It’s clearly an older hotel, but everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfasts were great, and the staff (especially the guy at breakfast) was superb. Keukenhof is close by, and Leiden is also a very nice city to visit. The "ferry" you take to the Kaag hotel is a fun curiosity for kids. It operates 24/7, is quick, and costs €5.50 per car (as of April 2025). Payment is made on the way back to the mainland.

Having to pay for the ferry every day can be a bit annoying, but overall, the experience is still very nice and worth recommending. There isn’t much to do on the island itself — originally, we planned to walk around it, but the circular path was closed due to bird nesting.

Hotel Orion was chosen as it was close to our cycle route between Rotterdam and Itmuiden. It is on an interesting island served by a short ferry journey which runs 24 hours. Kaag Island has a village on it (Kaag), which although having an enormous ship yard, is a quiet traditional village with thatched cottages, a hotel, and bar/restaurants looking over the lake. It is the centre for many water sports. The hotel is quiet, unusual, and well priced. The host is welcoming and helpful.

The bedrooms are on the first and second floors accessed by external spiral stairs and decks. Not handy for moving luggage or if you suffer from vertigo.

I used this hotel while working at the shipyard nearby, and this hotel is just a short walk away. The staff is very friendly and the rooms, however rustique, was up to standard.

The hotel could have a small shop in the lobby as the island Kaag does not have any shops at all. Aslo the room would be more comfortable with the ac working.

Very comfortable hotel, with cosy beds in a lovely and quiet little island. Beautiful scenery and friendly people. Breakfast was nice too.

Once you've crossed over onto the island, there are no local amenities apart from an Italian restaurant, which was lovely in terms of service and food.

Property is situated in a great location on Kaag, surrounded by lush gardens and greenery with birds chirping during the day. Perfect getaway from the city.

It is not possible to order food or groceries so you have to go to Sassenheim for the closest appi

The Hotel has a new management, and it's slowly upgrading it. It has a strong new AC unit that really does the job right away. The room was clean.

The bar isn't working anymore in the evenings.

The island is beautiful, and the staff is really kind. The hotel is quite old but the price is ok for what they offer. Breakfast was good too. 👍

The bathroom can be renovated and the main beds also
