We stayed there mainly for business. Rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and have all the necessary facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Breakfast is basic but sufficient, but is charged extra. I found this place to be rather expensive. It is in a nice area, in the seaside town of Wijk aan Zee, suitable for holidays.
We had a beautiful and very comfortable room called "999 roses" and enjoyed our two nights with our 3 year old very much. No elevator but stairs were fine. Parking on the site. Great location. Breakfast very good. We had dinner twice in the bistro and it was terribly slow and more variety for guests staying longer would be nice. Otherwise the food was very good!
We have always been good customers for the owner Imco Binnerts. When he was the chef at Excelsior in Amsterdam and after 1997 at his restaurants Bios in Alkmaar, Imko's in Ijmuiden and Vis&Co in Haarlem. And left good reviews here. After he opened this hotel and restaurant in Wijk aan Zee I decided to surprise my wife (a great fan of him) with a dinner for our anniversary and a room afterwards. At first they had no room and dinner without wine is...no dinner and without a room I would have had to drive back home after dinner. Two days later they told me by email that they had a cancellation and offered me a suite. Within 1 minute I booked the suite and a table for 2. Fortunately I did not tell my wife, because 20 minutes later they replied that the room had been taken via Bookings. Sorry, sir was all they could do. I think this is an appalling way to treat a loyal customer. If you offer a room and then don't keep it for 60 seconds....
We had a standard room so it was quite small. The room was very clean, but unfortunately there was no wi – fi in the room. Wijk ann Zee is a lovely small village so the hotel is close to the center and the beach. The parking spaces are quite limited at the hotel so we had to park in the town and then move the car in the afternoon. The breakfast was lovely. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The hotel is well located in the village of Wijk aan Zee, at walking distance from the sea-shore.
We had dinner at the casual part of the restaurant.
Imko Binnerts, the owner of the establishment and well known seafood expert , serves a superb 3 course dinner at only 30 Euro per person.
Try the catch of the day as a main course and especially the terrine of duck liver and slow-cooked duck leg as a starter.
You will be surprised of the quality of food and the ambiance in the restaurant.
