxi to Zweindecht , 20 Euros to Dordrecht.
Resonable enough hotel , very dated rooms , restaurant menu very limited and slow service . At £120 per night ( breakfast an extra £8) you would expect a bit better but OK for business if someone else is paying
Papendrecht is a very quiet place , 15 mins walk from hotel to town centre , a few restaurants , chinese , greek , american style diner but through the week hardly any customers .

“Good Choice for business traveller”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2007

This is a good choice for business travellers to Stork Fokker. The rooms are clean and bright. They're not huge, but they are adequate. The rooms in the Garden wing are larger than those in the main building. The restaurant is good, but slow. Don't expect to grab a quick bite here. Unfortunately the choice of restaurants is pretty limited in Papendrecht, although in Dordrecht, there is a much wider selection.

To get around I hired a bicycle. It costs about 15Euro a day and the hotel will sort it out for you and it is then delivered to the hotel for you. I took this down to the water bus to go to Dordrecht. It's about 7 minutes on the bike and then a 5 minute water bus ride. Dordrecht is lovely, apparently the oldest Town in Holland. I'm not sure if this is true, but it is very typically dutch. The water bus stops quite early at night though, apart form on Thursday and Friday evenings, which are late night shopping evenings in the two towns. If you miss the last water bus though, it's a 5km bike ride round to Papendrecht again, so not a huge problem.

Also within cycling distance (approximately 6km) is Kinderdijke, a set of 19 windmills, again typically dutch.

This hotel has now changed it's name to the "Golden Tulip". I'd certainly stay here again, on business or for leisure.

  • Liked — Clean and Convenient
  • Disliked — No Gym or Swimming Pool (unless you pay and it's quite expensive) - I forgot to put this in my man review!

“Big rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed there one night for business and it was ok. Clean, big rooms and good breakfast. I walked around in the village in the evning, but there's not much to do there. Be aware of the tricky way of charging for pay-tv, because there's no normal system where you'll have to confirm that you want to be charged by typing your room-number! If you watch for more than 2 minutes, you'll get charged automatically (no, I didn't get charged, I discovered the system before turning on the tv ;).
