"Lovely hotel with comfortable rooms and an excellent restaurant. Extremely well run operation. "

"Il Van der Valk di Hoorn credo sia l'hotel più efficiente del mondo. Pulito e confortevole. Al 14 piano un'area spa con una piccola piscina, una sauna e una palestra. Colazione a buffet strepitosa. Lontano dal centro raggiungibile in auto o in bici fornite dall'hotel. Ottimo ristorante in cui una sera abbiamo cenato. Se non volete pagare la colazione 21,5 euro ci sono 2 bar, al bar al primo piano c'è anche buon cibo. Nella struttura è presente anche un cinema e un casinò. In camera set di cortesi Rituals e phon, bollitore, macchina del caffè e frigo. Tornerò sicuramente nella mia splendida Hoorn e al Van der Valk. "

"Lovely quintessential Dutch charm. Great restaurants! "

"We are a family of 2 adults, 2 college students from Colorado, using the cottage as our home base for 10 Magical Days. We did day trips by car or train, coming home late to cook dinner each day. The cottage is on the lake which has a bike/walking path, with breath-taking views of IJsselmeer, migrating birds, sheep, country farms and greenhouses, and modern windmills, making for beautiful morning runs and evening walks. The accommodations worked perfectly for a family of four. The cottage is adjacent to the main house, and the owner was always helpful and interesting to talk with. The bathroom Room is separate from the Shower/Sink Room, and there is an additional Sink in the Master Bedroom. The Kitchen is well-equipped with two induction burners, and a combination microwave/convection oven. There are two large grocery stores in town, a few blocks from the cottage. The flower gardens in both the front and back of the cottage are beautiful.Our only difficulty was finding a laundromat suitable for simultaneous family loads; the nearby outdoor laundromat only had one washer/drier combo, which always seemed to be in use.
