Sander Van Hove Review of Van der Valk Hotel Almere
Excellent hotel by the Vd Valk chain. Some decades...
Excellent hotel by the Vd Valk chain. Some decades ago the Valk hotels were known for their cheap rooms and very affordable luncheons. Those lunches would attract mostly elderly with their grandchildren to eat that convenience food with a standard bowl of applesauce with a cherry on top. You had to make a reservation way ahead and could fill your belly for less than 15 guilders at the time. That currency is long gone, as well as those cheap rooms. Valk now has a high standard you can experience in most of their hotels. The prices went up accordingly, but are well within the average margin. I have (by coincidence) stayed in three of their hotels during this year All of them very nice with modern and spacious clean rooms. My favourite is the one in Apeldoorn, but Almere will not disappoint you. One small remark. I stayed on the 2nd floor and when heading towards the restaurant to have a (great) breakfast, I found myself lost. I found the linen chamber, a room with cleaning materials and several other places, but it took not only me, but also others some time to find a way in that maze of miscellanious opportunities leading everywhere but the reception and restaurant.
My advice? Please put clear sings on that (and maybe other) floors indicating how one can find the reception and restaurant.
