Van der Valk Volendam - Katwoude

Second time we stayed here. First time was better.Check in time is at 2pm, if you ask at 1:55pm it's not ready, at 2:05 suddenly it's ready. No ice machines, so if you ask for ice they send you from the front desk to the restaurant, the restaurant sends you to the bar, the bar sends you to the restaurant, get the picture. If you have deluxe room and […] ask for tea bags, same thing happens. Stayed 4 nights, they never changed the sheets once. If you want a nice location outside Amsterdam, ok, but you better just come and go without bothering them. They will ignore you when they see you coming. I feel we had terrible service.

I had stayed in Amsterdam for a few days then moved to Volendam. I enjoyed the area and being in a more rural location. It was quaint and relaxing. Internet was good so I was able to work. I was disappointed that there was a charge for the fitness room and therefore opted to run outside. Bakery in town was delicious and the Saturday market was fun too. […] No refrigerator in room. It had a nice balcony and the view was serene. I took day trips from Volendam to Alkmeer, Zaandam, etc. but was glad I had a rental car. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

We liked being away from Amsterdam, a great place to visit but I would not want to live there. The park and ride would cost 8 Euro per car and give two people all day passes on the transit system or buying a ticket on the bus will cost 10 Euro per person for the same. We chose the bus for our trip into Amsterdam and it was too easy. The bus comes every […] 15 minutes on the road next to the hotel (100 meters from the hotel) and drops you off at Central Station. We only waited two minutes since there are 4 different bus lines that pass and go the Central Station. Then when you are done with the craziness you can come back to your room next to a field full of sheep outside the quaint town of Volendam which is also worth a visit. The hotel was clean and comfortable with a nice shower (good pressure and hot water). Rooms were quiet but the beds were softer than we like (we like the Euro-hard beds). Breakfast was good with fresh-squeezed orange juice and good espresso and cappuccinos. Breads and rolls were fresh and varied. There were pre-cooked scrambled eggs with either ham, spinach (I think) or plain. The soft boiled eggs were closer to hard boiled eggs and the sunny side up eggs were also cooked a little too long. I would have liked eggs to orders but I like that when I am on holiday. They had bacon, sausage and some meats and cheeses as well. Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream a movie at the end of the day (a wired connection cost extra). We would stay here again. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

We booked this hotel after a hostel in central Amsterdam had messed up our booking. It was an amazing hotel, brilliantly comfy rooms, swimming pool etcs. Only problem being that it was 16km from Amsterdam (€7.50 bus one way or a €45 taxi)! If you want comfort away from the hussel and bussel you won't go wrong with this place. If you are looking for […] a central hotel in Amaterdam this isn't it! Διαβάστε περισσότερα

van der valk in volendam is a lovely hotel, clean, friendly helpful staff and situted in nice surroundings. As other reviewers have said, it's location is the only drawback.Although there is bus stop right outside the hotel served by 4 different buses into Amsterdam centre, the last bus is at midnight so you will have to get a taxi back if you want […] to stay out late! Taxi costs about 60euro compared to an all day bus pass which is 10euro. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

A lovely hotel with very friendly staff. Although probably wouldn't stay here again if visiting Amsterdam because of its distance fm the centre & Volendam town. So more suited to the business traveller with a car although there are good connections to Amsterdam but 1 price for Adults & children alike. The Spa well appointed but if you get 2 families […] in the pool it can feel crouded. Plus the locals using the pool as members of the leisure centre make you feel unwelcome. So in conclusion better suited as a function hotel but you wouldn't be disappointed if you took yr family there as a contrast to other places in the South of Holland. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

Booked hotel knowing it was out of town (Amstersdam) but read it was easy to get to by bus, which turned out to be very true (although journey time was more near 20 minutes, than 10 minutes). Bus leaves central station which is at the rear of the station, which looks over the harbour, so easy connection between train and hotel. Hotel room was very […] good standard, but no hot drink making facilities (not that we really needed them for one night) and had balcony view. The highlight was the delicious food, although the service was a bit slow. Menu had nice choices, espeically fish dishes. Good drinks on offer, but my wife particularly enjoyed the fresh orange juice. As for breakfast, I was not sure about ordering breakfast after reading previous reviews, but I have to say what was on offer was great with egg, sausage and very nice smoky bacon, as well as selection of cold meats, salmon and cheese, plus pastries and drinks on 'tap'.

Very impressed, ample space, very cleaned, reasonable breakfast price with great choices. Didnt try the Rest. Bus stop to Amsterdam close by but expensive about 10 E per person is better to use the park and ride station is only 8 dollars regardless of total people. Voledam villages is only 3 Km away next to a cheese and shoes factory.

Loved this hotel. Made our weekend even more wonderful. We went to Holland for the weekend to see the tulips and some other sites. Hotel was reasonably close to Keukenhof if you had a car, which we did. We were also able to explore two different beaches on the North Sea, go into Amsterdam, walk along the harbor near the hotel and see the windmills. […] Breakfast was great-scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausage, cereal, yogurt, fresh squeezed orange juice and an assortment of pastries. Hotel is located on the highway but the rooms were sound proof. There was a cheese factory next door and our room had a view of a small lake and some sheep. Would definitely stay again!

The hotel is 15 minutes drive north-west of the amsterdam ring road, so very convenient for the city. The park and ride is excellent. The hotel's position offers the best of both worlds - access to the city but in countryside very close to the beautiful little towns of Volendam and Edam. These were wonderful places and I am sure that the area has more […] to offer than we had time to explore. The hotel room we had was a good size with a fantastic bathroom - it was billed as a luxury triple. I am not sure I would call it luxury (no bathrobes etc) but it was of a good standard as expected from a four star hotel. The breakfast was very good (11 euro) and we ate from the restaurant menu in the bar - fantastic food at very resonable prices for a hotel. The bar was lovely area with table service. The staff were quietly efficient. We will definitely return here and will recommend. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. The room was spacious and the bathroom floor was heated. It is about 25 minutes from the city by bus and this might be of concern to those intending to spend late nights partying in the city centre, but fine if you're more interested in sightseeing during the day and resting at night. The hotel restaurant […] is very nice and the food is good. There is a nice swimming in the hotel too. Overall I would advise this hotel for people who wouldn't mind being a bit outside the city.

The hotel was great! Not that far from the city centre, and the several buses that goes there takes about 20 minutes. The hotel was very cheap, but very worth it! Staff was friendly, but the hotel barkeep didn't know how to mix any drinks at all. (haha) I had some allegies in my room wich I believe came from a dusty carpet. There was no visible dirt […] though. Daily cleaning and a very fresh and BIG bathroom + comftirble beds.

I was a little worried when I booked that the hotel was outside Amsterdam. Needlessly, it was perfect. I went with my teenage son, i wanted a relaxing few days and he wanted to be doing things. We were both satisfied. The location is great, handy for seeing windmills, cheese farms and clogs being made, yet very convenient for getting in and out of Amsterdam […] too. Public transport is good, with a bus right outside the hotel and if you fancy having a look around locally, the bicycles that you can hire from the hotel are a must. Nice swimming pool and tennis court and, best of all, the staff are really helpful and friendly. Would definitely go back and would recommend it to anybody. Διαβάστε περισσότερα

Very nice hotel for the price. If you are staying at this hotel to then go amsterdam there is a bus stop outside the hotel, and if you get a travel card from the hotel (£7.50 deposit) and add 5 euro that will get you there and back. Easy to get to by car from calais. Will be staying there again.

Ideal if you want a quiet stay outside of Amsterdam. A 30 minute bus ride to Amsterdam (bus stop close to hotel). Ideal if you have a hire car (or bike!) to explore nearby towns, Edam, Volendam plus with in easy reach of Delft. Very good service at hotel, responsive friendly staff. Breakfast worth paying the extra for with a decent buffet, good coffee […] and fresh bread and freshly squeezed orange juice, though it could be quite busy in the morning. Only fault - the decor of the room was quite dark and gloomy (a lot of brown) and the bathroom could have done with better lighting.

Used this location to visit Amsterdam ,Volendam and Edam for the cheese market also to see the local sights which are really lovely. Breakfast and evening meal were good a bit disappointed that swimming pool has no shallow part this was a bit of a problem as my grandaughter aged 9 could not reach the bottom and although she can swim it is worrying.

Buy a chip card in the lobby make sure your credit card has a pin number or it will not work in the machine there. 9 euros a day otherwise for round trip, about 13 dollars.

Location is great if you have a car - close enough to Amsterdam to use the Park & Ride or if you prefer, the Bus stops outside hotel - at least 4 buses an hour makes catching one easy.

Nagyon jó hely azoknak, akik a városi nyüzsgést szeretnék mellőzni.Mi egy körutazást tettünk Hollandiában, nagyszerű bázis volt. Egy dolog nem tetszett, hogy a minibár nincs feltöltve, ha szomjas vagy és inni szeretnél, egy italautomatát használhatsz, ami méreg drága... Egyébként minden szempontból nagyon jó a hotel, ajánlom mindenkinek.

Das Hotel dürfte mal wieder eine Renovierung vertragen, insbesondere die Zimmer. Der sogenannte Wellnessbereich mit Sauna verdient diesen Namen nicht. Steril mit weißen Fliesen an Wänden und Boden, ungemütlich und laut durch die angrenzende, nicht abgeschlossene Umkleide für das Fitnessstudio welches auch von externen Gästen genutzt wird. Entspannung […] nach einem anstrengenden Arbeitstag ist hier nicht geboten. Für die Saunabenutzung dann auch noch eine zusätzliche Gebühr zu verlangen ist schon fast unverschämt. Kleines Essen an der Bar war okay, wenn auch der Barkeeper nicht unbedingt sehr freundlich war und anfangs darauf bestand, dass ich mich an einen Tisch setzen sollte, um meinen Salat zu essen.Ich durfte ihn aber dann doch an der Bar essen. Alles in allem eine Enttäuschung, ich habe schon bessere VdV Hotels erlebt. Hier übernachte ich nicht wieder. Διαβάστε περισσότερα
