Very calm and relaxing with an eccentric mix of interiors and art, great location to cycle in and escape the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. We got a room with a balcony where we could watch the world go by. Everyone was very friendly and quite dry.

Unfortunately there are some works on the dike along the water front, there was no noise pollution though. In town the restaurants were not exciting, I think if they had an option for a cheese board with local cheese that would have been a game changer! We bought cheese from the local factory though and enjoyed it peacefully on our balcony. We were told the town was very touristy, but the majority of tourists were Dutch, so just added to our experience in the end.

Location is great and local restaurants and bars great

Not that it totally affected our stay, but there were refurbishments going on that we were not told about when booking. The Air conditioning did not work in our room we told reception on two occasions, on the second occasion, the night manager just responded by saying," it's what it is " not a very positive response I would say. I have stayed on other occasions and I would say the hotel interior is looking very dated , let's hope the refurbishment brings it up to date. I would just add finally that the ambience in the hotel was poor, but this may have been due to the refurbishments that were on going.

Well located, in the heart of Volendam. Recently the parking price changed to 25€ but the information we got when we initially booked the room was 15€. Very kind from his side, the manager settled it down for us.

This period the building from the sea side is under construction, they renovate several areas in the building. It can be a bit noisy, but it was not a real issue for us. Renovations should take place for a better service and facilities :) Apart from that, i would appreciate if the rooms were cleaned better.

A lovely hotel. Traditional in parts, and modern in others. My room was nice and very clean. However, I found the mattress too soft and uncomfortable to sleep on. Also, the tea / coffee tray was missing from the room and when I asked for it I was only given a kettle and a paper cup plus a couple of tea bags. (No milk, no coffee etc). I felt that it was a bit of an inconvenience for them.

Having a proper welcome tray of tea / coffee / milk / sugar / cups.

The location is great and the superior room with balcony and lake view was very nice and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great and included everything one could need. The pool and sauna area were very nice too, and we had it all to ourselves.

The balcony was not very clean, spiderwebs everywhere. We also paid extra for late check-out at 3pm but got disturbed twice because apparently not all staff was updated about this. In the end we paid quite a lot for what we got.

We had a lovely room with a king sized bed upstairs and a sofa bed for our child downstairs which gave us some privacy. The bathroom was clean and we had a balcony with a wonderful view of the lake. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the swimming pool was spotless. The artwork was incredible!

No bin in the bathroom! No towel rails in the bathroom! Stairs to the top deck were narrow as expected so suggest anyone who is significantly overweight or who has mobility issues thinks twice before booking.

Amazing artwork throughout the hotel ….. in lieu of payment for food & lodging by visiting artists over the years. Some directly onto the wooden panelling of the restaurant. Sea views. Free parking not far away.

Small room. Overpriced for what it was. Also had average restaurant meals. Definitely not value for money. Our room #53, was near some sort of exhaust system for the hotel. The noise of this, coming through the fan vent in the bathroom was quite loud & very annoying. It was on for most of the day time ….. and couldn’t be turned off by us. When we returned to the room around 9.30 PM it was off ….. but recommenced again early the next morning. It was a buzzing noise in the bedroom and “ rumbled “ through the bedroom wall & bed. Reception staff advised they would be “ looking into it “ ……. BUT NO OFFER of compensation, a drink, a snack, a coffee …… anything at all ! Very poor customer service …… could easily have been avoided.

Fabulously quirky hotel. Great staff all round. Spacious room with good facilities. Sea view from room/balcony is exceptional. Great little touches in the room like a safe, fridge, fly screen fitted to balcony door, and a fan. Outstanding breakfast buffet. Location was spot on.

No refills on bottles of water (only got it on 2 out of 5 days). Shower gel empty after day 4. Our room was on the second floor and the balcony as well as overlooking the sea (which was beautiful) was also very close to an air con unit on the next building's roof, which made sitting outside very uncomfortable due to the noise. With the balcony door open we had to turn up the TV because of the constant buzzing noise - very annoying. Couldn't use the balcony for long. Guess we got unlucky with the room at the corner.

The Hotel Spaander is a place to fall in love with. The artpieces skattered on the walls of the old hotel tell the history of this place but also the history of Volendam. The people are very friendly. The views on the IJsselmeer are superb. What can I tell more: I certainly come back and bring my wife next time. Thank you.

Nothing.

Room was quiet and pretty big. We stayed in "retro room", which simply means not refurbished lately, but it was ok, we knew what to expect as it was visible at the pictures while booking. The wellness facilities- swimming pool and saunas were included in the price, what we found great. Not many guests used them, so we had it practically just for us. We also used the parking next to the hotel, we expected it to be very busy as some of the streets in the vicinity seem to be pedestian zone only, but surprisingly it was not a problem to find a spot just in front of the hotel.
