"Ein Stern ist selbst zu viel!!! Achtung - Betrug!!! Das Boot was angeboten wird gibt es zwar aber wird ausschließlich bei booking angeboten. Wir standen vor nichts in Zaandam und mussten erst da hin fahren von Expedia aus bis wir Ersatz bekommen haben. Da hatten wir bereits 25,-€ Bahngeld bezahlt, was Expedia nicht interessiert hat. Wir hatten einen Tag vorher gelesen das es an dem Standort nicht existiert und am Anreisetag sofort Expedia kontaktiert. Die Kommunikation hat gut geklappt, nur...

체크인이 무인이라 해외 전화 발신 안되시면 불편하실거에요 유럽에서는 자주 있는 일이라 저는 괜찮았습니다
호스트분 정말 친절하시고, 아빠 건강때문에 엘베 꼭 필요하다고 하니 1층방을 주셔서 편하게 이용했습니다. 위치는 기차역 코 앞이고, 어디든 그냥 편히 다닐수있습니다. 욕실도 넓어요. 건식 아니라 편했습니다. 침대도 크고 편해요. 다시 돌아온다면 여기서 또 묵을겁니다.

Charming dutch property with narrow stairs. Centrally located in Zaandam with very convenient access to shopping, restaurants and only a 10 minute walk from the railway station. The staff were so very helpful and responsive.

There's no way you can stay in a genuine centuries-old castle without spending a fortune unless you come here. It's a phenomenal find. To climb up a stairway designed for sword fighting, to wander grounds and gardens that are being tended in ancient fashion, it's just a one-of-a-kind experience. Yes, it's a hostel, and you'll be sleeping in bunk beds possibly with three hundred teenage bicyclists (though they do have family rooms) and yes the rooms can feel a little spartan albeit very clean....

The room is clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even allowed me to check in early as I was a weary traveler. You get excellent breakfast and dinner options right there. In the hotel. Check in was easy, especially with the phone system. And not having to deal with door keys. Thought room was clean and quiet. I had a good rest and was recharged for my journey highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed there for 5 nights. The hotel is about 3 minutes away from the Zaandam station and If you go to Amsterdam by train, it takes about 10 min to arrive to Central Station. The room was clean and comfortable. You have housekeepping service upon request or if you stay there for 5 nights. They have lockers at the front desk. There is a grocery store in front of the building (Albert Hein), restaurants, and stores. I would definitely stay there again because location is excellent,...

The staff were amazing! Very helpful, friendly and kind. The room was very clean. Breakfast was a traditional Dutch breakfast. My only suggestion would be for a hair dryer to be in the room. It was a hassle to always go ask to use one.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have free guest laundry service at the ground floor (-1) which fits our needs. Free coffee and tea and upon request for more. Bathroom is clean and high basin for tall people like us is perfect.
