I chose this hotel as I wanted to be in the Amsterdam area but not in the city and it was very reasonably priced and had free car parking.
The hotel is located in the suburb of Zaandam and is one of the more modern B&B hotels and at the time I stayed there in June 2022 was undergoing renovations to transform the rooms from their former Ibis Budget style rooms to the better, I think B&B style rooms.
The hotel has a modern look and when I arrived it looked to me that it was kind of a life-size Lego building and that they had run our of the grey bricks and used some red, blue, white and yellow bricks here and there.
Check in was easy and the man on duty at the time was very friendly and informative and the lobby and café area seemed like a nice place to spend some time and there was also a small outside seating area.
The room as expected for a B&B property was small but functional, clean and modern with a comfortable bed, small side tables, some hanging and shelf space, wall mounted TV and a very small desk and padded stool. The bathroom which looked brand new was also small but functional and from the floorplan of the building on the back of the door appeared to be the main area that had been renovated enclosing the open shower from its former Ibis days into an enclosed room with the wc and vanity and the room was serviced each day.
.The only downside to my room that because of the renovations the air-conditioning wasn’t working which luckily wasn’t a huge problem during my stay.
One of the main reasons I picked this hotel was the free parking which was plentiful and didn’t have any issues finding a spot each night of my five night stay.
The location like most B&B hotels is in a semi commercial industrial area and there wasn’t much within walking distance except for another hotel and a Shell petrol station but there were plenty of other options a short drive away.
I used the hotel as a base to explore the areas around Amsterdam from Zaandam to Den Helder, Delft, Gouda and The Hague and found that the hotel and its location were perfect for this.
Would happily stay here again.
