We had a two night stay here. Due to covid a lot of restrictions apply. But the Hotel manages to still give a good experience.

We had two times dinner and two times breakfast. The dinner was good, decent portions. Not cheap. But nog (overly) expensive either.

Breakfast has really slimmed down due to all the restrictions. No toaster, very limited supply of condiments. It is too bad but understandable. They still have quite a variety of breads though, which is nice. Still eggs cooked to order and they have pancakes etc.

Rooms are decent, maybe a bit dated but all in all nog too bad. Some noises from the outside can be heard very well, but not from inside the hotel.

Fitness, swimming pool and wellness are open.

All in all the experience was not too bad. We all understand the restrictions we have to live with.

Every time I'm on business trip in The Netherlands I stay in Van der Valk and I can't fault anything, clean, great service, good food, convenient location.... But. Single use paper cups in the rooms??! REALLY? Nowadays when there is so much talk about ditching single use wherever we can? Surely chains like that should lead the way and stop that. This was bugging me for a while and with every trip I hoped it changed, unfortunately not. C'mon Van der Valk! Surely guest will feel more at home when drinking from proper mugs without polluting!
I take 2 stars off because of that!

When checking out I was charged for breakfast over a period of two weeks.
Although I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, the receptionist was unwilling
to correct the invoice. It was not possible she said, because the billing was 'digital'.
She was not willing to check the daily breakfast attendance list.
The rooms are OK. However the mattress showed stains. The hotel has a certain
reputation.
