De Groote Heide

The reception staff were just amazing and so helpful. We were given an upgrade when our TV didn’t work. Unfortunately there are major roadworks outside of the hotel so getting anywhere is difficult and tedious. The major let down was the cheap and tacky breakfast. Highly processed bread, cheap granola, scrambled eggs made from a mixture in a big box, fresh fruit that tasted months old. Cold food that should have been hot. Definitely the worst breakfast on our 6 week trip. The surrounding area outside the hotel looks unkempt and uncared for. Positives were good staff, good room, good supermarket nearby and walking distance to a major train station but you do feel like you are out in the sticks.

Good

The hotel was in a fairly central location, although it was a bit of a walk to most of the main attractions. The upside was that it was in a quieter area, making it a peaceful place to stay away from the crowds. The room was spacious by Amsterdam standards and had a modern, well-designed interior. Overall, it was comfortable and offered good value if you don’t mind walking a little to explore the city.
