Hilversum Vacations from $1,158

Large rooms, nice breakfast, within walking distance to everything. Beautiful historic building

This may be one of the finest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff bent over backwards to make us happy. The day we checked in, the clerk noticed on my passport that it was my birthday. She was charming wishing me a happy birthday. Then two minutes after entering our room, she called to make sure everything was ok. Then about a half hour later, she personally brought to the room a dish a chocolates and a hand-written card welcoming us and again wishing me a happy birthday. The whole staff was like that throughout our whole stay. I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

The room I had was to close to the reception and was quite noisy from staff and guests. The guests going by my room also dusturbed me. My windows opened to a side road which was very noisy if kept open. The toilet and shower room.were very clean but there was water every where because the shower did not have a proper enclosure Not a great first experience.

My husband, son, and I stayed here for four nights since our daughter was getting married in Amsterdam. What we loved about the hotel: very friendly staff, quick walk to the Nine Streets area, delicious breakfast each morning (I will miss the coffee machine), helpful front desk staff - particularly with arranging a taxi so we could get to the train station. We 3 stayed in a room and had enough space to walk around the room and keep suitcases on the floor. If my friends were asking for hotel recommendations, I would HIGHLY recommend the Catalonia Vondel.
