The staff at this hotel is very friendly and helpful. They assisted me in changing my room from a higher floor to a lower one, as I had a leg injury and needed a lower floor. Great view, very convenient location, fantastic welcome drinks, and breakfasts. The room is very quiet; you can't hear anything from the neighboring rooms, absolute silence. I give it 10 out of 10 and highly recommend staying at this hotel.

Everything! This hotel exceeded our expectations. We’ve stayed in 16 hotels throughout our European holiday and this gorgeous place was without a doubt the best. We’ve paid triple the price in other locations and they have not come close to what we experienced at the Hendrick’s Hotel. I could not recommend staying here more! It’s also worth mentioning that the views are amazing as well! Thanks for a wonderful stay 🙏

I and my wife were guests of Blooming Hotel in 18 th - 23 rd of April 2023. I would like to thank to whole team for all services, conditions and our safety in time of our holiday. We have not words to describe our wonderful emotions and we want to return again there soon for next holiday. It was, for sure, the most wonderful holiday for us and Blooming team made that. We will always remember all, the people there, them smiles, taste of food, birds sound, fresh air of near forest, silence, parking with lighting system and so on. The Blooming is a four and a half stars hotel with all services you can imagine and you hope to meet to see in a wonderful hotel. The principal feature is that the hotel is in the middle of forest with all, beautiful sound birds, silence, fresh air, bicicle ways in forest but with a perfect restaurant where you enjoy testful breakfast and a good dinner. There is a large parking and a swimming pool with clear water. I want, I hope to come back again for a new magic holiday! Thank a lot to all Blooming team! I will recommend this hotel for a magic holiday!

Everything! :) From the moment we checked in we we greeted by a lovely gentleman at the reception who assisted us, gave us some useful information and accommodated our preferences! Overall, staff was very nice, kind and friendly! Beds were very comfortable. We used the Hotel Spa facilities and we were inpressed of the choices we had of different saunas, pool, steam room and relaxation rooms. We booked our stay with breakfast included and that was such a good value for money! Breakfast was excellent and there was a wide range of itwms to chose from. Cleaningnes was impeccable! We loved the hotel design and we also experienced the Bar/Lounge on a Saturday evening after returning from our city stroll, where we were pleasantly surprised to find a live DJ, nice music and great ambience and vibe around. The place was quite lively and vibrant.

Not my favorite city in Europe but definitely a great choice for a short 5 days trip. Amazing public transport system that runs like clockwork, if you look hard and do your research you can actually find great places to eat that are worth the money you pay for. Hotel wise I would recommend Amsterdam Zuid, and if you are a classical music lover this is one of the tip cities to visit because the Concertgebouw is one of the top orchestras in the world so do not leave Amsterdam without attending a concert. Museum tickets are more expensive than other places like Vienna or Berlin and to be honest I did not find the same value there. If you are a foodie, treat yourself to "Brasserie Sent" in De Pijp and "Abbey" and for the best Coffee/ Breakfast head out to Bakers and Roasters.

Haarlem is beautiful and the Christmas market was amazing and very large. If your going for any festival then make dinner reservations on line well in advance! very hard to find anywhere not pre booked! We met a lovely girl in Tierney's Irish Pub after telling her we had been walking for 2 hours trying to find somewhere to eat she managed to find us a table, absolute star. Steak House well if you like raw meat when we asked for well done, powdery prawns and plastic coleslaw then this place is for you! very disappointing.

The transportation system in and around Amsterdam is easy to navigate. It took a few tries to find our way around, but once we understood how things worked, it was fairly straight forward. Just remember to tap in and out when you use your bankcard to pay on the trams, otherwise you'll end up paying the maximum of a day (which weren't really horrible). Most of the signs in and around Amstelveen was in Dutch only, even the menu at the local restaurant, but that wasn't an issue for us. We used the area mainly as a place to stay the nights since we didn't want to stay downtown Amsterdam.

Zaandam is a little away from the center of Amsterdam but there is a train station within walking distance, though no subway system out there. There is a pedestrian shopping area with eateries and grocery stores, etc. It is a quieter area to stay than the main city center. Train fares are a bit more expensive than other EU countries but are regular and on time. Most of the eateries in this area were Turkish and similar, and delicious.

Inflation is a common thing, but Zandvoort tops it all.

Inflation is a common thing, but Zandvoort tops it all. Parking for the week was 120 €. In town you have to pay 4€ for the first two hours (minimum time), thereafter 7 € per hour. Frikandel from the FEBO vending machine was 3 € a piece. More expensive than in Alkmaar (2.40€) and even Amsterdam. Kibbeling varied in quality, but we found a good place at the beach (7.50 € with 4 sauces!). Restaurant were generally very "greedy". Top prices for Pizza Margherita 14.50 €, Tomato Soup 9 €, Cheesecake 9 € and Schnitzel with fries and salad 37.50 €!!!! Petrol about 30-35 cents per liter more than in Germany. I don't know how families with children can afford these prices??? I believe that other locations in The Netherlands are more reasonable, for example Provinz Zeeland, which we visited earlier this year. Zandvoort is for "High Society"!!!???

I diidn;t visit the cheese museum (I don't like cheese) or any other museums apart from the Stedlijk but I enjoyed saying 'Cheese' to folk taking pictures of themselves, as that is what you do in England! :-)

Egmond aan Zee is a charming little beach town in the Netherlands with all the shops and Restaurants you could wish for. As a family of four we liked to walk to the Dekamarkt for our daily breakfast and snacks at the beach. At night we would eat at restaurants, at the typically Dutch snackbar 'Bij Brigitte' or eat Kibbeling(fish) at the Coast. We rented bikes for the day to travel further out. The remains of a castle in Egmond aan de Hoef was very interesting for our preteens and the next coastal town over 'Bergen aan Zee' was lovely as well. We visted the Aquarium there which was facinating for the entire family. Venturing out by foot into the Duinen is recommended as well. We saw wild Horses, oxes and a gorgeous sunset. In the Smidstraat there was a little secondhand Shop full of antiques. So much so that it seemed more a Museum than a shop! Everybody seemed to be able to speak a little German and if not their amazing english skills were impressive! I hope you have a wonderful time in Egmond aan Zee.
