Stopped here whilst passing through on business. First of all I wasn't sure if I'd found the right place as there's no signage with Van Der Valk, it just says Hotel Haarlem and you can't really miss it. Got the key to my room and it was pitch dark when I walked in, had to fumble around to find the... More

Pretty avarage. Clean enough, spacious rooms although quite dated. Food at the restaurant was pretty good. Padi around £70 per night so good value for money on this occassion. More

This is a large, sprawling conference-class hotel about 20 mins leisurely walk from Haarlem city centre. Once state-of-the-art, the VdV needs a bit of a makeover now to bring its bedrooms into the 21st Century as their facilities are quite basic. Although the old 4:3 CRT tv had a wide spread of northern-Euro channels, mine had good reception on all... More

Stayed for 3 nights to browse Haarlem , service was good especially when my room safe box was locked on my things ..response was quick. Room and shower was clean , hot water, 42" LCD TV, and great view of old Haarlem houses .. I guess its a good value of money and close to city center. More

The Van der Valk is a big and not very pretty hotel in a slightly off-the-beaten-track location in a housing estate in the suburbs of Haarlem. We got a relatively cheap rate (by Amsterdam standards) with breakfast included. Car parking was free. Our family room was big and clean with a good shower. Breakfast had a good range of choices...

Have stayed here on numerous occassions. View good rate including breakfast arranged via Octopus travel (57 GBP per night). Excellent large comfortable room with huge en-suite which had separate bath and shower! Breakfast choice is extensive with both hot and cold foods and enough to cater for all tastes. Evening meal and choice is limited (No burgers or fast type... More

If this is four star, then i gotta ask who's in charge of rating. There;s no fridge or tea / coffee facilities in the room, which is very dated. The restaurant is dated and the food is terrible. After 10pm, the main door is closed and you have to walk up two flights of stairs to get in. They messed... More

Have stayed here for years and it is getting worse every year. in the 1980's it was a nice hotel at a great rate with nice rooms. A few years back they changed the decor from simply neutral to what looks more like a old time Texas brothel. I have no idea what they were thinking when they hired the... More

This large hotel of the Van der Valk group offers large clean rooms, spacious bathrooms and good beds. Service is perhaps a bit impersonal, but very efficient. Breakfast is excellent. The hotel has free parking and as it is only a 3 km walk along the Spaarne river to the city centre, it is easiest to leave the car at... More
