This is a fantastic hotel if you’re planning to be out during the day - the building noise was, at times, awful and there’s no other place to be able to work from. A day of no water (known but not advised until the morning of the supply issue, and then only a notice in the elevators) meant no flushing toilets and no hand washing facilities - no alternatives were offered. My room was changed on the first day as the toilet roll holder was so badly positioned it stopped the loo seat lifting up - the room I was moved to had already had this fault rectified so it was a known problem they’d not sorted out in other Junior Suite rooms. Breakfast is good, the same every day, lovely coffee. I opted out of having my room attended each day and was rewarded with a drink from the bar each evening.

I do not have enough positive things to say about this hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful, the room was beautiful with great facilities, as well as being on a bus route into the centre of town. I would happily return and recommend.

Lovely stay
Overall my stay was good. Staff were friendly and attentive and were more than happy to have a chat. Rowan was very friendly and welcoming. They've only just opened up again after lockdown. so a few teething issues. I paid for breakfast but got a phone call 2 days in saying I said I didn't want breakfast anymore which was odd because I paid extra for all days. Then on the last day they didn't bring breakfast despite me telling them I needed it for 7am because of an early flight. I'm awaiting a refund for the last day. But generally good and will be back in future.

Pleasant
Safe but expensive very overated having stayed at B and b in France the night before for only 50 euros it made this hotel extremely expensive for what it was. Even ontbijt (breakfast) was extra. Its not even in town centre. Easy to find and nuce staff apart from grumpy ladies who prepared the breakfast. I wont stay again. Too expensive for what it was although excellent bed and pillows. It was also noisy being on main road.

Disappointed to arrive at hotel at 1630 only to find that the room would not be available until 1800. We had a call from the hotel in mid week but no message about rooms not being available due to being double booked for the PSV team. Eventually we got the key at 1850, were given a bottle of wine to say sorry for the delay. Got a good night's sleep and traded in the bottle of wine for two free breakfasts in the morning as flying back to UK.

Very spacious & comfortable hotel. Very clean & the staff very friendly speaking perfect English. Excellent hotel, I would recommend it, maybe the only possible fault is that it is a good 20 minute walk from the City Centre however has shops & bars nearby.

Overall this was a good experience. Rooms clean and spacious. The best part was the bar manager called Andre who was a really nice man. Nothing was too much trouble and even made us cocktails not on the menu. Really friendly and chatty man. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. Would recommend.

Decent hotel, but not near city center. The rooms was clean. Interior is dated and could be much better for a ****. Receprion was friendly, did not use the reastaurant for breakfast. Breakfast was not included in rate paid through Expedia.

Acceptable for a night's stay
Checking in was hassle-free. Room was spartan but clean and acceptable. Beds not exactly very comfortable but ok just for a night's stay. Hotel location was easy to find and complimentary parking was available. Bus stop just outside where you can catch the number 4 bus into town, in particular the cheese market on Friday mornings.

Golden Tulip
The hotel is about 25 minutes driving time outside of Amsterdam. It's located in a town with many shops and restaurants, a nice walking/biking path, good nature and waterways, and even a 15 minute drive to a sunny beach. If you need to be in Amsterdam, but prefer to stay outside of it, this is a great location. It's family friendly and pet friendly as well. Free Wi-Fi when I was there. In all, I was pleased and will return again.
