the ideal hotel if you want to travel around the Netherlands by car. A bit further from Amster, but still within easy driving distance. Huge free parking. Ideal place for trips around the area. Room cool, a little smaller, but enough. Cool was a fridge in the room, a lounge chair. We did not try the restaurant in the hotel, we ate nearby. I recommend the Smit-Bokkum restaurant in Volendam. But we went to the bar for a beer and they have really great. Great service, beautiful surroundings. In the surroundings I recommend to visit Edam. It is a small town and certainly not a day trip. In Volendam there are markets at the weekend, you can eat perfectly at great prices. We sat, even though it was October, on the beach. Perfect. Then definitely the port town of Marken, you can get there perfectly by car. Parking for a spout and a very nice walk.
