Reviews for Van Der Valk Hotel Almere

Review 1:None!

Review 2:The room and the bathroom are spacious and comfortable. No weird smells or srazy colours. All equipment works properly. Very comfy bed and pillows. The room corresponded to my special requests 100%.

Review 3:Nothing, only problem is getting a room its often fully booked.

Review 4:Fantastic rooms and service could not ask for more. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice.

Review 5:wifi in the room was unreliable and dropped frequently. No good connection to public transport, and taxi (showed up 20' late) is 15€ to get to railway station.

Review 6:spacious room, new & modern, nice breakfast

Review 7:You have to pay for a baby cot.

Review 8:The rooms are huge!!! We just loved it and our 7 months old baby even more! Very silent rooms, big TV, perfect bathroom. The hotel restaurant is just delicious and the staff in the restaurant very friendly. They love babies and children!

Review 9:Taxi ride - and all taxis expensive in Netherlands - from train station No Genius late check out

Review 10:Beautiful location next to canal - quiet, peaceful, tranquil. Large hotel - impressive entrance. Really nice check in staff Lovely room looking onto canal Bath big enough for two - separate shower Cool bar with terrace

Review 11:did n't like is a big word, but floor heating in the bathroom is lovely.

Review 12:the hospitality of the staff, really great and the excellent breakfast. also the bed was perfect.we slept really well.

Review 13:The hotel is to far from city centre and if getting a taxi I urge you call the hotel and get them to call one will cost you a hell of a lot cheaper.

Review 14:The hotel was lovely would come back.

Review 15:preferably to have one double bed, rather than 2 single beds combined. the room was sort of dated

Review 16:the heated swimming pool was nice the breakfast was ok.

Review 17:Not one thing to dislike

Review 18:What a surprise! Almost 6 star luxury. Decor beautiful and I maculates. The dinner was like a 5 star restaurant. Would definitely recommend staying here, and will definitely be returning.

Review 19:Unless you have a royal suite, there's no room service available. If you do have the suite, ANY service is 10 Euro If you book via Booking.com, they refuse to alter your reservation in the system (though they can). You have to do it yourself online ...

Review 20:Very modern, very comfortable, very quiet Very good shower Very close to city centre and the freeway Very good food and good portions (in the restaurant)

Review 21:Our problem was with the dining room on the evening we arrived. My granddaughter who is in her mid twenties, ordered a fish meal, but when served it was incorrect, she is allergic to gluten and as the meal given to her had peanut sauce was unsure what was in the sauce. The waiter told her, rather flippantly that he would take it back, but the fish would have to be cooked and would take between 15-30 minutes. The Head Waiter came to see us and to be honest was not much better in his approach, asking what we wanted him to do about it, and mentioned that the waiter should have told us that they would take ours back so that we all ate at the same time. Had this been conveyed to us it would have helped with her decision. We travel to The Netherlands several times a year and have stayed in other Van Der Valk hotels in the past and have had a very good experience. It was unfortunate that the waiter seemed to fail to listen properly and then seemed to think it was a bit of a joke.

Review 22:Large size bedroom and bathroom, very clean. Food good, despite the incorrect meal being served at dinner. Good choice of dinner menu and breakfast choice was excellent. Staff very helpful, with the exception of waiter in dining room.

Review 23:Everything was OK, so this hotel will be placed on my shortlist for future visits of this region

Review 24:Nice room(not that big as advertised in the description at booking.com), with a luxurious very complete bathroom. Very clean. Also large comfortable beds. Hotel is like most vd. Valk : Luxurious, good facilties, plenty of free parking places and perfect situated to mainroads. Staff was helpful, friendly and took care of easy speedy check-in and out

Review 25:Key card did not work and required a 5 minute walk back to reception... The bath was not clean. My contact details were used for junk email - all of which was in Dutch and so not easy to unsubscribe. The location was not convenient for restaurants. Another bland business hotel with superficial comfort to ensure a high rating.

Review 26:Warm and generous sized room. Friendly staff.

Review 27:The decor in the entire hotel is black & white with accents in a particularly vile shade of purple. Black net curtains in our room. Cheap, vulgar, 'Modern Bordello'. Soulless and horrible. There was a large disgusting stain on our carpet. Far too expensive for what it is: a cheap hotel pretending it's not.

Review 28:Location was perfect for us. We liked the walk-in shower and the large bath tub.

Review 29:Would've appreciated hotel collection from train station, maybe this is a service to look at?

Review 30:Courteous staff, very clean and comfortable rooms and lounge area. We will definitely be staying again soon....

Review 31:Unfortunately this Hotel does not provide room service unless you stay in one of their Suites. When you do stay at the suites, hotel reception gets quite paranoid about who their occupants are. When we checked out at one of their suites, they made us wait till the chamber maid had throughly checked the room before allowing us to leave. Whether it would of been a normal room or a suite that shouldn't have happen. I don't think this is normal protocol. It felt like an intrusion to our privacy.

Review 32:Most of the ratings given are Good or Excellent.

Review 33:Pillow not comfortable, found spider net on window but it was cleaned by room service once complained, internet unstable

Review 34:Free parking, Big room, great restaurant, clean room.

Review 35:We didn't like the extra charges for breakfast. You should be able to put things on your room account having had a credit card swiped once (not daily). some of the gym equipment was broken. Sauna took a while to heat up & no bucket of water.

Review 36:Our room was enormous, comfortable bed & a good selection of TV channels. The bathroom was excellent with a fabulous shower. We enjoyed the gym, sauna & pool.

Review 37:I have stayed at this hotel twice two years apart. I was very impressed with everything the first time round and decided to stay there again. I was not disappointed in any way. The food is excellent the rooms are clean modern and spacious. The staff are polite friendly and very helpful. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit Almere.

Review 38:Can't find anything to complain about... the interior design is lovely but you do need to like the colour grey.

Review 39:The rooms are the biggest we have seen so far and the bathroom was fantastic. Swimming pool was at a very good temperature and everything was very clean. Breakfast had a wide choice of foods with 'to go' cups for the coffee so that you can bring one along with you which is a nice detail.

Review 40:Concierge at the reception explained us more than once that the room had a double bed and not two single beds. He had a really hard time understanding how two males can form a couple. Was quite funny, though.

Review 41:We've had the same room for three years now (by pure coincidence). It looks the same and feels the same - which is actually quite good! Nothing bad to say about the room or hotel in general. Excellent breakfast! Lots to choose from. Takes about 20 minutes to drive to RAI. We were in Amsterdam for IBC and we will definately stay at this hotel next year as well.

Review 42:Couldn't get wifi to work on either Iphone or the computer in the room. It worked ok in the lobby and restaurant. All signage at the front desk was in Dutch (I realise that I was in The Netherlands but…)

Review 43:Modern, clean and comfortable.

Review 44:In Some places (outside the bar) the internet did not work

Review 45:Very nice hotel, excellent facilities, very well decor, amazing delicious food - highly recommended !!

Review 47:cleaning,resting is good

Review 48:de beds are slight;y to soft and in a double bed 2 matrasses which moved sideways creating space between 2 persons. Not comfortable

Review 49:excellent rooms, Clean Service of the employees free parking

Review 50:I was disappointed that there wasn't room service available 24hr's a day

Review 51:I stayed at the Almere Hotel this week, the staff were friendly and helpful. The accommodation was excellent, very clean and comfortable. I've stayed in 5* accommodation around the world, which hasn't been as well equipped. I will certainly be back soon....
