Zaandam Hotels with Bars

There was no hair drier or kettle and the place itself is quite loud. The rooms are hot and air conditioning turns off after an hour. Location is great the shops local are good and it is two mins to the station where it is about €6.60 to get to Amsterdam Centraal and back

Really nice hotel. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. The room was nice and clean and perfect for myself as a solo traveller. There is always someone at the reception so you can always receive help. Personally didn’t have the hotel breakfast, but heard from others staying at the hotel that it was really good. The only downside is the train station is like a 35-40minute walk, although it’s a long walk it’s very scenic and enjoyable but doing that kind of walk daily and sometimes twice a day was abit much and including walking back from the train station to the hotel. Trains run regularly to centraal so once you get to the station it’s not hard to get to Amsterdam centraal. You can also rent bikes, use busses and taxis also. Nonetheless impressed with this hotel and my stay here.

My stay at this hotel was a nightmarish experience from start to finish. The level of cleanliness and hygiene was shockingly subpar. The sheets on my bed were clearly not washed, the room hadn't seen the likes of a vacuum cleaner in ages, and to top it off, there were no basic toiletries provided in the bathroom. Instead, I found remnants of someone else's body wash, a truly repulsive discovery that added to the overall sense of neglect. As if the state of the room itself wasn't bad enough, there wasn't even a bin in the room, and the stench that hung in the air was nothing short of atrocious. In our desperate attempt to salvage the situation, we made our way downstairs to seek assistance from the front desk, but our wait for the receptionist to show up only added to the frustration. Upon finally receiving another room, my hopes were quickly dashed, as it turned out to be in even worse condition than the first. The disappointment was palpable, and it was abundantly clear that the hotel's staff lacked the basic courtesy and professionalism that one would expect from any accommodation provider. To make matters even more disheartening, it appears that a significant number of the positive reviews I'd seen before booking this hotel are likely fake, which only deepens my sense of betrayal. In the end, we were left with no other choice but to cut our losses and abandon our reservation. It was an utterly repulsive experience that deserves nothing less than a 0 out of 10 rating, and I would strongly caution anyone considering a stay here to think twice and explore alternative lodging options.

It is in the center of Zaandan, at the same time the center is very small, and 15 minutes from the station. There is a square with several businesses at the end of the street, mainly bars and restaurants. And otherwise there is the shopping street which goes back towards the station if you want to have breakfast or bread. The rooms were quite well organized, the bathroom was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, the linen was clean. As is often the case in dormitories it is very hot at night, we left all the windows open and the street was really quiet for sleeping. Check out is late which is great. Very warm welcome from the manager, he is very helpful and ensures that the stay goes well. There is no space or lounge to rest with sofas for example, there is also no dining room even though there is a small kitchen. So eating in bed is really not great and financially it means that you have to spend all three meals outside. No locker to store things or instructions to leave them while waiting for the train.
