Hotels near M. van Veen (EXPORT) BV in Haarlemmermeer

Good for stay if you arrive late or transfer in Amsterdam. You can find a McDonald’s in 5mins walk. And they have the shuttle every 30mins to the airport, which is very convenient. And the bed is comfortable. However, I would say the hygiene can be better. All in all, it is still a good place to stay a night!

A private room in Central Amsterdam is expensive and hence people end up staying in hostels with shared rooms/toilets/bathrooms at exorbitant rates. Maxhotel, near the Schiphol Airport is an excellent place to stay if you want a private room with a private bathroom/toilet in Amsterdam. The rooms are small but it is an absolute no non sense place. The staff is very helpful and there’s a Mc Donald’s right next door. The public transport network in Amsterdam is so good that you’re there in the centre of the city in no time from the hotel. There’s a bus stop which is really close to the hotel, about 3-5 minutes walk and it has a great frequency of bus 397 running to the center and back. I never felt that I was staying so far from the centre of the city. They also kept my luggage for few days in their lockers and only charged me 4 Euros for 3 days as I travelled to Paris during the weekend. I was really satisfied with my stay in this hotel and I had a really pleasant experience. I would love to be back here.

The hotel was fine but for early flights leaving from the airport, the breakfast isn’t available until 7am. I made the error of booking the room along with breakfast for two which we couldn’t use. The staff presented us a breakfast box with mostly bread and water and only a serving for one instead of two. I asked the staff if the breakfast could be returned and deducted from the payment but they would not comply. The usual buffet breakfast might have been nice and worth the money but the “breakfast box” for 20euros was not.

was impressed by the rich history and craftsmanship. The tour highlighted Mr. Freddy's pivotal role in shaping Heineken into an iconic brand. The detailed process—from barley storage to yeast addition and achieving that perfect golden hue—was captivating. The interactive quizzes along the way added a fun element, with chances to win small prizes. Knowledgeable guides enriched the experience, providing insights into the company's evolution and global reach. The display of original beer-making vessels showcased the authenticity

Stopped for breakfast before my appointment in Haarlem. Bus stops are directly before the hotel (you'll see grocerystore and a gas station) but you will need to walk to main traffic lights a few mminutes away (go to right when facing restaurant windows) and then turn left to get to main hotel entrance & parking - hotel is surrounded by a sort of moat. Thank you for the walking adventure Van der Valk😆 Once inside you can get to restaurant a floor above via escalator. Greeted by host - confusion over confirmmed reservation as it was not immediately visible. Quickly found and cleared up. My reservation was 08:30am on a Friday. Not really busy at this timme. Lots of window searing available. Huge windows so even if not directly seated ( on opposide across) you still have a ”window view”. Staff member clearing tables was off the bat -first to give greeting and friendly short banter. Breakfast buffet is unbelieavably i***ressive with a mmind boggling array: good coffees, juices, smmoothies and mmore than your standard buffet offerings. On top of this -fried eggs, omelets being prepared by cook station. Sparkling wine included if that is your thing. Sure is mmine!!! A fantastic deal for €18,50 per person! I was able to catch up with Anoushka -meeting & events staff!!! A wonderful and esteemed colleague - we worked together a few years back at a co***etiror hotel. So this in particular mmade mmy visit even mmore special! I can absolutely reccommend Restaurant Van der Valk in Haarlem as a goid deal for breakfast. As I go back and forth to Haarkem frequentky -I will mmake it a point to stop in mmore often - breakfat and lunch. Don't mmiss out!!!

We loved our stay at Zaan Hotel. Fantastic location. It is just opposite to the train station, from where you can access trains to the airport, Amsterdam and various other destinations. The train to Amsterdam is only about 12 minutes ride. The train to the airport is only 3 stops away and about 18 mins ride. There is a fairly large supermarket opposite the hotel. It being in the heart of Zaandam, has several cafes, restaurants and beautiful shops as well as high street stores extremely nearby. We had a great time walking around the shopping street and also got to enjoy local Dutch food at the cafes. The hotel location is EXCELLENT in one word. Fairytale place is how we would describe Zaandam. We were very happy with the service at the hotel too. Our comfort family room was spacious. The fridge in the room is very useful. Our rooms were cleaned everyday and toiletries replenished. The staff were very helpful. All areas of the hotel are very well maintained, clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast was lovely too and so was the dinner. We would strongly recommend this hotel to everyone planning a trip in the Netherlands.

Very Pleasant Stay - No Real Complaints I stayed here for three nights in April 2023 and we had no issues - We stayed here because of the difficulties of finding a place to stay in Amsterdam and found this a pleasant, quiet alternative, the hotel is a bit out of the way in the sleepy town of Hoofddorp but is a mere 5 min walk from the station which is a 4 min train journey to Schipol Airport and 25 min or so train journey to Amsterdam-Centraal. We never had any issues using the train with them every 10 mins or so and running until early hours of the morning we had a good experience, the fares are cheap approx €6 to Amsterdam and €3 to the airport, although you can use contactless payments tio pay, The hotel itself is very modern, with the ability to cast to the TV in the room, the bathroom was nice and the noise from the airport was kept to a minimim by the thick windows. The beds were comfortable and the staff were friendly, the ability to check on on a machine was also nice as we were able to skip the queues and check right in. Would stay here again and reccomennd to anyone wanting to go to Amsterdam but can't find anywhere suitable in the centre!

Pros Close to bus stop to get into town Shuttle bus from airport Good breakfast selection Decent gym Decent reception area Cons Ultra soft bed Pillows not great Very low ceiling in the bathroom (an issue if you’re tall) Rooms are still pretty dated despite the advertised makeover Toilet paper like sandpaper Wifi not working meaning a much delayed checkin

The room was clean. Staff pleasant. We had a faulty coffee maker, which could not be replaced, but a satisfactory alternative was provided. Staff at the Green House restaurant was great. Food good. Gluten free bread was not tasty. Could use an upgrade. Will stay there again if needed.

The staff at this hotel are truly awesome. They cater to your every need and try to make your stay at their hotel as comfortable as possible. They serve a good breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, croissants etc) but they don't serve lunch or supper so you're on your own. There is a grocery store nearby and since the rooms have a kitchen with a coffeemaker, kettle, microwave and stovetop, you can always cook your own. Another plus is that the transit system is fantastic with a bus stopping outside the hotel every 10 minutes that takes you to the airport and then downtown Amsterdam. There is also a train station nearby. The rooms were comfortable and the hotel is equipped with a washer and dryer which is a nice touch. I want to give a special shout out to the front desk staff - Tanya, Monica and Abdullah - they were the nicest and most helpful people always going out of their way to answer my questions about all things Dutch. I would recommend this hotel for their wonderful staff and value for your money.
