Reviews
Love the beds and the bed sheets. Rooms relatively old, but clean. The restaurant is very nice and offers a good selection. Very easy check-in and check-out... fresh water and infused water stand infront of the reception. The location itself, well if you're looking for a quiet place or visiting the zoo is a jackpot. As I was visiting Delft and Amsterdam it wasn't the best choice, as you need a bus ride (4stations) to Rotterdam Centraal. Over the weekend expect longer waiting times
Decently priced for what's on offer. One of the locations that always has rooms available whenever you're in a pinch. Inherently not a great initial pitch for a hotel, however, the Van Der Valk standard of quality carries over (extremely comfortable beds, very hygienic allround and modern bathrooms).
overall a good hotel, restaurant waiters are friendly and food is great, except the chicken burger. stay away from the chicken. Breakfast was included and it had alot of choices. One downside of the hotel is that the queen bed is made of two single bed which is not very comfortable. the two single beds split during the night and I keep falling in the crack. I tried to change rooms but was not possible due to unavailability.
Worst hotel I’ve ever stay at. Some staff entered our room around 3AM then left. Then they called us on the room’s phone to tell me that there’s 3 people in my room that has 2 bed. Person on the phone tells me there’s there’s someone sleeping on the floor, which is me. Our group book the rooms here for a wedding nearby tomorrow and I was sharing a room with my parents. I decided to sleep on the floor due to my back pain. Somehow they found out someone’s sleeping on the floor and decided to talk to us about it that 3AM. Yes I’m currently still in the hotel, wide awake after being awoken by and stranger who entered our room without even knocking. Since I can’t sleep at all now I decided to share my story while laying down here on the floor waiting for sunrise. I offered the caller money for another room if that’s a problem. But apparently they want to bring me a bed for my comfort and decided best to talk to us at 3AM. Now I’m going to be sleepless and have a whole day of wedding to deal with tomorrow, I mean later today, that seems a bit uncomfortable. I’m still at the hotel unable to sleep. I’ve stayed at roach motels with actual roaches in bed that’s better than this because the roaches were more considerate and let’s me sleep through the night. Edit: My biggest question is how did they know I was sleeping on the floor? Was there cameras in the room?
We stayed here for one night as a quick stop between destinations. I really like all the Van der Valk hotels but during this visit there were a few complications I'd like to talk about. Upon entering we were greeted and we checked in. After we went to our room and opened the door we found that one of our two rooms still looked like someone was staying there. We went back down and we were moved no problems whatsoever. The new rooms were clean as expected. The dinner in the restaurant was alright. The menu wasn't super extensive but it was alright. I myself currently have a special diet and the staff helped me find something I could eat. The people I went with ordered from the menu, the following items: Ribeye Steak, Spareribs and regular steak. There were a few things to say about this. The Spareribs were, according to the person that had them, slightly dry, they also did come with a not so complementary sauce. The steak was requested Medium but turned out a little overdone but the person that had it did not mind it. The Ribeye at last, was somewhat disappointing, and we suspected that it wasn't even Ribeye. According to the menu, it should have come with a mushroom sauce which it didn't. It should have also come with fries. Instead, one portion was served for both the regular steak and the Ribeye. The drinks were fine but took a bit to serve, a beer took over 15 minutes but the staff fixed it and the person that ordered the beer got two beers as a sorry from the staff. Everything else was fine and the staff was nice and understanding. The breakfast was as expected, fresh bread and warm croissants. It was really nice and enjoyable. This stay was a bit different from what we usually can expect from a Van der Valk hotel and thus not one of the best locations I've stayed at, but everything was still completely acceptable and fine.
"Modern and quiet hotel next to Diergaarde Blijdorp with beds so comfortable that you have to set your alarm clock."
