Beautifully located, we have a short stop here with our dogs on the way to Scotland, the dog beach is nearby, a beautiful sandy beach, we could have stayed longer, the ferry is about 5 minutes away
Rooms: The rooms are not exactly modern here and there a few quirks.
The room cleaning comes only on request and cleans mediocre for a four star hotel.
The hotel is very far from the beaten track. The area is deserted and you can forget about the restaurants and shops. The city center can be reached in 10 minutes by car. Forget about walking you can hike. Zandvoort in 30 minutes drive.
The beach about 5 minutes walk is nice. Loungers cost 15 euros per day.
Prices in the hotel restaurant e.g. a burger 19.5, pizza 10.5 euros. It tastes good there. It is best to avoid the restaurants outside, tastes cheap and is very expensive. There are two Japanese, a German restaurant with pizza and schnitzel, two bars on the beach and a supermarket that I cannot recommend. Too expensive and nothing special.
The best thing to do in Germany is to go grocery shopping, including drinks. A six-bottle of water costs 12 euros in the supermarket. There is an empty refrigerator in the hotel room. Attention all rooms have a balcony but there are different prices. Best at night via Booking.com because there are the cheapest prices. The hotel was not worth its 800 euros for 6 days even if the small port is in front of the door, it is by and large too far away from everything in the wilderness. A Lidl is about 10 minutes away.
Parking costs 10 euros per day. Incl. We were tourist tax at 100 euros. You can't have breakfast anywhere, either on the beach or in the area. Hotel breakfast costs 18 euros. Anyone who gets hungry for crepe ect in the evening is unlucky. Lieferando NL delivers to the hotel. Sauna and fitness small and only usable for 1 hour with reservation.
From 5/6 p.m. Todehose
Very expensive and cheaply raised. You lose your money there.
Just a quiet and clean place to stay. Nothing wrong here, nothing out of the ordinary either.
+Nice view
Bed was comfortable
Busstation if you don't come with car
Sandy Beach
To go biking
Some really nice personal and bad too!
- balkon was dirty
- amsterdam / harlem or ijmuiden we are here to taste and try the weed, here we bought something for the hotel, we thought we are in holland and we allowed to smoke weed on the BALKON! So we had smoked on the balkon. We rolled and grinded in the room yes! Because when it was blowy.
Late at night we came back in the hotel and the personal told us we had to pay 100 euros because we had smoked apparently in the room inside. But if we had smoked inside the room then the fire alarm would have been started but it didn't! 100 euros we have payed but the cleaning person had nothing cleaned really nothing!
She didn't believe us that we don't smoked in the room. - I can really understand it because the weed here has a really good bad smell but thats why we are here. In our country we don't have this quality and it's not legal. The funny thing was that nowhere was a sign to don't smoke weed and also not on a paper.
- for me the breakfast has not to much selection 'but for others it had'
- some dirty little things
Apollo Hotel Seaport Beach, IJmuiden, NL
New Year's Eve and New Year 2017/2018
The rooms were okay, but you can't say that about the restoration or the service staff. There were an estimated 250 guests in the hotel over New Year's Eve 2017/2018.
The bar and restaurant were closed!
The catering took place on the 4th floor in a large hall. In the evenings a buffet was set up, accessible from two sides. Unfortunately, the food in the chafing dishes was lukewarm to cold. Unfortunately, there was no service staff at the buffet either, so that one in the kitchen did not notice when the chafing dishes were empty. The terse answer came from the girls who cleared away the plates they had used: It's coming. And actually after about 20 minutes, the chafing dishes were refilled. For this purpose, the lids of the chafing dishes were temporarily stored on the floor. It was a shame that you couldn't help yourself to the filled chafing dishes because there were no more plates. Here, too, a long time passed before "clean (?) Plates were taken out from under the tables from the floor on which the buffet was set up". It would have been nice if there had been a little hint about the contents next to the respective chafing dishes. Perhaps worth mentioning that there was no napkin ready to cut the whole loaf.
The breakfast was not really different from the evening buffets, only that each roll was refilled individually by hand (without gloves) in the bread basket. In addition, there were two coffee machines available for self-service - queuing. There were probably three household-size warming jugs - but not intended to be taken to the tables - but more warming jugs were only brought in after about an hour.
The New Year's Eve was then also full of non-positive surprises, which I will no longer explain in detail here.
Conclusion: In every simple pension, more attention is paid to hygiene (there are EU-uniform regulations). Totally overwhelmed chaotic service staff (and probably also the kitchen). Hence management too. Definitely not a 4-star hotel!
The place and the hotel and the staff were very good.
Very spacious rooms. Beautiful location. Friendly staff. A lot of noise outside at night
Had 2 wonderful days! After visiting this hotel for the umpteenth time we were now gone for the day, an upgrade to a superior suite!
Kingsize bed, jacuzzi, fireplace and the best view!
What have we enjoyed!
Until next time!!
Very nice hotel. The rooms are spacious, the staff very friendly and helpful, the location and the attractive prices. What more?
Welcomed with a smile, given a marina-side, super-clean room with comfortable beds and experienced the most accommodating staff. Enjoyed breakfast on the balcony! Had some trouble with wi-fi but manager stepped in and patiently went through several steps to try to make it work. Beautiful sea-side scenery!
Nice along the coast. View of the ports. 5 minutes walking distance to the beach. Delicious fresh fish eaten at local fish tents. We recommend fish smokery Smeding very nice people. Delicious smoked fish from our own smokehouse everything fresh !!!
Cozy room with a beautiful view and good service despite the renovation
Good location good bed everything neat and clean
Nice sauna that you can use
Top breakfast buffet.
A good hotel for a beach stay and a long weekend. The rooms are clean and cleaned daily, we caught the side with the dunes view, which is also nice. The restaurant has delicious menus to choose from but which are quite expensive. Food was awesome, the wine too, only the cocktails were of poor quality (poor ratio of ingredients). For just 120 euros the room without breakfast (per person 18,50 Euro / night) not exactly cheap.
Overnight in this good hotel in a family room. And we liked that. A really great room. Spacious, hardly any outside noise (wind force7) and a good bed, big enough and nice mattress, good bathroom and everything was clean and tidy. Because our family consists of 5 people, they have put an extra bed in our room without difficulty.
Breakfast is on the pricey side but was good and plenty of everything.
Staff is friendly and helpful.
The only drawbacks are:
Our room could have used a sauce and a lick of paint.
Parking is unpaved there and you pay for it once.
Nice room, excellent breakfast buffet. Friendly staff.
After a warm welcome by a very friendly reception staff received our key to our room with a nice view over the harbor.
After a nice walk on the beach (beach is really a 3-minute walk) delicious dinner in the restaurant in the evening.
After a good night's sleep we enjoyed an extensive breakfast buffet.
We can look back on a wonderful stay in a great hotel with friendly staff.
Rooms are a bit dated in terms of styling but bed, TV and bathroom are fine.
Everything is also clean and tidy.
Hotel also has ample meeting options
Nice, clean rooms. Very friendly staff. Beautiful and peaceful environment.
Location was good.
But check in took very long and room was not ready at 3pm.
Check out was drama computer failure and a line of several meters. Little solution-oriented action of the employees. I only had to hand in my key card masr had to wait half an hour for nothing.
We have been 4 days but no towel change or cleaning in between.
One of the two elevators was out of service and remained out of service.
A good hotel, but the service was disappointing.
The staff is very friendly, the suite was wonderful. The breakfast could be a bit richer which the stay but no disadvantage. Everything was clean and well maintained.
Nice location, nice staff and good food. May be renewed. Recommended.
The double rooms are small, but absolutely sufficient for a short stay.
The cleanliness doesn't win a medal, but at least the beds were really clean.
Breakfast is okay, if a little monotonous.
The layout of the breakfast room is terrible: the waffles and the scrambled eggs are in a small corner, in front of which there are also guests ... they have to be constantly bothered by other hungry people who huddle in the corner
The area is absolutely quiet and actually deserted in the off-season. No shop is open. Except on the beach ... and you buy the entire bar right away
With a dog, the hotel and the surrounding area are great in the off-season
The dog can go anywhere and has endless space to run on the beach - a dream
It was a pleasant surprise that the sauna was available despite the site saying it was closed.
The food was also tasty, but the service was a big drama. The chefs worked themselves to the limit and the service simply left the food there and it took too long before it was served. Then the intern was kicked out for doing the best work of all.
The room and facilities were really nice, but due to the poor service, the final mark is an overall 6 instead of a 9.
Certainly in this period of corona, when only hotels can keep restaurants, you have to deliver something extra. That starts with a tight organization in the operation, knowing your walking route, not skipping tables, using a helicopter view, paying attention to guests who seek eye contact, etc. This is the biggest point of attention!
Rooms great, the hotel itself near the beach. Very nice service. The only caveat to restaurant service. We waited a long time for service and dishes. Overall impression very good, beautiful views from the rooms on the sea side. I recommend it and I will come back again at the best opportunity!
Had a wonderful weekend
Super hospitable staff
Thanks yet
Good location on the beach, spacious clean rooms and nice bar
Very nice hotel located at the end of the port docks overlooking a small and pleasant marina.
Good, clean, functional rooms. Nice (remote) location, close to the sea. Parking is not included and has to be done on a public carpark ( 10/day).
Hotel fine no op or eligibility, only one thing I just miss a double bed in the luxury room you go with your wife and you do not sleep together, you try it but then you sink in between the beds.
Room was very nice, good sized beds and spacious. It was also clean and well maintained. The free Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The bar was also a very pleasant place to spend a few hours with a good selection of drinks.
Nice room, great view, at a minute walk from the beach.. Just perfect!
We were guest of the day. Got an upgrade. Super nice room with open heart and whirlpool. Staff super friendly and the food was super tasty. Sauna facilities good, plenty of towels, bottled water flat and with bubbles were available. Top arranged! Breakfast was also very nice, good coffee !!
Great holiday hotel, great location, fantastic beds!
Menu is a bit sparse and changes only once a week. Food but not bad.
When I went the weather was a bit rubbish so I couldn't wander far from the hotel but the surrounding area has plenty of food places to choose from. The hotel is very comfortable, the room was fairly well sized and comfortable. No iron in the room unlike some hotels in the area but only a small shame. Breakfast was very good, lots of variety and on from a good time. Overall good stay for a night, would go again.
Very nice rooms, great view, great breakfast and good service ..
To recommend for a kuzurlaub ..
Very nice Hotel. Friendly Staff. Great Location, close to the Beach and only 30 minutes by Bus to either Amsterdam or Haarlem. Lovely selection of Food for Breakfast. I also enjoyed using the Gym and Health Suite.
The restaurant menu is brief, not recommended, quality below standard, a snack bar, the better.
I'm here with my sweetie and it was a great stay. Friendly service which helps you with all your needs. Great view and good parking opportunitys. Good breakfast and restaurant. Love it.
Very clean room and good view of the sea and port. Very friendly staff. stayed for a team event and turned out to be a perfect place for our event. The nearby beach is frequented by kite surfers. There is a lake on the rear side of the hotel which is good for walking around it.
Nice rooms, bathroom not special, small beds. No mini bar. Breakfast in bed is always possible
A nice and comfortable hotel, in a complete remote area.
Good rooms, good service, but The worst internet in Europe
Nice rooms, friendly staff, hotel is very dog friendly, beautiful beach, view from the rooms either on the marina or on the Kennenermeer.
Very neat hotel with beautiful location and nice view. Staff are polite and friendly, rooms are top notch. Been here during corona so little to do at the hotel many cafe / bar and restaurants are under renovation.
Very clean but unfortunately a bit getting old, breakfast was varied but the rolls and scrambled eggs is unfortunately not ....
We had booked for a low price which was okay.
I stayed in a room facing the harbour. It was spacious and well equipped. The dining and reception facilities were modern and very inviting.
A little spartan, he would need some tweaking here and there. Comfortable rooms.
Well maintained breakfast.
Just a hotel. Nothing fancy. Well, there is this fish you can rent...
Good day,
Since we enjoyed our first stay at this hotel, we invited a family member there and this time booked two suites.
When we arrived one of the rooms wasn't ready. We had to wait until after 3:30 p.m. I can live with that. It was the same for some new guests.
But when we got into the so-called suite and our family members went into their room, it was so uncomfortable. There were three extra beds in this room, as well as a large dining table. It was really a shame. The impression was not good. I imagine something else under a suite. It was known in advance that our relative is alone in the room. We then asked to take the beds out of the room. That was then done until the evening. We thought we'd book something nice for our relatives and then that. The normal rooms are much more inviting.
We are not among those who like to express themselves negatively quickly, but here we were really annoyed! I am sure that you would have felt the same as a guest.
Best regards

We were there in August 1 week. The entrance to the hotel parking lot was pretty hard to find. No German speaking staff although previously announced. Room was okay. View from the balcony to the marina was fantastic. Restaurant too expensive and little choice. Breakfast was okay, but the same every day. Direct environment quite run down. The beach shop was always closed. Excursions are easy to reach by car. For us no 4 stars, since quite old.
Super nice at the beach and marina. Friendly staff .. definitely recommended
This is a nice hotel in a nice location. Staff is ok but running out of hands. They cannot give the guests the attention that the staff themselves would want. At breakfast there is 1 coffee machine with a row in front. Unless you have breakfast at 0600. Waiting for the food at dinner takes too long. Staff cannot do anything about this. The gambas were okay from the surf and turf. You can't mess with that either. The steak was ordered medium and got it rare and undercooked. I couldn't say anything about that. Staff were short of hands and could not ask if it tasted.
Advice for now .. eat the buffet for dinner .. is not expensive .. with variety. And you can grab whatever you want and directly on the table.
Room was spacious but not entirely clean (think of a dusty floor). Breakfast was fine with a wide selection of food items. Plus was the fact that guests could make their own pancakes. Very nice that dogs are allowed in the hotel!
It is the last store room unclean breakfast selection far too little and only gala dinner in stages corresponded to Harz 4 a single mush. Staff very unfriendly. Breakfast was served too late all guests had to wait 30 minutes
Absolutely wonderful hotel! As well the rooms (with view), the breakfast, the restaurant, the decoration, our stay was absolutely magnificent! I highly recommend ! I have no complaints :)
Little more: there is the right to dogs, as small as big, it is a happiness!
Room ok. Logistics around breakfast could be improved.
Look at the picture, they are what you will see from the front desk for 20mn before someone comes to you. Ringing did not help.
The parking is located in front of the hotel, it s the same as the beach but you will receive a coupon for free exit.
The hotel itself is clean and the rooms are nice. Overall it s a decent option if you have business to do around.
We were here over the weekend ... very nice reception (the ladies could understand us and we also). Parking directly at the hotel ... also because I can not understand the negative entries. Room was as desired to the port and we had we cleaned the windows (they were really dirty) a beautiful view ... including the Aida .Breakfast was topp ... something for everyone ... very delicious coffee ... hot rolls ... fresh Fruit .. even fresh waffles you can make yourself there ... we found it overall topp with you and will be back
Had a very nice weekend. Nice rooms with good bed. Friendly staff and delicious food. The personal welcome card with surprise was superb. Until the next time that is sure to come, then also get some fresh air at the beach.
Easy to reach. Friendly staff. Neat and clean room. Beds were nice (Were a little too soft for me). Basic but good bathroom with nice shower. Restaurant had no atmospheric appearance, so decided to eat elsewhere.
Really only a 2 minute walk to the beach. Nice beach bars there! Beautiful surroundings.
Nice hotel very close to the beach. It is right on the marina. A Chinese restaurant is right next to the hotel, as well as a few shops. Otherwise it is outside of Ijmuiden.
The rooms are functional and clean. However, the windows were so dirty that you couldn't see through. The breakfast was delicious and varied. Definitely something for everyone.
A very nice and quiet hotel. The view is massive, we had a view of the marina, and in the evening the sunset was indescribable. Staff are friendly and helpful, everything is available in terms of equipment. And it's not far to Amsterdam either.
We were hugely spoiled last week with a suite overlooking the harbor. Staff enormously friendly helpful and attentive.
The weather was off and on, but the space and tranquility were super, really recovered, slept in, and pleasant base for the beach, Zandvoort, Zaandam, Alkmaar .... had a wonderful time !!
Poor service in the restaurant, after clearing the main menu no one seen to offer a dessert. Eventually we go to checkout, and more drinks are charged than we had.
The hotel is getting old. It does not correspond to a 4 star standard. The hotel car park was chargeable. The friendliness of the staff was dependent on the day. You didn't want to understand German and you had to struggle with English.
Little things are not valued. The suite did not have a cloakroom. The cables of the lamps were bare. TV didn't work at all and then only 2 programs. Bacteria exchange for the remote control lasted 3 days.
Cleanliness is also not very important. The duvet and pillows have yellowed. Balcony and ashtray wasn't cleaned at all.
Windows were very dirty (already on arrival).
Breakfast was ok, very monotonous and disorganized.
We canceled our 1 week stay early after 2 days. All in all, we didn't feel comfortable there. The hotel and the rooms as well as the furniture are shabby and in need of renovation. The front desk, which is actually the figurehead of a hotel, was unfortunately completely dirty. The reception screens were covered with a 1 cm layer of dust. The windows in the hotel and room were very dirty. The breakfast for a 4 * hotel left a lot to be desired. Scrambled eggs from egg powder ??? I know that differently from other companies. this is an indictment! A total of 2 types of cheese to choose from is not immense either. The dog beach is also very far away ... The area makes a very deserted and unkempt impression. Only the staff is very friendly and tried hard. It is also great that the hotel is dog-friendly. If you have few demands and can cope with an old, worn interior, you are in good hands here. This is definitely not the place for a hard-earned summer vacation. We will not be back!
worn out and sl
Super nice staff, nice breakfast, wonderful beds that are spacious, family rooms are ideal, nice view
Nice hotel in nice place, friendly and cheerful staff.
Lovely hotel!
Perfect location
Staff top! We came for 1 night but immediately booked a night. Air conditioning turned out to be broken in the room was immediately resolved immediately got another room.
1 minus the dinner menu very small really missed a steak or the like on the menu for the most part it is fish, meat was grouse, lamb stew or a hamburger otherwise top hotel with helpful staff
Prices drinks over the top a bottle of beer 5 euros
