Best Hotels near Verloop Pond And Aquarium Specialty Store, Haarlemmermeer

Corona time. Have taken steps to do so we had booked the summer deal, so don't expect everything for that price. Well we're pleasantly surprised. In the room is everything you need. No luxury, but just enough. Good beds. Bathroom good in size, present 1 washboard, shower and toilet, a lot of space around the washboard. Coffee and tea facilities are available and are filled daily. Room was sound but no ”load” of it. Lift present. In the standard room no refrigerator present, you need to upgrade for that. Breakfast is fine, no super luxury but surely no longer as sufficient (see photos). We were satisfied with the offer and quality of the food. Very royal lunch package. Service friendly, have time for a conversation. Advise about the environment. Reception staff helpful. Stalling and loading point for the e-bikes. Parking for the door. In the hotel the whole day coffee and tea (automatic) available. We will surely go back.

Poor experience. We were traveling with two little children and we requested if possible to have the room ready as we arrived quite early (11 am) but the answer was no or you can wait 30 mins and pay a supplement. Reception team is very junior and they need more training, never a smile or a friendly approach, and the senior staff just hiding in the back office. We had a family room and they were not enough towels bath soap and there was any hairdryer, we had to come downstairs every time as no one was picking up the phone. The only special mention is for the food and beverage manager(Romina and another pregnant lady-sorry I didn’t get your name) super helpful and smiling, thanks. Location wise is very convenient if you have an early flight but there is so little around the hotel, you’ve to get the bus to find a restaurant Breakfast was ok but If you’re a coffee only breakfast person I would suggest the caffè macchiato in front of the hotel, great croissant So I would go back? Definitely not as I wasn’t feeling welcome

I liked everything very much, great location A very cozy hotel, polite staff, delicious and varied breakfasts, the pool, although small, was clean and comfortable.

This is the most unexpected thing I have ever lived. Great. Close to the sea. But there is no time to move forward. Very good, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, very good, great, great, great, great, great, great.

Stopped for breakfast before my appointment in Haarlem. Bus stops are directly before the hotel (you'll see grocerystore and a gas station) but you will need to walk to main traffic lights a few mminutes away (go to right when facing restaurant windows) and then turn left to get to main hotel entrance & parking - hotel is surrounded by a sort of moat. Thank you for the walking adventure Van der Valk😆 Once inside you can get to restaurant a floor above via escalator. Greeted by host - confusion over confirmmed reservation as it was not immediately visible. Quickly found and cleared up. My reservation was 08:30am on a Friday. Not really busy at this timme. Lots of window searing available. Huge windows so even if not directly seated ( on opposide across) you still have a ”window view”. Staff member clearing tables was off the bat -first to give greeting and friendly short banter. Breakfast buffet is unbelieavably i***ressive with a mmind boggling array: good coffees, juices, smmoothies and mmore than your standard buffet offerings. On top of this -fried eggs, omelets being prepared by cook station. Sparkling wine included if that is your thing. Sure is mmine!!! A fantastic deal for €18,50 per person! I was able to catch up with Anoushka -meeting & events staff!!! A wonderful and esteemed colleague - we worked together a few years back at a co***etiror hotel. So this in particular mmade mmy visit even mmore special! I can absolutely reccommend Restaurant Van der Valk in Haarlem as a goid deal for breakfast. As I go back and forth to Haarkem frequentky -I will mmake it a point to stop in mmore often - breakfat and lunch. Don't mmiss out!!!

was impressed by the rich history and craftsmanship. The tour highlighted Mr. Freddy's pivotal role in shaping Heineken into an iconic brand. The detailed process—from barley storage to yeast addition and achieving that perfect golden hue—was captivating. The interactive quizzes along the way added a fun element, with chances to win small prizes. Knowledgeable guides enriched the experience, providing insights into the company's evolution and global reach. The display of original beer-making vessels showcased the authenticity

I hadn't planned to stay here, but after arriving into Schipol from the Middle East to find my onwards connection to the UK cancelled, and with 35 other flights from AMS cancelled and lots of missed connections, needed to make a quick booking (through Expedia) and beat the rush for local hotel rooms. Being familiar with the Hampton brand, and in the knowledge that KLM would only recompense a 'mid-range' hotel, booked here. Firstly, I cannot understand previous comments about the hotel being difficult to get to or expensive by taxi. My booking confirmation had great directions, so I simply caught the sprinter train from Schipol to Hoofdorp, 4 minute ride, €3.50! From there, less than a five minute walk. The shuttle bus is currently not running, but to be honest my transit from the airport to the hotel was probably quicker. Check in was easy, up two floors by lift, and into my room. Now if you know the Hampton room, you know what to expect. The room was kind of basic, as if designed for the airline passenger market in mind. But it was comfortable, clean, decent sized bathroom and a superb shower. The bed was super-comfy. Basic tea / coffee making facilities, and a TV. But a few things to be aware of. Although really close to the station, it's kind of remote. Hoofdorp centre is a 15 minute walk away. And as there is no dinner at weekends, this can be a problem. However, the staff are on point to offer recommendations of places to eat if you fancy the walk into town, or if not, assist with delivery services. I guess I lucked in though, as the barman seemed to have guidance that if it was quiet, he could make pizzas for the guests, so 20 minutes later a brilliant stove-cooked meat feast pizza was in front of me. Although I didn't catch his name, many thanks, great customer service and much appreciated. As I had an early start the next morning, left before breakfast to get the first (05:35) sprinter train to Schipol, so can't comment. So in my situation, it really worked out for me, and happy to recommend if you're caught in a similar situation to me.
