I expect this hotel would rate as good in another setting but it cannot transcend its situation. Volendam is a slightly odd - a loud, brash seafront of 10 or so bars and restaurants, populated by masses of aggressive young drunks. I guess a stag do would work here but not the best place for a family to visit. The... More

We were a last minute check in and ended up getting a great rate. This is an old building that has a lot of character and is fun to be in and look around. The only down side was that there were a lot of stairs to climb because there was no elevator. They also included a breakfast with our... More

Disappointed that for a 5star rated hitek the bedroom floor is not heated! Its freezing cold n no bedrm slippers supplied. For supposedly €100 a nite it is a big disappointment. However luckily the reception girl is very friendly n polite n very informative. The room is small with a unique bathtub. - a sitting tub. Not too bad if... More

Hotel right in the middle of a very touristy parade of shops....weird, to say the least! Bit like going to Southend, but without the amusements, just a never-ending parade of tacky souvenirs and photos taken in Dutch costume. Once inside the uninspiring building, we had to negotiate round tables with diners to the reception area, which was to the rear... More

We stayed here for two nights in July. We were in a triple room, three separate beds with no option to push them together since they were in wooden boxes and they were all very uncomfortable. We were in room number three, which I do not recommend. It was very stuffy and hot with only one small fan. The hotel... More

Stayed here for two nights in June 2012, and, frankly, it was a mistake from start to finish. The hotel possibly has a marvellous past history, but, no longer. It's trading on its past glories, which would be fine if the fittings were all antiques, but they're not, it's become a mish-mash of styles and fittings. The room we had,... More

It is located in a very nice place, just in front of the sea, in a pedestrian zone, rich of shops and restaurants. You can easily go in Amsterdam by public transport. The staff is kind and the reception and the publics area are very cosy. It also has a very nice swimming pool and three different kinds of sauna.... More

We didn't stay at this hotel in Volendam, but we were advised to come here for dinner to its lovely restaurant. The walls are covered with painting, drafts and sketches of fishermen's life starting from 19th century and all this art is worth to be seen! Very nice to have an eat in such an interesting atmosphere. The restaurant has... More

We arrived just after 21 h, and the kitchen was already closed. The staff could not help us, and in Volendam after 21 h it was very hard to find something to eat. The hotel is oldfasioned. Nice for tourists, but not for business man an a trip. Difficult to reach do to works on the road. Dangers to drive... More
