This hotel is a real gem !. The proprietor Marian has set very high standards for all aspects of their product. The restaurant service and quality of meals were both outstanding, with wine served in crystal glasses - nice touch. The buffet breakfast and staff were also completely amazing. The rooms are kept immaculate by an efficient housekeeping team who very smartly worked around our occupancy. We did have high expectations, and the hotel and Katwijk surprisingly exceeded all. And then add the perfect location on the seafront and next to an excellent town centre with really lovely local people and great restaurants, shops, bars, cafes etc and the ice cream place (!) - we love Katwijk so much we are booking to come back again.

Location! Fantastic located facing the beach. Lots of (public) parking space in modern under-dune parking garage opposite the hotel. The staff were genuine friendly and joyful. Quality of food, breakfast and dinner, was simpel and tasty. Clean and fresh hotel. Good comfy beds and pillows. Good curtains. All together, in spite of the few minuses, I would come back.

The bathroom/toilet/sink was squeezed in some 2,5m2 space; that was very cramped. Doorlocks cause a strong metal sound, making it impossible to open or lock the doors quietly. In combination with rather not sound proof doors, one is woken up easily late at night or early morning by neighbours.

Breakfast buffet was fabulous, room was comfortable and spacious enough despite being the smallest on offer.

The rooms are noisy, the doors are loud, and sound travels along the corridors. The lack of any facilities (no fridge, not even a kettle) in the room was inconvenient, but tea and coffee were available in the public area.

THE LOCATION WAS GREAT! The restaurant was clean and tasty, even the cheap breakfast wasn't bad (still a buffet) but not bad.

Our room was in the back and opened out to a noisy bar. This made open windows unwise and made for a stuffy room. Insist on a room to the side or in front. Avoid the back rooms!

The room was spacious with two balconies. Staff were very friendly and couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome! The breakfast was outstanding, with so much choice! The location of the hotel is the real attraction though. 2 mins by foot to the beach and the beach is sandy!

Everything. Right on the ocean. Close to everything—beach, shopping, public transportation. Dinners included in my reservation were delicious. Very friendly service. Close to the charming town of Leiden, where you can easily transfer to Keukenhof Gardens, airport, etc.

Beachfront, clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, good room size, friendly and helpful staff, machine in the hallway for free coffee, tea and hot chocolate, good food in the restaurant

Noise level in rooms facing the pedestrian zone, carpet on the floor, room door is loud when closing

Excellent staff, we were very late checking in and phoned to apologise, the reception stayed open later to check us in. They were also very helpful in arranging taxis during our stay.

Tea/Coffee in the room, but maybe that's just a British thing :o)

Everything. It was absolutely lonely

It was faultless

The location could not have been better, breakfast buffet style nice section,room cup very spacious

Only evening meals Friday,Saturday and Sunday which was a shame because last time we stayed evening meals were every night
