Hotel berhampiran vogelhut eemmeer, Eemnes

We combined our Floriade-visit with this hotel. The setting is quite out-of-the-box with the separate buildings right in the harbour of Huizen, and the all in all appearance is good. Rooms are ok, beds are fine. Restaurant is ok, but surely not the best option in town; the staff is friendly, but messy. Breakfast buffet, on the other hand, has everything you need.

Located next to Almere station, and a World Trade Centre building. Trains direct via South station,from Schiphol (AMS) Airport, 28 mins, not around loop through Amsterdam. Obtain or top up yr Travel Chipkaart, for travel on ALL trains, trams, buses, metro Nationally! No time limits or expensive periods, just as travel should be. Try also to get a loaded debit Euros card, fewer places take cash, and ONLY major stores Credit cards. Check any card you bring is NOT classed as a Credit card here, options are running very low for everyday or small purchases, and cash is sp**** used in NL's now. For tax free purchases, check in the store before to see if they participate in Global Blue, (Et al),where you will need yr passport at the store, to begin the store purchases. You can reach Amsterdam from Almere, within 16 mins by train, but the prices here are half than there. It is ideal to stay a little outside, but has all that you need without crowding as in Amstrd, to eat drink, shop, enjoy and relax. More people who stayed in the Capital before and seen done all they wish stay here. Within easy reach if you want to go there. But in Summer Season it is now over packed with people, hotel prices really double/ treble what they were Pre-Covid, and simply not worth it. It is a small city for so many crowding in and becoming less easy a place to spend time. In Almere, This hotel, is a High Rise Associated with USA Chain Best Western, More space if you select an apartment with separate living room, large Bathroom, looks v new and generally smart. Basic good size kitchenette, fridge, 2 plate Hob, which is useful; for longer stays. Great views out to Polder and Sea in distance, with the city reaches around. Opposite a Spar mini shop, with many sandwiches, hot toasted breads, coffee machine and whole good range of supermarket items, but small sized, so ideal for a few days. Or, Albert Hein mini store at station, for chilled foods, drinks, some basics handy. Plenty places to take a drink, eat meals or snacks within the city. You can buy and make yr own breakfast in the apnt, rather than an 18 Euros Breakfast here only til 9am! Plenty breakfast, lunch, anytime eat options to eat in the Centre 2 mins walk under train station. Housekeeping - However, the making of a bed is not hygienic, not covering the mattress with the sheet, no mattress cover, nor pillow case covers, the same. It means all guests sleep on the bare mattress and pillows all not covered properly. My Cosy Apnt for 2 , had 2 single duvets, open in the middle badly tucked into one side. It was quiet bizarre , impractical, not made up well. This does not comply with most basic hygiene requirements. Furniture looks nice, but not comfortable or soft, and all needs a steam clean to get rid of stains. Hairs on the furniture also. Housekeeping staff appear to be from East Europe, speak no english. abrupt, rude, no care or concern for guests, refuse to clean with you inside?!! They clearly give the impres

Room at the front with lovely view of the old town hall. But disadvantage is the noise in the nights on the weekends. Despite an excellent location the hotel is situated next to ‘bar street’ in Zeist. Rooms are spacious but no fridge. Towels need upgrading. Had a few drinks in the Grand Cafe downstairs and was unable to charge this to room. Had to go upstairs to collect purse. Not guest friendly. Very sp**** on coffee and tea in room. Had to ask for extra every day. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Great Hilton near Amersfoort. Rooms are great and with some excellent views over the Golf Course (from your Balcony 😎) Rooms are spacious and have a modern decor. Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is good (apart from the Scrambled egg which is a bit hard/over-cooked 😕) and the Restaurant has a nice chilled feeling, so a great way to start the morning. The staff are really helpful (I forgot my Adapter and they found one for me 👍). The hotel is a bit out of the way, so you'll really need a car, but it's seclusion is what makes it so good 👍

Het personeel is enorm vriendelijk. Wij kwamen op oudejaarsavond om 19.50 aan en wilden nog eten, wat eigenlijk tot 20 uur kon. Na een belletje door de receptioniste naar de keuken waren we welkom. Bij het restaurant werden we zo vriendelijk ontvangen, ondanks het feit dat we wel klaar waren met werken. Was een goed begin van ons verblijf. We komen zeker terug!!

I thoroughly enjoyed staying at this charming & comfortable hotel for 7 nights while I visited the Hilversum area. I booked a junior suite which had a large bed and plenty of room to stretch on the floor. The bathroom had a spa tub and shower plus soap, shampoo, lotion, etc. There’s a beautiful outdoor/indoor cafe/bar/restaurant. The hotel is walking distance to the train, a gorgeous park surrounding a pond with geese, and also some fantastic restaurants. The people at the front desk were lovely. I has zero problems and will most certainly stay there at again.

The hotel was fine, but I agree with the previous reviewer that there is an extractor fan on all the time which is a bit annoying. I quite like Almere itself. It's modern but not depressing like so many newly built areas in Britain. The main problem is the cost of going to and from Amsterdam each day on the train. I was told that you can buy a ticket for 3 days on the train. You can't buy one at Almere Centrum station. You can't buy one at the ticket machines at Amsterdam Centraal station. Or the information kiosks. There is supposed to be a special kiosk at Centraal but I didn't manage to find it. Another thing is that the coffee often tastes horrible. I didn't have coffee at this hotel but at several places in the Netherlands I did. They don't seem to use fresh milk. I don't know if it's UHT or sterilised or maybe some kind of coffee creamer. If you go to Dunkin Donuts though you can choose fresh milk. There is one in Almere and a few in Amsterdam. Or buy a half litre in a supermarket and take it with you if you go to a cafe.
