Clean room and friendly staff
Very clean and the staff was friendly. The view of the ocean was great. The room was a bit dated and did not look like the photos at all, but I was still happy. Would recommend and stay here again.

Super Stay!
Lovely room overlooking sea. Wide windows opened so you could hear the sea below. Room was new, clean and modern, Bathroom looked new and the facilities and location were super. We eat at Breakers restaurant on the beach which was a beautiful experience watching the sunset and enjoying the good food.

Very average
The room was old and the decor dated. The bathroom had a small bath and shower, which is also old in style but functional. The drains smelled in the bathroom which then went into the bedroom. The double bed was two mattresses put together, which made an uncomfortable lump and wasn't nice.The bed linen was fresh and lovely as were the shower gels and soaps. Was it value for money - definitely not.

There is a section of the hotel not renovated, which should not be operated at all. It is very old and in very bad condition for renting. We had to change rooms 3 times in order to get to the renovated part, which is much more modern and descent. Did not expect that for a 5 Star Hotel.

Dutch Beachside Classic
Beachfront Holland during Tulip season--doesn't get any better than that! We spent a little extra for the Oceanside room and it was worth the money. The unusual artwork by George van Herwaarde added uniqueness to the classic continental property. For those with security concerns, this hotel had a lockable storage closet in the room with a room safe inside! Very safe. Make a reservation for the Breakers Restaurant. Beautiful. Only downgrade was for a faulty main elevator but there were three other ones fully operational. Enjoy!

Beautiful beach views.
We came here for a wedding in April. The main hotel reception staff seemed a little jaded; not particularly helpful and a little off hand. This was the experience of us and a number of other wedding guests. One in particular had lost his jacket and phone but the reception staff were less than helpful. The room itself was spacious and clean with a fantastic beach view. We had two doubles joined together as a super king. One half seeemd in reasonable condition, the other was far too soft. They also supplied two enormous pillows which were far too big so lead to quite an uncomfortable nights sleep. The wedding celebration was held in Breakers beach bar. The staff here could not have been more helpful and considerate. The service throughout the meal was excellent and the food itself was delicious.

A secluded style hotel
The staff proved the highlight of this hotel as they were always very helpful, but otherwise this location provides nothing exceptional. The room was adequate, but the details seems glossed over in upkeep, although nothing to cause discomfort. Additionally, access to surround area by foot required a bit of a circuitous route through the parking lot so plan some extra time if visiting the area around the hotel. The restaurants at the hotel were excellent in the evenings, but the breakfast offering was dismal so I would recommend bringing food or searching it out elsewhere. Overall, this hotel provides a great location if you wish to simply stay there and relax, but annoyingly cumbersome if you wish to explore the surrounding area.

The service was excellent. The atmosphere in the hotel was marvelous, so nice for the holidays. Everything was great. Except that we had asked for a single king size bed and we got two single beds moved together with bedding for two singles. For a couple's weekend away that was a disappointment for a hotel of this stature.

Lovely Hotel - But!
Lovely hotel close to the beach, but a little disappointed with the bathroom. Cleanliness of the toilet especially, should be looked at! The size of the shower in the bath was tight for an average person size and the position of the shower head was in the wrong place. Thus making it very awkward to get in and out of the shower / bath by manouvering around the the shower door with no grip on the bath! With the size of the hotel and size of the car parking facilities - I fail to understand why we had to pay for parking at €30 a day. In my opinion guest should have this negated.

Lovely Position
Hotel right on beach so would be great in summer but as the hotel is so large I don't think I'd like to stay there then as I feel it could become very impersonal. Room was OK - two single beds pushed together. Would have liked a large duvet to cover bed rather than two singles. Also felt for a 5 star hotel it was missing the little personal touches - no tea and coffee making facilities, no free water etc. Ate in the Brasserie and Breakers; food was very good but felt staff were more welcoming in Breakers. Position of hotel is great with parking (which has to be paid for) but I feel that it is a little tired - worn carpets, damaged paintwork etc.

Best oceanfront hotel in Holland
We stayed for three nights in October 2014. This was our second stay there. The hotel is located right on the beach. I recommend reserving an ocean view room because these rooms are truly what they say they are: you will have a full, 180 degree, sea view. We had the windows open and listened to the waves at night. The beach is very wide and never crowded. One of the hotel's two restaurants (Breakers) is on the beach and feels like a modern beach house, with pale white wooden floors and a fire place. Food is excellent and so is the service. They have a breakfast buffet in the hotel, which is features the typical Dutch "stuff" like "hagelslag" (chocolate grains), poffertjes (mini pancakes) and Dutch cheeses. Fitness center is tiny but who needs it with a beach that provides miles and miles of walking/jogging routes. Indoor pool is nice, so is sauna and steam room. The rooms could benefit from some updating, but for us it was all about the view.

Nice location, lovely hotel
It is a lovely grand style hotel but without the pretentiousness. The rooms were comfortable and the ocean view lovely. Dreamy sunsets. Only complaint is breakfast is poor value for the cost...all buffet nothing special. Better to go into town for options, value and ambiance.

My wife and I have stayed at this hotel annually for many years on business. Although I would recommend it as a nice hotel I feel the rooms are getting a little worn and certainly is not the five star that they advertise. I will search for something different next trip.

Apalling Staff, Old hotel, Uncomfy rooms
The location of this hotel is fabulous! Right on the beach with a beatiful Beach house-Breakers. But the hotel is a huge disappointment. Its pretty tired & not well maintained. The lobby & receptions, & bar, restaurant areas are very flashy, but unfortunately the rooms are very old with appliances, heater not fully working etc. The staff is very rude. We stayed here for a conference, & at the same time the Dutch football team was also staying in this hotel. So the entire 5th floor was blocked for them. But we had arrived a day before, & the hotel management (by mistake or because of confusion) gave us a 5th floor room. We had no idea that the footbal team was visiting, &/or staying n the same floor. That night when i was returning to my room after my conference, at around 12 midnight, I took the lift to the 5th floor. And as i started getting out of the lift, there was this huge man dressed as the hotel staff came towards me & started yelling that I cant get off the 5th floor. And i said my room is on this floor. So he starts yelling go back down & take the other lift, cos you are not allowed. I was shocked! I am a guest at the hotel, & the hotel staff is yelling at me! So i calmly said, but why hasn't anyone told me till now. Why was there no sign board or signal at the ground floor directing guests to use the other lift? Anyhow the i did tell the front desk, & they were pretty useless.

Grand hotel, but expensive
Stayed here on a business trip to ESTEC. The hotel was excellent. Grand, luxurious, excellent service, great view, walking distance to Noordwijk downtown, etc. Just a few small complaints for future travelers: the breakfast was excellent, but expensive (€27.50!). The hotel has free wireless internet, but the signal was poor in my four-floor room. The hard-wired connection worked fine, though (with provided cable). There was a lot of confusion about parking. The cost is apparently €12.50, but we got a different story every morning about how to get out of the gate and if it's included in the room or not. At the end, my colleague and I both got charged a parking fee each day, even though we shared a car.

Not impressed.
Our room was not airconditioned, despite the description on the site. They eventually switched us, but made clear that that was an exceptional favor - and made us feel like we were somehow trying to cheat the system. But in their defense, they did change us. Parking is not free, it's 13 Euro. Shower drained poorly. Pillows are hard, stiff and uncomfortable. First room felt a little run-down, the airconditioned one was better. Policy on canceling reservations or changing them is 24 hrs, which is better than many Dutch hotels. Public areas looked very nice, but being put off by the experience with our room, we did not explore.

Very pleasant stay
We had a most pleasant stay at this hotel. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the room was spacious and clean. The breakfasts (for two) were excellent with many choices, however they were expensive if not included in the room price. They have a nice pool area and a small, although very functional, exercise room. We would definitely stay there again.
