The place is amazing, with a beautiful and charming decoration; its like going back in time! The staff are great; kind, really helpful and professional. The breakfast is simply above expectation, so is the coffee too! The rooms are confortable and clean, with great beds. The massages at the Spa are really great! I would really come back!!

Duin Kuinberg is an Excellent hotel. The building was a country estate of a wealthy Amsterdam merchant in the 1600s. The building was greatly rebuilt in 1907, so that most of what you see is 1907 architecture. The interiors and furnishings are equally lavish as the exterior. It is not a castle. It was a weekend home of the Renaissance rich. Our room was on the 2nd floor and small, but nicely appointed and cozy with new fixtures. Breakfast buffet was excellent. The spa is very nice and open to all guests. They have sauna, steam room, IR chamber and hot tub. A rent car is almost mandatory to get here. The hotel is surrounded by gardens and the gardens are surrounded by national park. Lots of good woodland strolls, vigorous walking, and full scale hiking available.

I had a couple of small dissatisfactions: The room door does not automatically lock when you leave. You must present your keycard from the hallway side in order to lock it. I didn't figure this out till halfway through the stay. Which means my room was totally unlocked most of the time. Every time you leave the room, the wifi logs you out and you must sign in back every time with name and room number. These were minor annoyances. Overall this is a beautiful historic hotel, well maintained with new amenities. It has the best of old world and modern world. Highly recommended.

Beautiful location, beautiful building radiating the allure of elegance, finesse, and refinement. The restaurant was fantastic! We were really impressed by all the plates. The room was comfortable. The bed was very comfortable.

Please don't use 2 single duvet on double beds, it was not really convenient as a couple that we had to "fight" with the duvets in order to hug during sleep. Double bed = single piece double duvet, unless the client asks for something different. Secondly, I did not really aesthetically appreciate the fake fireplace nor the fake candles. The estate is luxurious, the allure is that of refined elegance, and finesse. Only real wood fire should be in the fireplace, only real candles should be lit. It is truly "off" to use fake electronic candles from China, while there are beautiful painting hanging on the walls!

A lovely place to stay with spacious, very clean rooms. It is next to a national park, giving a lot of options to discover the area. There is an ok restaurant to dine, good bar for 'after-dinner' drinks. Breakfast is expensive but offers very extensive and good quality options from cheese varieties, to ham/sausage, roast beef, Salmon, fruits, some vegetables, porched or scrambled eggs, different types of musli, dried fruits, nuts, fresh squeezed juices. The interior is lovely, you can really feel the atmosphere. Plenty of parking options. Staff very friendly and helpful

The pillows have been so uncomfortable that we had bad sleep despite comfy mattress. Very long waiting time in the restaurant, beware of that (we had the first dish around 30-40 min later after we sat). The total price of the stay was a bit too high but this can be due to us staying during Easter period

Very nice hotel in a beautiful country-side sounding but close to town. Excellent if you have a car. Not really convenient if you have to rely on public transport but train station is only 700m away. Large and well equipped rooms, though our windows are directly to other room separated only by about a 10m wide court yard so we have a keep curtains closed all the time. Beautiful sounding! OK breakfast but a bit pricy (24 eur per person). Quite some up and downs with stairs from reception to our rooms.

Curtains can not be open due to close rage to other windows. Car charging advertised but could not find. (we didn't ask though). Not convenient to access rooms for elderly or with heavy luggage.

The beauty and history of the facility is so impressive. The staff are wonderful. The included breakfast was top notch with many different and very tasty items to choose from. The room was very clean and beautifully decorated. Coffee and tea making ability in the room. Nice shampoo and body gel in the shower. The availability of electric bikes to rent on site is a stroke of genius. The grounds are well maintained and a pleasure to walk around. Comfortable seating areas in many places around the estate and building.

The beds are interesting. They consist of a mattress with on top of that a mattress topper of approx 2 inches. The bed is made with a flat sheet that comes loose during the night which eventually causes you to sleep on the mattress topper itself. Secondary to the mattress topper laying loose on top of the mattress it shifts and causes one person to have more on their side and you get stuck with a ridge to sleep on as the night progresses. The restaurant was beautiful, the presentation of the food amazing. Not so amazing was the price and quality of the food.

Grounds, manor and rooms all beautiful. Would suggest paying extra to stay in the house itself. The newer cheaper rooms are not in the manor but a separate building. Worth the upgrade. Breakfast was included and was excellent. Buffet style with lots to choose from! Dinner was also good.

Service was lacking with dinner. Needs some work to be more attentive to guests. Noticed it was not only just us being passed by with no service or direction for dinner when we came down. Didn’t even know there was a nice bar downstairs. Would have been nice to have this info and proper service.

Beautiful building! Lovely setting! Very good breakfast and excellent service during breakfast. The chef was amazing, handled the whole station singlehandedly because the other chef called in sick last minute. Dinner was good and in a lovely diningroom, but expensive and it took a long time for our food to arrive.

We were not advised to book a table in the diningroom, fully booked when we arrived. We were quite shaken up when we arrived as another car drove into us from behind earlier. Luckily we could order roomservice that night. Also; would expect waterbottels and hairshampoo and conditioner in an establishment like this. One had to ask, they provided us with the smallest amount...could barely wash and condition my hair. Could give a little bit more attention to small detail to spoil guests.

* The hotel is exactly as the photos and the castle ambience is wonderful * The personal was very friendly and helpful! * The park around the hotel is beautiful and the beach can easily be reached by bike, e-bike or vesper bikes. * The restaurant is good. Expensive but good. Worth to try the chef's suggestions and wine pairing. * Definitely recommended for a unique experience of staying at a castle!

* The contact prior to the visit (through booking.com chat) was poor, and we had to ask for clarification several times * Due to this miscommunication and lack of timely and detailed response we missed the chance of the massage appointment * There was NO warning to the fact that the spa is NUDIST. And you are expected to use the spa premises naked. Using a standard bathing suite is not allowed. This should be detailed in the spa section of the web site at least. * There is great room for improvement in activities proposals. In oher words, I expected more recommendations based on my questions before arrival, and better attention to detail in the answers.

It is a very nice location, also close to Amsterdam (ca 30min drive in the morning). Breakfast was nice. We had two rooms and they both were located in the old/ main building and had a view of a lake.

It seemed strange how the staff in the breakfast area didn't pay attention to the clients at all - I mean no one said hello. Also no-one took empty plates away, so you either had to pile them all up or put them to another table to have more space. This was very strange and unusual. Also we had two rooms, one room had drinking water in the room another didn't. So it seems, that one room was just ignored when preparing and cleaning the following day.
