Van der Valk Hotel Schiphol A4 - Hoofddorp

Bra hotel, ok service, gode fasiliteter, gratis Internett. Rommene er rene, men litt gamle og slitte. Bildene på nettet viser noe helt annet. Layout messig er hotellet litt rart. Det er veldig langt å gå dersom du får høyt romnummer. Maten på restauranten er meget god og personalet er hyggeliget, men det går litt for treigt. Kelneren den første kvelden […] klarte ikke og åpne vinflaska uten hjelp fra meg :-) Prisene i restauranten er rimelige. Hotellet har en god bar med godt utvalg og gode priser. Hotellet har et flott badebasseng og welness avdeling, samt et bra treningsrom. Det er gratis shuttle buss mellom hotellet og flyplassen. Les mer

Stort å pent hotell, servicen og maten var bra! Eneste som er å kommentere er vegg til vegg teppe på rom. Kort veg med shuttel-buss til/ fra Schiphol.

Rommet var fint, kunne vært en minibar der, ellers gode senger og fint og rent bad. Hyggelig med liten veranda utenfor rommet.

The transfer bus takes about 10-15 minutes and the hotel is situated alongside the highway. The chek-in was swift and the staff very friendly. Even though the hotel is relatively old, it shows clear signs of being well maintained and the room was nice (maybe a bit dark) and clean.

I had a very pleasant stay in Hotel Schiphol A4. I arrived at the hotel itself around 23:20, on a free shuttle bus from the airport (ca. 15-20 minutes' trip leaving every 40 minutes). The bus stop was easy to find. At the hotel, the check-in was very quick, and it was easy to find my room as well. I should add that after checking in I was charged a […] small tourist tax, but it was very low (around € 5 EUR) and might just be a percentage of the total cost. Now the room itself was in pristine condition except for two things; an empty pack of smokes in the bathroom trash can, and an unemptied ashtray on the balcony. Aside from those two small things, I have nothing negative to say about the room itself. I found that I preferred to keep the A/C off and rather open the balcony door a little, but your opinion may differ. The A/C was easy to operate either way. The bathroom was clean, had a huge mirror over the sink, and had both a shower and a bathtub. I am used to a shower head you can detach (from the wall), but the fixed shower head was no problem. I woke up from the sound of construction about 50 meters from the balcony. I looked out and saw a very nice garden area with some small ponds and tables w/ chairs. Unfortunately, the nearby construction and the noise kept me from investigating this area further. Across the street from the hotel is a building with two or three places to eat; a café-restaurant, a KFC, and one or two places on the 2nd floor. The first night I went there around 12 am just as it was closing. If you are arriving late in the evening I would suggest eating before going to the hotel or bringing your own food. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay. It is a bit far from central Amsterdam (I would guesstimate 30 minutes by bus), and as of writing (early July 2011) I think parts of it are still under construction, but if you're staying for just a couple of nights or are interested in something other than running around the inner city it's perfect fo Les mer

Excellent spacious room, very good rate, good amenities (pool and gym) Food good too! My only criticism is no tea and coffee making facilities in rooms!

Overall, I found my brief stay at the Van der Valk hotel quite enjoyable. From the outside it doesn't look all that nice, but don't let that fool you. The inside is well decorated and maintained. The staff is extremely friendly and are willing to offer help and advice regarding trips into the city. The hotel is a short 10 minute bus ride from the airport. […] The shuttle is complementary and runs 6am to Midnight, leaving the airport and hotel every 40 minutes (every even hour from the hotel and every odd hour from the airport). The hotel is located at a rest stop on the A4 highway, which offers several restaurant choices (KFC, Burger King, La Place) and a couple of shops. I found the room to be adequate and clean, meeting my expected needs. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to stay close to the airport. Les mer

The room was in terrible shape including these obvious problems: unpainted large plywood rectangle nailed to sink front, very scary shower with rubber tubing hanging from the door.

Everything is good, except that we had to travel to Amsterdam for everything sightseeing, tours, food, shopping.

this is my second time and I enjoyed it more the second time round (guess I knew what to expect) . Location is awful, just off a motorway, so expect traffic noise in room.. And hotel can be crowded with hoards of people (so be sure to book table in resto in evening), Best aspect is food - always good in the large restaurant - breakfast and lunch / dinner […] meals. Be mindful that the journey from Schipol takes longer than expected as bus needs to do a long loop to cross motorway to reach hotel. I took a taxi from airport (as didn't want to wait for hotel us) and it cost Euros 40 - so not cheap! No water in room, only vending machines on corridor - so bring your own. Les mer

A comfortable hotel on the road with all what you need to stay a night over. Few of good eating places across the street close by. Hotel also has a very good restaurant with a good food. Probably a good place to stay when you need a night cap at Schiphol in between your intercontinental flights. I have been coming here for business for the last 10-12 […] years and it has kept its standard. Les mer

My husband and I stayed here for valentines week. Its a lovely hotel with a convenient location to get around Amsterdam and surrounding areas if you have a car. Free shuttles take you to and from airport so public transport is accessible. Downside to hotel was workers in the morning making lots of noise, also the room was cold no heating worked and […] they never fixed it. Reasonable prices and nice looking great bath facility bath shower in on room separate and massive flatscreen. I mid rated it mainly because of service issues but it is a very nice hotel and had heating and noise been less I would have rated higher! nice spacious balconies too if your a smoker! Les mer

A little outside of Amsterdam but made easy by the free shuttle bus and trains, superb hotel well worth a try!, Only 20 minutes in to Amsterdam but you'll struggle to find a hotel anywhere near as good for the price!

I was just looking for a decent hotel by the airport, and the Van der Valk turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The restaurant was open early and late. The staff were friendly and helpful. The highlight for me was the steamroom and sauna - a pleasant surprise.

Airport shuttle is very convenient and was always on time, great for using to get back to the airport to use the trains into town centre. Takes about 40 mins in total using the shuttle and train. Great place for business travellers and couples or small groups. And there are several restaurants across the road (which is basically a service station) but […] good enough! Pool and sauna are lovely Les mer

We arrived, senior couple,late 60's with a small dog, charged 15 euros for dog, which was expected,room was spacious bathroom great, dog accepted, asked us if we needed anything for the dog. Also a real bonus a patio with sliding glass door that opened for fresh air. Security at hotel excellent. Clean free shuttle to airport. But for late check in you […] need to CALL the hotel for night taxi 20 euros, from airport the charge is 40 euros, with regular taxi. We had a late check in, 1:30 AM as our flight was delayed.. No problems. Great lobby. Indoor pool, and parking. Definately recommended by us. Good for families with children. Lots of clean towels, and good bed. Have already recommeded this hotel to our son, who lives in Europe for their travel in spring to visit us. Les mer

The Valk A4 Schiphol Hotel is perfect if using AMS as a hub for business travel. The shuttle bus is very reliable and brings you quickly to hotel. Staff are very professional and the hotel seems to always be undergoing some renovation to make it even more superb. I have stayed here on business and with family. They have some of the largest family-friendly […] rooms I have ever stayed in. It is a hotel that is great value for money. Les mer

It was not a hotel. it reminded me a processing facility. The staff of the huge facility was categorical and not accommodating, if you where promised a two queen room, don’t even dream - it will be 2 x two tween at best! No complaints taken. No attempts to mitigate... Once you are issued a key you are supposed to get lost in your little cell and not […] bother the staff, that reminded me officers of the correctional facility (I am a former judge). What they called rooms stunk and where barely maintained up to a minimum sanitary requirements (not sure they met them). we travelled in a company of four - my wife and two children and even after a four hour flight, we could not stay there, packed our stuff and left looking for another hotel.

Stayed here many times if I have an early flight from Schiphol. Room as are always massive and clean. I skip dinner and breakfast and just head over to the services across the car park. Everything you want there chinese, steaks...La Place is my weapon of choice. There is nothing around the hotel to do or see unless you like the sound of jets!, however, […] I have rated it 4 purely because of the motorway services and all the food and service which is offered there. The courtesy bus is regular and large so no problems getting to and from the airport. Les mer

Hotel was much further from the Airport than advertised. It was a 10-15 min shuttle ride. Also the free shuttle service does not start until 6 am. If you have an early flight you must pay 20 Euros for the ride to the airport. Also early check in cost me an additional 15 Euros, which I found to be quite expensive for 4 hours. A plus is the location of […] a low-priced restaurant across the street from the hotel. It advertises free wifi, but it is not free--$.19 per minute. Lack of free wifi is a definite negative for this hotel. Les mer

I regularly stay here before my early morning flight to the US, a the hotel is but a few minutes away from the airport, right off the highway. It belongs to a chain that is known for fairly good quality at a reasonable price. My room was large and clean. Good, spacious bathroom, nice shower. Had a decent meal, friendly staff. The floor in my room was […] hot and therefore so was the room. Airco didn't seem to work in November. NOT a place for a vacation. You'll get some noise from the airport and the highway and the neighborhood lacks any charm. The hotel tries to make up for it with its decorations, fake fireplaces etcs. Open spaces, marble floors. Reminds me of Vegas, the basic version. If you can get a good price, don't hesitate. Les mer
