Best Hotels near Fort 1881, Hoek Van Holland

Before reading all bad reviews about this hotel, but we haven't booked any attractive & room. The hotel was very spacious, very clean and modern. The only point was that there was no TV (for music) & no chair. However, you could sit well in the broad window bank. A luxury breakfast was available at the restaurant below for €12. All with a very positive experience!

Looks great and rooms and public areas are nicely decorated. However the walls of the rooms are very thin, when your neighbor closes the door you sit straight in your bed. Staff is nice but some essential services are missing: no gym of fitness room (‘will be coming??”), no room service from the restaurant. Restaurant very overpriced for meals that vary in quality. Definitely more variety and better price quality balance is needed. The hotel is on a highway so ask for rooms on the other side otherwise it can be noisy. All in all mixed experience. Van der Valk could improve on several aspects.

Clean, efficient, very friendly staff, who are professional and efficient, and an excellent location. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated, the breakfast is incredible, fresh food and beverages, and the staff are excellent! Thank you Bilderberg!

Room okay, the reception is very kind ... After 50 meters you are at the nice beach with many restaurants and bars. Also nearby the great Pier with Bungee-Jumping, a lot of shops, restaurants and a big ferris wheel with a great view over the beach. At the beach are many playrooms for the children and you can surf, kite or make other watersports...

Horrendously difficult to find by car. The signage is inadequate (they need a much more prominent sign but maybe they are not allowed to have one) but what is unforgivable is that the address given is inacceasible by car. To get to reception, you need to turn into a cycle.path and drive along it (probably illegally) to get to the front of the hotel when you will then be given a map which shows how to find the parking facilities at the rear. When you eventually find the car park, you need to press a button and hope that someone in reception hears the buzzer and raises the barrier. Don't they realise that people often arrive tired after a long drive and the very last thing they need is a stressful extra drive around an unfamiliar area? No, I am not making this up. I attach a photo of the map I was given which I hope will help others. Second really odd thing is the ensuite bathroom, which is a glass box with no roof. I have never seen anything like this in any other hotel (again, see photographic evidence). Little privacy and no sound-proofing. I was a solo traveller, so it didn't matter to me, but I wouldn't wish to hear roommates on the loo. Having said all that, I really enjoyed.my stay! The train station is but a 2 minute walk away with easy access to the major cities. Also, I was here during an August heatwave and so was grateful for the air-conditioning. Staff were friendly. Dinner in the restaurant was good (delicious sea bass) and attentive service. Breakfast was overpriced.

Hotel is ok, checkin went well as did dinner. I personally find the beds to low and a bit small. Unfortunatly my room was right at end of building on ground floor next to garage so had engine noise and headlights in evening and early morning. But that said i slept ok, staff friendly and room was clean. Would i stay again if in area, yes i would. Just a note this is second time here, and car park has been full bith tumes..

After reading the various negative reviews (after booking my trip!) I was mildly apprehensive about my stay here for a number of nights. Upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised to find the hotel very clean, although the check-in process was a time-consuming.mThe room iI was given was small but quite acceptable for my needs and quite clean. Once up in the room, I tried to call down to reception to clarify a minor issue. They ignored my calls. I rang 3-4 times over a period of 20-30 minutes, on one attemnpt, letting it ring for up to 10 minutes. No answer. I eventually found the information I needed in the small info-sheet after looking carefully. The next day, taking a day off from business, I wanted to stay in my room to write emails and so on, so I put out the 'please make up my room now sign at 8 am and went out for breakfast. There were 4 or 5 people in housekeeping on the floor, who, through the course of the day as I came and went, they, seemed have decided they should be doing every single room EXCEPT mine. I has to go to to reception again around lunch time as I found my key disabled. It took the gentleman on reception 25 minutes (I time this) just to be able to create me a new key, and there was no explanation other than ”the system is playing up”. Also at this time, I specifically asked if they would ensure my room was made up and I was assured he would contact housekeeping to make sure it would be done. I went out to lunch. I returned just before three, and the room remained unattended to. I went to reception, this time to register complain, and was quite brusquely told ”this is jsut because the housekeeping staff are busy”. Obviously so!! BNusy all day long doing every room apart from the only room with the ”please make up my room now ” sign hung on the door!! I asked to speak to the manager and was rebuffed. It was clear from the evasive response to my requrest that the receptionist did not want me to speak to the mana gera. After I said I really did want to speak to the manager I was told she wa s busy but would be along shortly. I expected him to do something to contact the manager such as pick up the phone or go to find her, instenad he simply started to ignore me and began to deal with another customer, which behaviour I found most discourteous. When I remonstrated about this he irritable stated taht ”I'm dealing with your problem by email -- you just can't see what I am writing on my screen”. 15 mins of this silent treatment passed I asked again for the manager and was told she was too busy to talk to me. I returned to my room, and housekeeping finally arrived at 1500. These service failings would be incompatible with a 3* rating hotel, but the ket to this thing is that these annoyances are all people related. it is not any indivudual issue-- these things are routine, and dealt with elegantly in even the cheapest of hotels. I expect more from a so-called 5 start property. I It is a real pity as the latest own

It took me a while to write this review since I was afraid of my personal safety. Nevertheless, I have finally decided to share this information with other travelers. This incident happened during a weekday night when I decided to do a walk-in at the Ibis hotel in Den Haag after a long trip. I was already aware of some bad reviews from other travelers indicating ”naughty” staff. Nonetheless, I decided to give it a go. I entered the hotel and mentioned the hotel clerk that I wanted to book a room. His attitude was rough indicating me that he did not have any rooms left. For my bad luck, my phone was out of battery so I decided to seat in one of the tables in the lobby to quickly charge it to look for a hotel somewhere else. While I was charging my phone, the clerk approached me and shouted at me that I had to leave the hotel. I explained him that I wanted to charge my phone to look for other hotels in the area and I wouldn't take much time. He continued shouting at me that I had to leave, when suddenly he grabbed my bag and literally threw it to the street. At this moment I was petrified since I never imagined something like this was happening. Then, he pushed me violently out of the hotel. Luckily I managed to take a picture of this guy. The guy has a tattoo on his right arm and rather than a hotel clerk, he thinks he is a MMA fighter or part of gang. I really don't know how the manager of this hotel can have person like this with such level of anger dealing with customers. My review by no means intend to advice other travelers to visit or not this hotel. I believe the facilities of this hotel are quite nice but what I can say is that I'm not entering this place again until they take strong actions towards improving the quality of their staff. I hope this guy doesn't get fired because of this review but if the hotel really wants to keep him, the hotel should consider send him to an anger management course. I don't know if this guy is always like this or just had a bad night and he took it on me. Nonetheless, I think no one should suffered what this guy did to me under any circumstance.

Ontzettend leuk hotel, centraal gelegen in het centrum van Den Haag. Mooie en goed verzorgde kamer, met dito badkamer. Hotelpersoneel heel erg vriendelijk en gastvrij. En speciaal voor Chris en Femke: heel erg bedankt voor het gezellige afzakkertje!
