    Amazing hotel from the outside and the inside. Beautiful view from top floor. The hotel is near train station and the main colourful road. Next to entrance is McDonald and a lot of shops. Extremely helpful and nice crew. The room so big and comfy. The bathroom with sauna and shower and bubbles bath is perfect combination to fully relax. The hotel have one floor for wellness with pool and sauna and gym. Breakfast is excellent, a lot to choose and tasty. The TV is on rotating stand and you can watch from every place in the room. It was extremely refreshing and delicious experience. I will be coming back for sure. It is 100% of pleasure and 100% of joy to stay there. I recommend the hotel in 200%

    After living in the EU for three years, and several business trips this is in the top 5 of memorable, fun, and full service hotels I have stayed at in Europe. Aside from the quirky, yet fun architecture its your standard hotel. I like this one in particular because it had everything from an inside pool to a great restaurant. It's larger than your average EU hotel, yet smaller than those in NA. The breakfast buffet was top quality and had EU & NA offerings. What makes this hotel stand out is its proximity to Amsterdam and its adjacent to the tram. Within 10-15 minutes you'll be at the main train station in Amsterdam or the airport. Zaandam is a hip, modern, yet quieter option. Also, two stops away is a historic park showcasing Dutch history and architecture. In many ways this hotel is clean, better priced, great location, and fun. We traveled the with our then 2 year old and found it very child friendly and safe. Enjoy =)

    Great room, services and service from staff. The color scheme and materials used in the room themselves are a bit clean/modern/boring. Missing some softer and more colourful materials. Bed was just fine, AC also did a perfect job. Rooms were quiet. Mid center Zaandam, next to the shops, nice!!

    We didn't stay here, just pass by and totally astonished by its unique architect style! Looks like a fairy tale house that is made of Lego! 😂 I would say even this place is probably not on your list of hotel choices, come and just to take a look at it and make some photos! It's just fascinating!

    One of the most famous buildings of the Zaandam region. It is really enjoyable and beautiful to watch. Too many tourists come here to take pictures. The number of spaces around is a bit but sufficient. More colorful activities and areas can be included.

    Close to the train station, yet quiet. The rooms are a bit small. The bed was comfortable. Bring your own toiletries. Towels were rough as well. The hotel restaurant was overpriced and lacked flavor. (Dinner) The presentation was nice though. Overall would stay again if in Zaandam.

    The landmark stands as a testament to impressive architecture, with meticulously maintained surroundings. Its strategic location near the railway station enhances accessibility. For photography enthusiasts, the golden hour between 9 am and 10 am on weekends offers the perfect window to capture its captivating beauty, making it a visually stunning experience.While capturing the landmark's beauty, be mindful not to obstruct cyclists, ensuring a seamless coexistence between photography enthusiasts and those utilizing the nearby cycling routes.

    I just got back from a 4 night stay at Inntel and it was wonderful. The hotel itself is beautiful, the staff was very nice and it is located in a great location; close to walk to restaurants and shopping in the Zaandam area with easy access to the train station. My room had a deep bathtub which was great for soaking after long days of walking. You can't go wrong staying here.

  • 3/5 Ka L. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a three night stay in this hotel last week. It has clean rooms, comfy beds and a big bathroom. Unfortunately there are no sockets next to the bed and it was a bit noisy (our room was in direction of the train station). A big downside was that it doesn't offer decent vegan options for breakfast (except vegetables and bread). But luckily the shops around do. If we come again to Zaandam, we might try another hotel. Edit 26.04.2023: referring to the Hotels response: We especially asked during our check in if you offer vegan options for breakfast. We got the answer that we can eat bread and vegetables... This is definitely not taking the guests wishes or preferences into account. Nevertheless it might be helpful for many many guest to declare the allergies of your products. It's not very convenient to ask for each and every product which allergens are contained.

    Don’t feel scared to go for a hotel just a bit out of Amsterdam because what made this hotel so amazing is many things. 1. It was about 5 minute walk to the station and then 20 minutes to Amsterdam Central. 2. The staff were always so lovely. Even to helping fix the vending machine for little late snack. 3. Bedrooms were so clean not a problem in sight. 4. Pricing was reasonable and it was so worth it I forgot how much we originally paid. Overall the area was so beautiful and lovely that I would recommend it if you’re okay with a little travelling.

    Initially, I was excited to stay in this hotel so I booked 2 rooms for my family vacation from 16-20 Dec 2023. Other than the outlook of the building, this hotel is over-rated. I have visited several countries with 3 to 4 starred rating, none of them provides such poor room amenities. No mineral water but need from drink tap water, no room slippers or bath robes, no toothbrush but only give the customers sewing kits. 2 miserable disposable cups and some plastics cups. Plastics cups for 4 starred hotel? Never heard before. I guessed the 4 starred rating is because of their generosity in proving a sewing kits 🙃…Not fit to pass as a 4-star hotel. I would rate it at most 2.5 starred hotel. 3 starred is too high but 2 starred is too low. Not to mention the tiny gym and pool. Feels like an Air BnB and hotel hybrid…vinyl flooring for a 4 starred hotel?

    Great hotel, highly recommend !!! the location is great as it’s only a 12 minute train journey to Amsterdam central. I really do recommend to pay that little bit extra and get the Founders Suite as it was unbelievable, with the private sauna and whirlpool bath. The stuff was amazing on the desks, such a 10/10 experience. :)

    Very modern cool looking hotel, cannot miss it when you come out of zaandam station. The rooms were smaller than I expected but was still very comfortable and clean. The staff are super helpful, If you need location to anything they would be happy to print you out maps and timetables. Would stay again.

    A really unique hotel with all of the modern fixtures & fittings. It is conveniently located next to the train station, in a very artistic part of Zaandam. The restaurant downstairs (Puur Saen) serves incredible four star food with great service. I would highly recommend this hotel for a unique romantic getaway.

    Lovely hotel, welcoming staff and great facilities and location. It is very near to the bus and train stations. If you are a light sleeper it maybe worth taking earplugs if you happen to be station side. Only 10 minutes to Amsterdam by train. Local shops and restaurants within walking distance.

    This building is made up of 70 stacked traditional Dutch houses. That's a nice architecture for a #Hotel.

    Very nice hotel located just outside of the centre. The hotel has some great amenities including a personal sauna in the room. Rooms are spacious and clean with both a shower and a bath. The breakfast is good and has a lot of variety to choose from. The staff are also very friendly and helpful during check in.

    Good hotel in Zaandam. The sorroundings is basically a big shopping mall that after 17 gets empty and there are mostly drunk groups of teenagers. The rooms are big but would benefit to get less minimalist furniture. The bathrooms were quite new. Good breakfast, nice gym and pool.

    It is a very interesting building with modern architecture. It’s definitely the highlight of the area. Other buildings around also have similar style. I really liked it. The train station is very close.

  • 5/5 Yani T. 8 months ago on Google
    I'm in love with this hotel. Will choose again for my next visit. The rooms are small but cosy, had everything we needed, very clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a bath and a shower, and again, it was very clean and shiny. The staff was amazingly sweet and helpful, always smiling and approachable. Thank you 😊

  • 5/5 K D. 7 months ago on Google
    Highly recommend this. Very clean, beautiful exterior and neat interior! We enjoyed our time here and found the staff friendly. Breakfast was also excellent with many options. The location is very close to the train which is very convenient!

  • 4/5 Max M. 8 months ago on Google
    Located quite far from Central (15 minutes on the train), this hotel really isn’t bad. Quality bed, clean rooms, staff are pretty nice and informative. I’d probably stay again, and recommend it if you can understand the trains (I didn’t but my girlfriend did lol). The area around it doesn’t have all too much to offer but still nice and the building is so interesting to look at.

  • 5/5 Colin B. 7 months ago on Google
    Great rooms and location. Even have ironing board and irons on floors adjacent to lifts to use. The waterfall at the side of the hotel with it's colour changing lights on an evening is a sight to see. Good breakfast and location near shops, restaurants and railway station.

  • 5/5 xNx x. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Maria Z. 6 months ago on Google
    Quirky room. I still liked it. Your room key turns the power on! View from room in middle of night. So peaceful. Stayed there in September 2022 with my daughter as she began her 4 month Semester at Sea journey. Now we are planning a trip to enjoy ourselves, hopefully in a year or so.

  • 5/5 Eva L. 6 months ago on Google
    I highly recommend this place, its only 10/15 mins away from Amsterdam. It is well located as the train station is 2 mins away from the hotel. The room we had was super clean and the bed is comfortable. We didn’t hear the trains or people in the hotel so we had a great stay. The breakfast is very nice, theres a lot of choice and the food is tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful in case of questions.

  • 4/5 Connor Gaming T. 5 months ago on Google
    We loved being in Amsterdam and loved the exterior of the hotel! The hotel looks a lot better in the photos than in real life which was a shame! Location is good for transport links but not much around the actual hotel itself! Staff were very friendly! The gym is tiny with 1 bike, 1 treadmill and 1 cross trainer as well as 1 multi gym weight machine! Food from the hotel was lovely

  • 4/5 Christian H. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely location and it's a damn cute hotel. The gym, sauna and pool are excellent and the service great. I missed that there is no included breakfast and the bar is on the pricy side.

  • 5/5 Avery Is S. 7 months ago on Google
    An amazing hotel in an amazing location. None of the horror stories we saw in other reviews were seen on our visit. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and the location of the hotel is perfect with shops, cafes and the train station all within a 5 minute walk of the main entrance!

  • 2/5 Elisa S. 4 months ago on Google
    Hello, my friend invited me over the weekend and booked a nice hotel room with them according to the internet. I thought it was a shame that there was no light on the mirror and the cosmetic mirror was very wobbly. I didn't find it really clean either. For the price of the room I really expected more. Thought it would be more modern like in the pictures. A pity

  • 5/5 Emma H. 4 months ago on Google
    What an amazing experience we had, so my fiance and I booked this hotel for my fiance's birthday. Before arriving I did email and I requested special request in the room, we got there and I asked were they in the room already but they weren't because the chef had to do the platter that was fine it was ordered and I went out for a couple of hours when we returned only the platter was there but not the rest of the request I did say it to the night staff and he left a note for the morning staff come the next day still no sign I went out early though and came back to nothing in the room so I said it again to the two ladies at reception. Unfortunately we weren't able to get the rest of the request but we got a full refund and a bottle of champagne. The staff were very apologetic and so lovely and was easy to deal with it wasn't a big deal and it was all sorted. The staff are so friendly and accommodating you won't see one without a smile. The room I did think it was going to be a bit bigger and different because of the photos online but it was ok. The rooms have all that you need if you need an iron and iron board you will get them outside the lift which was also good. The building is unique and cool and you can go out the back through the dinning area to chill also it's much better to go out the back to get to the train station which is literally 3 minutes away you won't feel that walk because the stunning buildings around you. All in all our experience was great and I'd highly recommend people to stay there I would definitely go back. Thank you to each of the staff that wason from the 18 to the 22nd of November.

    Nice hotel with OK architecture. Decent interior in the rooms. The rooms get a 4-star because the fridge was warm (10degrees celsius, I measured with my thermostat) I assume this is because they want their 3rd floor dedicated to a vending machine to be used. It also took a while before their alleged famous ‘kraanwater’ got to a cold drinking temperature. But overall good experience.

  • 3/5 Laura Del Castillo M. 2 months ago on Google New
    I book one night at the hotel as a scape get away, the architecture and the 4 stars rating caught me to book this hotel to spend a nice time. The shower and bathtub weren’t well cleaned and the bathtub wall had fungus. We had the sauna room and the wooden spoon also had fungus. We got two plastic cups to drink water. The windows are not isolated so you can hear everything on the street. Specially the noise of the escalator that runs all night outside. I don’t believe this is the standard for a 4-star rated hotel and I don’t t think I’ll stay again there.

  • 5/5 W M. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my second stay here - I also was here in late 2016. We had an very nice stay both times. The hotel is still clean and everything is looking good. The service is great. You have access to an breakfast and also to a pool (reservation for one hours is necessary). The hotel is located in the central mall of zaandam near the 'stadthuis' (city hall). The hotel itself has a very unique design and is well integrated in the architecture of the city. I am still a fan of the inntel hotel group and this hotel is part of it.

  • 5/5 Garry M. 2 years ago on Google
    Unique architecture; very helpful staff at the reception (greetings to Stephan), friendly rent-a-bike, convenient location and only 12 minutes by train to Amsterdam Centraal. Downstairs local market and a shopping street. Underground public parking offered for guests with around 15% of discount from the hotel.

  • 5/5 Nika D. 1 year ago on Google
    Minimalistic hotel. The hotel was clean and I enjoyed my stay. Any interactions with the staff was pleasant. 30 or so minutes outside of Amsterdam. Very easy to get to and from the city since the bus and train terminal is right next door. Also there is lots of shops and eateries available right outside the hotel. I will be staying here again when in the greater Amsterdam area.

  • 4/5 Joseph Hohler I. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything about the hotel was great. Good location, friendly staff and service. No complaints. EXCEPT our room had a window from the sleeping area into the toilet. Very strange feature.

  • 5/5 Lizzibles “Lizzibles” H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful hotel, lovely friendly staff, use of pool and gym too. Right near the station for a quick commute from Amsterdam but not noisy due to proximity either. Food, drink and entertain available in Zaandam too. Would recommend

  • 5/5 177Greynolds 1 year ago on Google
    Superb hotel and only an 8 euro ride from Amsterdam Centraal Railway Station. We saved hundreds of euros as a result of discovering this place. Located in a brand new development along a canal with shops either side leading to a lovely town square with pubs and restaurants. So relaxing after walking through thousands of tourists.

  • 2/5 Tia L. 1 year ago on Google
    Aesthetically unique hotel in a lovely location close to shops, restaurants and the train station. The staff are friendly and helpful. The bar staff in particular had a very positive attitude and were patient in helping us find a drink. The hotel grounds itself were clean and modern and the breakfast buffet was worth it in my opinion. Unfortunately this hotel is massively let’s down by its house keeping. Our founders suite was point blank dirty. We experienced: dead bugs, dirt on blinds, dirty in fridge, very dusty upper surfaces, off putting marks walls and surfaces And for 2 days in a row hotel glasses and empty bottles were left in the room after housekeeping had attended, not taken away or cleaned. House keeping also took it upon themselves to remove on of our room cards leaving a couple with just one. Towels and gowns had holes in them. We put them in the shower to be replaced but they just rehung them. And to top it all off the air conditioning broken. After a couple of days out patience ran out and we made a formal complaint to reception, who appeared sincere and apologetic and informed us that the cleaners will be spoken to and someone will take a look at the air conditioning. This never happened. It is also worth noting that hotel staff are much too liberal with their calls and will call the room in the morning. Likewise with housekeeping who entered the room one morning despite the do not disturb sign on the well. For the price that was paid the sauna and bubble bath do not make but for the short comings. Overall I would not recommend and will not be staying here again.

  • 4/5 Joost 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice hotel. The location is perfect, right across the trainstation. The rooms are modern, quite spacious and clean. We had a junior founders suite which came with a sauna and bathtub that we used everyday, that was really nice. One thing that annoyed me was the the screensharing does not work on the TV. They have an option to rent movies for like 10 euros but then you'd better rent them from YouTube for like 3 euros.

  • 4/5 Vladimir I. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: Very easy to reach from train station. Excellent breakfast. Rooms: clean, quiet. Cons: Left-overs in the fridge. No minibar. Huge pillows. Rooms are small with hard floors,

    Awesome place, great service and delicious food. I stayed here during December. Was very pleased with all. Wellness is great with nice sauna and cold shower. Good swimming pool. Location is awesome. Definitely favorite place to stay again soon.

  • 3/5 Oskar P. 2 years ago on Google
    Used to be a great place… but quality has dropped over the years. Rooms are stylish and comfortable but noise insulation is poor. The biggest flaw is breakfasts, which are not worth the price (18€). Just accross the street you can get better breakfast for less. I hope this wonderful spot improves!

  • 5/5 kacper r. 7 months ago on Google
    At the time of going (July 2023) it was one of the cheapest options with good access to amsterdam city centre. Great facilities although water in the pool was a touch cold which is why I rated services to be 4 starts but with a fridge in the room and the fact that it had a steam room, sauna, pool and breakfast the temperature of the water is me being really picky to be honest. Overall if its a good price you can't go wrong

  • 4/5 RedDevil085 10 months ago on Google
    Excellent hotel in the center of Zaandam. Easy to reach from the train station. The rooms were nice and clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. The only downside is the price, but that's pretty much the standard in the region these days.

  • 5/5 Karen L. 2 years ago on Google
    Our room was so comfortable, and every room has a great view?

  • 5/5 Keane N. 9 months ago on Google
    The building itself looks incredible and the hotel is just as good inside. The service was great, thanks to the staff. The rooms have a lot of character and were very comfortable and well fitted with a good bathroom. The location is great, Zaandam is a nice place to stay if you want to be away from the big city environment while visiting.

  • 4/5 keluj 1 year ago on Google
    A quirky looking hotel with standard but nice interiors. Best thing about the hotel is its location, right next to the train station and main shopping street. Main cons are overprices breakfast (18 euros per person per day) and the water pressure in the showers was really poor. The facade of the hotel is memorable, but the overall experience very average.

  • 4/5 Emily E. 9 months ago on Google
    Good hotel. Staff could be more knowledgeable with local recommendations and transport. Beds in room were a little soft and rolled around too much

  • 1/5 شيماء �. 9 months ago on Google
    Unfortunately, the worst service I have ever seen in Zaandam hotels ! Like you have to wait at least 2 hours to respond and get whatever you needs. Also, this hotel do not provide a kettle, slippers, a daily water bottles, cutlery beside the coffee section! The house keepers is the worst! they don’t clean the room they don’t change the bed sheets, towels! Moreover, the breakfast finishes at 10:00am! It would be my first and last visit I guess

  • 5/5 Cory C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Lorraine R. 8 months ago on Google
    Although you need to get the train to city centre but you can’t find the same level hotel with the same price like this. The room is wide enough and tidy. I would recommend it

  • 5/5 Kathryn L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love, love, LOVE this hotel. Have stayed here twice, but eat here regularly when I visit my fiance in Zaandam. Food is fabulous, and staff are very friendly and helpful. Bring on another 12 years of eating there. The first three pics were taken 22-5-22.
