Amrâth Hotel Alkmaar

Gedateerd. Oudbollig. Doorgezakte bedmatrassen. Piepende bedvering. Oude dikke kussen. Geen smart tv. Lelijk uitzicht personeel vriendelijk maar niet hartelijk. Na zo'n twee nachten waren we uitgeput. Nooit meer. Prijs kwaliteit ondermaats. Heeft totaalrenovatie nodig.

非常好，出差

Goed locatie/nette badkamer/geen airco/wel kleine ventilator/hoge ramen daardoor zie je weinig wanneer je zit/17,50 om je auto een paar uur te parkeren/ontbijt was o.k maar niks speciaals en automaat koffie.

super

Gut gelegenes, ruhiges und sauberes Hotel nahe des Stadtzentrum von Alkmaar. Frühstücksbuffet ausreichend und das frisch gebackendes Brot ein Traum. Parkplätze, auch wenn man keinen Hotelparkplatz gebucht hat, ausreichend in näherer Umgebung vorhanden. Stadtzentrum zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Matratze gut. Badeort Egmond aan Zee 11km entfernt und per Auto in 10min erreichbar.

Al vaak geweest, maar dit keer kregen we een upgrade. Hele ruime suite, we hebben heerlijk geslapen! S avonds aan de bar nog een drankje genuttigd, s morgens een heerlijk ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel en de ligging tussen het station en het centrum is ideaal. Wij hebben weer genoten en komen zeker terug!

This hotel is in a great location, within an easy walk into the charming old town. The front desk staff were super friendly and always cheerful, even though they doubled as bartenders in the very busy lobby bar. They smiled through it all and checked us in fairly quickly. The lift was large & swift. The hallway carpeting was low so luggage rolled easily. Unfortunately, the hallway carpeting & walls were dirty and the area smelled of cigarette smoke, even though the signs clearly stated "no smoking." The room was depressingly dark at night, even with all the lights turned on. It was so dimly lit that we couldn't even see the black light switches in the headboard for turning on the nightstand lamps--not that those helped, as the room was still dark even with all the few lights on. It was bright in daylight, though. The room also smelled of must and stale tobacco. The decor was sparse and worn. The carpet was dirty, especially at all edges. The bed was comfortable, though, and had power outlets at each nightstand--perfect for 2 people to charge devices at bedside. There was a minibar, tea kettle, coffee pot, cups, faucets, iron, and ironing board. The bathroom had a tub & separate shower. The tile grout had some mold, which needs a good scrubbing. The water pressure was ok and the hot water stayed hot. The towels were small and thin. The wall-mounted magnifying mirror was a nice touch, as were the washcloths (not so common in Europe). The WiFi was strong. It was an ok stay but the room was definitely not 4-star.

Perfectly placed hotel for all local amenities. Great view of canal and park opposite. Easy to walk to rail station and town. Very polite and helpful reception and breakfast staff. Housekeeping staff could learn to smile and return greetings to guests. Breakfast was well prepared and plentiful. All tastes catered for. Room slightly dark due to small window and dark furniture. No paintings or wall art in the room. Despite these easily fixed minor things we will return and will next time hopefully stay in a front facing room with a balcony, not one at the back of the hotel .

The hotel is close enough to the center and using a map will show you that different bridge entrances to the center allow you to walk most places fairly quickly. Positives, excellent reception desk that’s manned 24 hours. That’s a big improvement over many places these days. Rooms pleasant, if rather sterile, Clean but very hot in the summer - see attachment of rather strange posting of how the air conditioning does (or doesn’t work). They seem to be busy and while I skipped the breakfast there were signs in the (world’s nosiest) elevator that at busy times breakfast times are assigned. That might not suit many. While I found the front desk very friendly the cleaning crew were a little less nice. When I returned at 1.30 p.m. one afternoon they wanted to clean the room. Did I mind leaving? I had something to do, could they come back later? Did I mind leaving? I got the message and let them have the room. There is a bar. I never saw anyone using it, but again a good benefit in a hotel like this.
