グランド ホテル アルクマール, アルクマール

Lovely hotel, staff very helpful. Not the hotels fault but the church bells go off all night long so bring earplugs!

Great location. Lovely heritage building. Good modern refit. Very good breakfast included. Fresh, helpful staff. Loved wandering the tiny streets& canals of Alkmaar. Cheese market Summer Fridays only. Only downsides- I thought we had filtered for private car parking but it was in a garage a short drive away. Also, the addition of 'local tax' AND a 'city tax' to the bill was confusing. Tiny amounts but the hotel should inform hotels.com of what to expect. FYI Grand Hotel - Various lamps/bulbs were out in the room & the coffee maker sprayed hot water.

Alkmaar was fantastic and the hotel was very nice and ina great location. Terrific breakfast. Public parking very close nearby. We were there for the Saturday market, for Shopping Night, and for the Blues Music weekend. Great fun! And such a great base for exploring North Holland too

Perfectly located in central Alkmaar. Beautiful hotel and we stayed in a lovely room with a view overlooking the entire city. Some things to note about the hotel: 1. You have to check out the remote for the AC unit, which they didn't tell us at check-in, so we had to go back downstairs and ask about it. 2. There was a beam in the room that made the room look gorgeous, however the placement of the bed under the beam made head-smacks VERY LIKELY. This would be very easy to avoid with a simple repositioning. 3. There was a loud carnival in town the night we stayed here. The carnival in town was, of course, not the hotels fault. However, it would have been REALLY NICE if the hotel had offered complimentary ear plugs for guests with rooms overlooking the noisy streets. It was very difficult to fall asleep with the revellers just outside our room until 1 a.m.! 4. The Wi-Fi didn't require a passcode, so all the carnival goers were using it - and it was VERY SLOW. Overall, however, we really loved our experience here. The staff was really friendly. The bike parking was great. The luggage storage for our bike tour was handled graciously and kindly. There is a restaurant/bar in the hotel, but we didn't visit it so I cannot comment on the quality. The complimentary breakfast buffet was one of the better ones that we experience in our two week tour of The Netherlands.

Very nice hotel in a great town. Alkmaar has everything you would want for dining or shopping. Safe and picturesque.
