Van Der Valk Hotel Volendam - Recently Renovated - Katwoude

I thoroughly enjoyed varied breakfast, fantastic views.

Place was impeccably clean and modern! The food was outstanding and there were variety of dishes in the menu. The rooms were decent size and huge, and the bathroom was huge with a bath. The hotel had a convenient and perfect position, right to the centre of the Dam.

It was really nice stay, I appreciated amazing food.

Twin room I stayed at was new-fashioned. And it also had nice view. Everything was very good, though a few employees were not very friendly.

great access to charming village and scenic park views

The hotel is just a short stroll from the charming village of Volendam and the beautiful Waterlandsmuseum is an easy walk away, offering scenic views that make exploring the area so enjoyable. The friendly staff and spacious rooms.

Had booked two rooms.And had travelled by own car from Brugge. Party included a wife,son and girlfriend. Found the location suited both age groups. Spent time exploring Edam,Volendam etc which we loved. Travelled from hotel to visit Amsterdam, from just outside, by bus, hotel,journey took approx 20 minutes to central station. Fantastic.cost 9 euros per person. Buses every 15 minutes. Found accomodation and facilities very good. Asked one evening for menu for bar snacks,given a very limited range. However discovered we could have had a greater choice if we had got hold of the menu's in the corner of bar area. Likely the very likeable barman got confused in our request. Lovely hotel would use hotel group again. Personally spend 1/2 nights per week all over UK in different chains, and this was up with the best of these.Twitchers paradise.

enjoyed 4 nights and have no negative comments.

The nature around th hotel is perfect.

Our experience at this hotel was great. Rooms and bathrooms were spotless, and the Hotel staff was extremely kind and helpful. This hotel is about 20 kms. From downtown Amsterdam, which is not really an issue. If you're planning on visiting Amsterdam, then you can either get a bus right outside the hotel (9 Euros per person) or you can park your vehicle at one of many p+r locations around Amsterdam for just 8 Euros/day, and that includes free tram tickets to downtown Amsterdam for the entire family. So smart! Instead of charging tourists an arm an a leg to park their vehicles, and make them buy overpriced tickets to go to the city, they chose the best solution to address traffic congestion and smog issues. Are you listening, Barcelona???

Internet is expensive, even though you can get 1-hour per day free of charge

Indoor swimming pool, Scenic countryside views, Free parking

The empty minibar upon arrival felt off-putting!!! Inconsistent upkeep of rooms and common areas could use improvement!!! Better soundproofing would really enhance any stay!!!

Very nice place to stay in order to visit Amsterdam & Volendam

Nice hotel for exploring Amsterdam by car. Ducks and swans nearby :)

Room decoration was too dark.

Really nice building and friendly staff. Very helpful as regards finding me somewhere to store my bike. Ate there for one evening meal which was very good and very reasonably priced. Room very spacious and comfortable. Good location for getting into Volendam, Edam (nearby) and into Amsterdam (25 mins on bus), but nothing is really walkable and some form of transport is necessary. A bus stop right outside the hotel meant that we could bus it into Amsterdam (although at €9 per person it may have been convenient but certainly wasn't cheap). Great environment for cycling.

The hotel in general was uncomfortably warm. No air conditioning in the room meant that it was quite stuffy at night (and the outdoor temperature wasn't particularly hot) . There was an outside door that could be opened, but given that it led onto a communal balcony we were quite reluctant to leave this open at night. Also there was a surprising amount of noise from what looked like a quiet road outside.

The indoor pool was a hit with the kids.

Very goog stay. Everything excelelent. A very good price value reletionship.

The rooms were clean and the staff spoke a perfect English.

There are too much doors which needed a badge to be opened. We have booked 2 rooms, but they were very far from each other and not on the same floor. In one room, the phone didn't work.

Our Luxury Triple Room was spacious and very comfortable. The indoor pool was a highlight for the kids, and the wellness area. The bus stop right outside made it super easy to explore Amsterdam in just 20 minutes.

Dining options could be more varied.

Great indoor pool for the kids, but dining options were limited.
