Opposite the train station and handy for local amenities. Friendly, helpful staff.

it's strange experience that the hotel is actually housed in different houses, so you go via outside to the rooms. There's no night reception. Very nice staff, full of energy (littlebit too much for me in the morning haha). rooms are normal, bed, small tv, shower all nothing fancy, sufficient.

We stayed for three days with the kids. We had a room for 4 persons. The hotel personnel was very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast was good. Disadvantage was the fact that it was difficult to ventilate the room, also the bed lights of one of the double beds had no power available. So were useless. Ideal spot to check out the city and its surroundings.

OK if you are looking for a bed & breakfast adjacent to the train and bus stations but not suitable if you are planning a romantic break in the beautiful town of Alkmaar. Many rooms are in houses next to the coffee bar reception (with front doors on street). First room we were given had terrifying very steep stairs with right angled twist at top. On request moved to a ground floor room after first night. Two problems, scalding shower and missed room clean both fixed on request. Biggest disappointment was lack of restaurant facilities. Advised during check-in that, although no menu, food could be cooked on request. Tried this on second night but told no food available and directed to restaurant in town (10mins walk). Most guests seemed to use Burger King at station but we were looking for something more and there was nothing else in the vicinity (another 'restaurant' along street turned out to be bar only). In fairness the staff were always friendly and pleasant and acted on our requests promptly, but we felt that the hotel does not live up to the claims of its web site. Its main asset is convenience for the stations.

This is a very convenient small hotel near the train and bus stations and a 20 minute walk to the main town square, though only 10 min to the edge of town. The rooms are spread around in adjoining houses on three floors with extremely steep stairs (elderly or heavy luggage beware)ask for ground floor if this bothers you. Rooms are adequate though sparten. Shower room functional and clean though shower door was old and broken (Room 21). Breakfast is served in the bar/restaurant area and contained a good adequate continental selection included in the price. Hotel did limited evening meals as did a nearby bar, with several takeaways near, otherwise it is a 10 or 20 minute walk into town (large selection). Did not get the balcony room as stated on the booking. Will use the hotel as a base again for its convenience to public transport which we to use to visit northern dutch towns eg. Medenblik, Hoorn and Enkhuasen.

The hotel and staff were wonderful. Unfortunately, they did not have my reservation from hotels.com...fortunately, they were able to give us a room. I will not use hotels.com for any reservation in the future.

Staff provided great service. Fair breakfast and good location just opposite Alkmaar train station and short walk to city centre. We got a small room (#18) but still good.

This was a really cool room in the beautiful town of Alkmaar. Friendly staff spoke English and our room had a balcony and WiFi was readily available. It is located next to the train station and the city has a lot to offer tourists.

Hotel was easy to find and breakfast was good, with friendly staff. However, there were more down-sides to the stay. Arrived to find there was no travel cot (which the hotel claimed was due to Hotels.com not passing this information to them). We had booked the suite (there is only meant to be one at the hotel) and I checked upon arrival this was the case, which the hotel confirmed. The room had nothing to suggest it was a suite and was no different to the room we saw next door to ours (when it was being cleaned the next day). The bed was very noisy and uncomfortable (frisky travellers beware!), not helped by our child sleeping between us whilst trying not to fall down the crack betqween the two twin beds that were supposed to pass for a double. Worth paying more elsewhere for some guarantee of quality. On another point (no fault of the hotel), why does Alkmaar insists on its churches ringing bells every 15 minutes until 3AM???
