Bottom line: this is a good hotel in a great location. Perfect distance between the train station and downtown. Easy 10-minute walk from station. Friendly staff. Building has interesting architecture and history. Breakfast was excellent. Very responsive to our questions via email. Room was spacious. A few small things: elevator is out, which is not great with heavy luggage, no fan in bathroom, and we were told they could coordinate off-site laundry, which really meant directing us to a service across town I could have looked up on my own.

It’s a cold, drafty building with some strange electrical setups: in order to keep the heat on the bathroom light had to be on all night. It’s a little hard to walk around the hotel because of the layout.

Aug 15, 2022
The room is terrible! No AC at a 34 degrees day, only small fan. The bed and pillows are so old and uncomfortable.
The entire place is barely a hostel, don’t know how they call it a hotel…and in such a high price. Stay away

Fijn hotel op perfecte locatie: rand centrum Alkmaar en parkeren voor de deur. Goede ruime kamers en een lekker bed. Kamers zijn sober ingericht, dus iets meer sfeer zou wat mij betreft wel kunnen :).
Al met al een heerlijk verblijf en prima prijs kwaliteit verhouding

Bed too soft
This was good, but sleeping was not easy. The bed is too soft. This is an old building totally fresh inside the room and modern, but still there are windows with a single glass. So in winter it's better to keep the warm airco, which is also a little bit noisy if you do like to sleep in silence.

Preis Leistung Top und in bester Lage
Wasserdruck in der Dusche echt dürftig. Zimmer sehr groß. Heizung überfordert, zwei zusätzliche Radiatoren standen aber bereit. Frühstück sehr gut, aber man muss vorher Zeit wählen.

Prima, centraal gelegen, hotel
Hotel is centraal gelegen, je loopt zo het centrum in. Parkeren op de binnenplaats is ook prettig. Het ontbijt is prima. De kamer was erg ruim. Hotel is wel erg gehorig. Kabaal van deuren die dichtvallen, mensen die op de eerste verdieping lopen. Badkamer is oke, maar de douche gaf een "zuinige" waterstraal.
