Review of The Fallon Hotel Alkmaar
Reviewed 2 Jun 2023
Hotel presents well but there is nothing behind the facade. Breakfast was expensive but choice was limited, hot food was cold, coffee was weak, bread was good. Our room was not cleaned on day 1 because, we were told, we did not put out a "Clean My Room" sign, something we have never had to do in any other hotel. The worst part was an overpriced terrible dinner. Cream of asparagus soup turned out to be watered-down cream with a few chunks of asparagus floating around in it. Despite few patrons, our main course had not appeared over an hour after entree but magically appeared within minutes after querying the delay. Lamb was seriously undercooked, despite being in a warmer for at least an hour. Even though some staff tried hard, most didn't. Sorry, can't recommend this hotel. Alkmaar is a nice place but there must be somewhere else to stay that is a great improvement on this hotel and somewhere with value for the prices charged.

What we experienced as very good is the level of service: no question seemed too much and every question was answered with a smile.
In addition, we enjoyed dinner, with a small remark: the layout was a bit too busy on the plate/too many different parts on a plate (I would reduce the number or use a larger plate): at the end there was a little mess on my plate.
What was also very good is the breakfast: generous choice, was neat and everything was replenished in a timely manner, friendly and cheerful service.
What we have experienced as good is the spacious room and bathroom (253). Although the bed takes up a lot of space, it was not disturbing once you are inside the room.
What we experienced as moderate is the degree of lighting, especially at breakfast: the amount of glass (windows) almost does not allow much light to enter, but if you also leave the curtains half closed, it is (to our opinion) as quickly too dark.
What we have experienced/seen as a point of attention: dirt in the air vents in the hotel room and many (limescale) stains in the bathroom. As soon as the sunlight entered the room, you could see it clearly.
And what is not pleasant to see/have to walk through are the smokers on the sidewalk. I understand that you would like to give them a place (nearby), but if you see that first on arrival …
Tip: make it clear(er) that parking the car directly in front of the hotel is not intended for guests . It was when the parking attendant walked in to ask if that was our car. And with the promise that we would park it immediately elsewhere, we avoided a parking fine. Perhaps the parking lot where we are allowed to park can be emphasized in the correspondence prior to visiting the hotel?
Room tip: Don't park your car at the front side of the hotel = exclusive for license holders

It certainly is a novel idea and although the staff were very friendly, I thought the service could be a little better. The cleaning was not up to scratch but manageable. I took the tour of the prison which was very interesting.

We had the most amazing time at this hotel. We were there for a weekend celebration and the entire staff were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. I have not stayed anywhere as friendly and professional. The food was also top class. Particular thanks to Gideon who always had a smile despite being so busy. And of course Senne for being so sweet whilst under a lot of pressure.

Some of the staff are lacking a smile.
Our table at breakfast not clean : crumbs...
We were asked to book a slot for breakfast for the availability of the Chef; the following, at the sue slot, when we asked for fried eggs we were told no activity in the kitchen, only scramble eggs as available on the table...
Rooms are nice, bed comfortable but no light curtains...only dark heavy ones to darken the room; so not very intimate as the people on the parking lots have a straight view into the rooms..
Good beers; nice service at the bar, staff available, courteous and smiling.
