The reception

Here you can see in and out, with questions, information, reservations or such complaints. At check they ask if you want to pay in advance or at the end of your stay. You can pay cash, debit card and pay with your credit card. The advantage of paying with your credit card is that at the end of your stay in one time to pay, and that everything you consume in your room number is put, at breakfast, dinner and if you for drinks leave you the card see what you got, it can handle personnel to see that you pay afterwards.

The rooms

There are a number of different rooms in the hotel, namely: luxury rooms, a bridal suite, Kennedy suite, family room, studio, disabled room, and three luxury rooms. The rooms are modern and attractively decorated; there are beautiful warm colours so you do a bit of a "home" feeling, or so I had then. The rooms have a spacious bathroom with bath, separate shower and toilet. There is a hair dryer next to the sink; there is also an outlet for such a shaver. The room itself is a mini bar, desk stuff on the coffee and tea. There is a PC connection, and wireless Internet access. Cable TV (with regular channels and pay TV) is a nice seat. Ample closet space in the Box is a safe. Telephone is available. Most rooms feature a private balcony or terrace. We had a nice room, very spacious; we had chosen a non-smoking room. The bed was large and was fine, nice to have slept. They have a good system for clean towels as you want if you submit a towel in the sink, you get a clean and when the towel on the rack is then use it again. This related to the environment, I think a good display as large hotel can determine what you do for the environment. There were also three soap dishes, in the shower, the bath and sink, so you had all that you could wash soap. The soap what was in it was deaf, my favourite. The room was a small fridge, which was sealed as soon as you open it you pay for it. We have nothing of use, especially since next to a price list was, and that was all very expensive. For example a bottle of beer for 2.50, well never mind then, we run me down to what to get. Room service, but we have not used it; I think the prices are the same as in the restaurant, but for the order to bring you pay 12.50 euros.

Cleaning of rooms

The cleaning takes place morning, so you knock first, I know this because we were in the room, she probably heard us because she was not inside. By later in the day came in the room, looked out again neatly. The beds neatly made, in the bathroom everything was clean and there were clean towels again. That is so good that you truly have nothing to do.

Prices

Prices vary per room. So you pay for a deluxe room for example 75 to 150 euro, then the price for the room per night without breakfast. We had the package this weekend, you pay 99 euros per person in a double room. Here's two nights in, two times breakfast and once a three-course menu. I find this a good price for this package, there are a lot more packages to book this I refer you to the website, you will find all the information.

The restaurant.

The restaurant is divided into two different rooms, where breakfast and brunch place and the other part is for dinner. Breakfast is from seven hours to half past ten, these are good times, again the choice for early birds and for some people later. The price per person is 12.50 euros; I think good value for what you get. It's a buffet, which I find very pleasant, so you may look what you want and how much you want. There is a wide choice of breads, different kinds of savoury filling, cheese completes this, there's sweets, sausages and bacon, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs (you even have the choice of hard or soft) The cook makes fresh fried eggs, this nice to see, I have not tasted, but they looked delicious. For the enthusiast there was yogurt with granola types. Coffee, tea, milk and fresh orange juice was like drinking. Wide choice, it was also all very good. If that was what was quickly replenished by the staff. We had breakfast here twice and both times there was nothing to be desired. There were a large number of tables and chairs for two, four and six people. The seats were comfortable, what I like about.

Parking.

There is enough space around the hotel to park, it is free. Near the entrance are enough handicapped spots. Also, can you come by car near the entrance to get passengers to unload or suitcases.

My opinion.

Unexpected tips is always fun, like myself, so the atmosphere was already. The hotel is fully equipped; I do like a little luxury! It's quite a large hotel, but does it snug and cozy, this is probably due to the establishment. The room was ideal, very spacious, the beds were great and there was a bathtub in the bathroom. (Unfortunately I have no home, so this is a particular delight) Breakfast and dinner were all well cared for, and tasted fine, there was nothing wrong with that. This was (again) a positive experience with Van der Valk hotel. We come back down again, here or in another hotel of van der Valk.
