I spent one night in Monnickendam for business and was recommended this hotel by locals. I'm very familiar with The Netherlands and know the whole country, from North to South. Rather than staying in Amsterdam I preferred opting for the cosy atmosphere of a Dutch village and wasn't disappointed. The hotel hosts a one-starred Michelin restaurant, therefore I suggest to book the whole experience. Parking wise is problematic as there are roadworks that make the access to the parking quite complex to explain. But parking in this time of the year is free so just get the chance to have a stroll in the city centre. The hotel doesn't have elevator: for those who carry a hold luggage just be aware. Personnel is lovely and welcoming, very chatting and friendly. The hotel amenities are in line with the XVII Century history of the building, but for a business trip is complicated, not enough plugs in the room, lighting is not well placed, there is no space at all on the bedside table and no space for the hold luggage. There is a closet indeed, but for a couple staying I'm wondering how can fit all in. I appreciate is a historical building but a few little improvements are encouraged. I would definitely come back.

A nice holiday house, but no staff at night.

We have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel, and our experience was terrible. The hotel is having extensive refurbishment works done , which appear to have run over into the start of the tourist season that attracts people from all over the world wanting to see the gardens and amazing bulb displays at Keukenhof, in addition to the attractions in and around Volendam itself. We went with an organised coach trip from the UK so did not get to deal with the hotel direct. Apart from the building work that was ongoing, with the usual noise and dust you would expect when you are sharing the hotel with builders and decorators, the view from our room was none existent, just a wall about 2-3 mtr's away from our bedroom window, with a bit of sky at the top. If I had booked the room direct with the hotel I would have visited reception and insisted on moving rooms. Maybe the hotel has different room rates for rooms with views and without views, and if you are considering staying there I would ensure you investigate this before you book. Breakfast and dinner was included in our trip cost, but our dinner offered no choices, other than take it or leave it, and after our first nights experience we decided to leave it and paid to have dinner out on the 2nd night. Breakfast was a fairly chaotic affair with a long wait for a cup of tea or coffee served by one member of staff from a single machine, in fairness to the staff they seemed to be learning on the job with little instruction or help. Hopefully the builders will finish and leave and a decent level of service will return, but I can't recommend this hotel currently based on our recent experience, I've added some photos to highlight the issues raised.

We chose to stay in Edam because it was central to all of the towns we wanted to visit in the Netherlands. We wanted somewhere charming, quiet, and less overwhelming than Amsterdam. This hotel gave us exactly what we wanted. Edam has a very peaceful vibe and so does this hotel. We stayed in a Junior Suite on the ground floor that was right on the canal. It felt very private and had a great view. The room was clean and decorated very uniquely with lots of colors. I really appreciated this! The free breakfast was in their lovely dining room. The croissants were especially good! We told them we needed parking in advance of our stay, and we were given a parking pass for a nearby parking lot. Which was free for us and worked out perfectly. This hotel is also very close to the bus station. It was a very easy 5-10 minute walk there so we could take a bus to Amsterdam for the day. We highly recommend this hotel and town!

Great hotel. Modern, clean with plenty of space in the room. Shower excellent. All amenities provided including a gym and pizza restaurant/bar downstairs. Rate was reasonable and very close to Noord rail station. The only issue is that Noord is a developing area and there is not much going on outside the hotel. A train trip is required to visit downtown Amsterdam which is 2 stops away. Great for business travellers.

The hotel was great. Very good quality of the equipment. But the services from the Reception was very unkind. The online booking was not great because they announced in Booking website they are not charge the credit card before the the date of the arrival. But they have tried a lot of time to charge my credit card during more than 1 week then they blocked my bank account because my bank though a tentative of fraud. I paid my bank to unblock and made a new credit card. They said it was to save the room... So they are not really in phase with the information giving on their profile in Booking.com. After that, at our arrival, they tried to charge more than expected my reservation (the amount they blocked in my credit card + the full amount of my entire reservation so more than 420 Euros)

If you get a GVB unlimited ride (metro, bus, tram, ferry) ticket, a bus will come every 5 minutes from the bus stop, which is a 2-minute walk away. 1 stop, door to door, and you will arrive in about 20 minutes. There is also convenient access to Schiphol Airport via South Station. Transportation convenience is very good. If you walk for about 15 minutes on a comfortable walking path to North Station, you will find a spacious square with a basketball court, the municipal government building, a supermarket and a food court (with Asian cuisine), so I didn't have any trouble eating. The police are right in front of the hotel, so there is no doubt that the town is safe and secure. I didn't see anyone who looked like a vagrant. However, I made a reservation based on advance information that there was a laundry room, but there was no laundry room. I think you mean laundry service. The lighting in the room is dim and not suitable for desk work. wifi is slow too.
