Reviews for Pension Onassis
Review 1:great location,lovely apartment,wonderful breakfast,they treated us like family,spoiled my daughter,and picked us up from trainstation,and dropped us back.
Review 2:There is very deep stairs so for those who has some problem with legs it is not good choice.
Review 3:Onassis is more like a home than a hotel so for those who likes small and comfortable hotels this is perfect choice. Owners were really nice and atmosphere is very warm. I had family room and it was really huge. Location is perfect.
Review 4:The selling point why choose this place was that they had a sauna. Unfortunately it was not on when we got there, and the owners did not want to start it just for us. Too bad. If you choose this place, make sure to let them know in time that you want to use the sauna.
Review 5:The breakfast was delicious and plenty.
Review 6:15 mins from the train station, but you're having a walk near the beautiful canal! And you're enjoying windmill view while walking.
Review 7:I really enjoyed my stay here! Comfortable accomodation. Hosts were friendly and helpful and gave me a ride to the train station with my bag when I was leaving. Plus a lot of recommendations. Bedroom is comfortable and big. Breakfast is great. Really close to the city centre of Alkmaar in a friendly district. Plus they have 2 amazing dogs!
Review 8:Fortunately we had a GPS as the one way system meant it was a rather round about way to get there. The rain bucketed down which is apparently quite normal so wet weather gear required as it is easier to walk from here to town than to drive.
Review 9:Very close to centre of town. Spacious apartment and friendly owners. Amazing breakfast! We were able to park right outside the house. Plenty of good restaurants within 10 minutes walk.
Review 10:The towels and linen were not of the best quality. The towels had a musty smell.
Review 11:The suite was great, although in our case unnecessary, as we were in Alkmaar for only one night. Location was just a 3 minute walk into the centre.
Review 12:WiFi a bit too weak on the second floor. And in hot weather rooms on the second floor get stuffy.
Review 13:Owners are absolutely fantastic!!! Friendly and accommodating, helpful and made us feel like part of the family. Gave us lots of advice on local gems and hidden treasures. And swimming pool is a great extra!
Review 14:Out of town but 10-15 mins walk to cheese market. Pillow is a bit soft.
Review 15:The room is large with some decoration, but some areas like kitchen is a bit old style and not so equipped and clean. Toilet is large but shower area has no curtain or glasses to waterproof. Breakfast is quite large portion.
Review 16:It seems like they redid a regular house to be a wonderful bed and breakfast. It seems like every detail was well considered, and the entire place was just very comfortable and nice. I don't know how they could have done better.
Review 17:Great location close to city center, very comfortable. I was traveling alone and the owners were very helpful, went out of their way to make sure I was at home. As a single traveler this made me feel wonderful.
Review 18:Would prefer payment with card
Review 19:Breakfast (awesome), transfer from and to train station, availability of swimming pool, discussions with the owners, price (with respect to other hotels), does not give a hotel feeling
Review 20:Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was great. The small town of alkmaar was adorable. A great place to stay! Extremely reasonably priced!
Review 21:Peter and Tina were excellent hosts, very friendly and went above and beyond to make me feel at home. They bought in breakfast especially for my preferences and even gave me a lift to the station! Great location, easily within walking distance of the centre.
Review 22:Small criticism, but do like crispy bedding, heavier quilt and 2 nice pillows, feather preferred, but welcome and service outweighed, but would still love! Site needs to highlight need for cash payment, which was embarrassing when we needed reminding and sourcing.
Review 23:Coffee provided despite arriving too early arrival Genuine, wonderful, hard working hosts. Happily volunteered to take us to the station on 2 occasions, including our host, Peter being willing to forfeit his Sunday football!
Review 24:The owners were very gentle with us and our welcome was as frendly as we always been part of the family. Our short stay was great indeed, we enjoyed very much relaxing at the pool after a walking day.
Review 25:Nothing! It was all good!
Review 26:This was an excellent place, very close to the centre of Alkmaar with all the facilities you could ask for , including an indoor swimming pool and Sauna. Our hosts, Peter and Tiny were extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. The room was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished and the breakfasts were delightful. Peter gave us helpful information of places to go and visit and even loaned us bikes to explore the local area, including the beautiful old town of Alkmaar. We had a first class holiday.

Review 43:good people who are willing to help and suggest good places to visit in holland. good breakfast
Review 44:Wifi went off when I was Skyping and stayed so until I leave.
Review 45:A big mansion with great decor, situated near a beautiful old windmill (museum). Lovely hosts with two dogs. I was backpacking on my own and the host kindly offered to drive me to the train station. My bf and I were supposed to come together but he had an emergency at work, yet he deeply regretted not coming to Alkmaar to see the dogs and cheese. :)
Review 46:We could only stay three night;-)
Review 47:The owners are very accommodating and will make great efforts to ensure a pleasant stay and they addressed any concerns we may have had, no matter how trivial.

Review 50:we liked everything.
Review 51:The location was great. Close to centre. Stayed in family room which was lovely. The owners were so nice and friendly. The breakfast was very enjoyable.
Review 52:Only one small thing: the DVD player didn't work properly. But that didn't really affect the overall greatness of our stay.
Review 53:The family room we had was amazing! Spacious but cosy too, the breakfast was rich and delicious and being able to have a swim at almost any time added an extra touch of luxury. We loved it! Thanks a lot!
Review 54:We really liked the fact that the hotel had a lightweight buggy for a baby that could be borrowed for the day. The availability of the high chair for the baby was very useful. The temperature of the swimming pool was perfect for the baby and the offer of heating milk for the baby was useful if we had been feeding the baby formula instead of breastmilk. It was helpful that there was a kettle available to make hot drinks ourselves.We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights and both rooms were very comfortable. We appreciated the offer of being taken to the station by the hotel owner and picked up from there.
Review 55:Very service-minded couple that runs the place. They took care of us in the best possible way. Excellent breakfast. Very spacious room and the kids loved the swimming pool.
Review 56:They took my baggage out of the room without asking before the check out. Also they don't accept credit card. They don't have a good Wi-Fi in the room.
Review 57:In general the room was comfortable and the breakfast delicious.
Review 58:Unlike other B&Bs I have stayed in, there is only one common sitting area outside your room and the owners spend a great deal of time there. This sometimes gives you the feeling you are infringing and is less condusive to just sittinig and relaxing. While non-smoking inside, the hosts smoke just outside the doors and it lingers in the common area and hallways.
Review 59:The location of this bed and breakfast was outstanding, a few steps away from the central city of Alkmaar. The owners, who live on-site, were very friendly and helpful. They provided advice when needed and were generous with their time. The breakfast was delicious.
Review 60:Location is excellent, right at the city centre, also close to therailway station. Breakfast was great. The couple who runs the pensionwas extremely nice and helpful. It was quiet and calm, we could sleeppretty well, we did not even notice the other guests, although thetoilet and bathroom was shared in case of our room.
Review 61:WiFi was very weak. No signal was detected upstairs.
Review 62:Hotel owners were really friendly, taking care of car parking and serving coffee too. Breakfast was also fine on a lovely table. Close to the city center and the exit of the highway.
Review 63:The owners are very welcoming and caring. They run the pension withpassion. All the details are chosen carefully, the roman design istasteful, not cheesy. The swimming pool is such a great chillout place!The neighbourhood is also very nice: calm, in a residential area, butvery close to the center part of town.
