Alkmaar Homestays

We stayed in the hotel part. Which is a separate building from the hostel. The whole thing felt a bit like a tourist trap although the staff was really friendly. I suggest to take your breakfast at a cafe elsewhere, where you can get better for less. + Clean room + City centre location + Authentic building - Tiny room - Noisy city centre location - Small 140cm bed - shower curtain, bleh - no AC, no fan, so needed to sleep with an open window.

Short journey from Schipol Airport, less than 30 minutes. The hotel is perfectly suited for the AK Alkmaar Football Stadium which is a ten minute walk away. It is 25 minutes walk into the fabulous town of Alkmaar. The hotel has a good onsite Sushi restaurant. The staff are great. The hotel is safe and clean. But it is limited. Breakfast is a basic offering, good variety but quality average. Rooms are ok, functional but again just. The hotel reception doubles up as a bar. Not ideal. So for me it’s a good base for exploring Alkmaar but it is a no frills hotel. If you want a bit more, you need to stay elsewhere.

We booked for a 4 night stay in Alkmaar for July 2019. We are a family of 2 adults and one child. After booking directly on the hotel's website, I emailed to request a bed for my son. I was told that I would need to upgrade my room in order to be permitted an extra bed. So we were duly upgraded and also charged extra for my son's bed. We paid over 700 euros and this did not include breakfast. Breakfast was 14 euros extra for adults and kids ate free. We decided against paying extra for the breakfast and went to a local bakery that charged €6.50 for a sit down breakfast (tea/coffee, bread, croissants, jam, ham, cheese and butter). I think that for what they charged, they have a cheek expecting us to then pay extra for breakfast! When we arrived in our room (room 201) at approximately 1600hrs, the child bed was in the process of being made (why was it not done earlier in the day?). It was clear that the room had not been vacuumed as there was dust and bits of dirt on the floor. It finally was vacuumed 3 days later when I pestered reception about it. I stupidly assumed that the chamber maid would actually see the state of the carpet and vacuum it without prompting. Prior to arriving, I had emailed the hotel to request a kettle in our room. There was no kettle on arrival and when I asked the chambermaid, her response was ”I am housekeeping and this is nothing to do with housekeeping so you will have to speak to the manager”. I also asked for an extra cup as there were only two. same response again. So I went down to reception and they were helpful and brought the mug and kettle to the room. I couldn't call them as the phone in the bedroom didn't work. There was a Senseo coffee machine I the room and the chamber maid had not even noticed that there was a used coffee pad in it from the previous occupants. The chamber maid provided no coffee pads for the machine. One of the roller blinds was broken and so we could not open or close it. It was also very frayed and tatty. I reported it the next day to reception and it was replaced with a brand new one that we could open and close. There were no hooks anywhere near to the sink, so we had to hang our towel on the hairdryer cable and then realised we could use a coat hanger hung too. We were in an attic room and the velux blinds and the windows could only be opened and closed by standing on a chair. The bottom bed sheets were too short for the bed and there was about 5cm of the mattress showing at the bed head, where my pillow was. Why????? After our first night, the chambermaid removed our extra mug and left us back with two again, so I wandered off back to reception to request our mug back. Why did she feel that we were not permitted an extra mug?? Two days after our arrival, housekeeping finally decided that they would provide us with coffee pads for the coffee machine. My big concerns were a lack of fire doors. So if a fire started on one floor, it would just spread up the staircase and onto

My husband, our daughter and I booked this hotel for 2 weeks. The location is great: close to railway station, bus station and city center. The staff is friendly. The cleaning up after breakfast or just having a drink and a snack is really slow. We had a drink, went out for dinner and two hours later, the glasses were still on the table how we left it. Table is right in front of the window. Bar service isn't really quick either. The bitterballen however are delucious: you have to try them, yummy!! The outdoor seating area also needs more attention regarding cleaning, also the footpath: cigarette buts etc. I can't understand why some people don't use the provided ashtrays. We enjoyed the room size and the bathroom! A suggestion to update the entrance, bar and breakfast area: get rid of allthe artificial, outdated vases with flowers and replace them either with living plants or fresh colorful flowers. l
