Hotel Restaurant 't Schouwse Hof  

Friendly staff Proximity to airport

1. no towel rail in bathroom 2a. asked to pay on 2nd day of 4 day stay, before breakfast b. payment apparatus not working, expected to pay cash

It's just Ok.

The hotel was comfortable, centrally located. It was in the centre square and commuting by bus to airport and Amsterdam city was very convenient. The staff was friendly and helpful, hotel very clean and neat, and rooms were cleaned daily with fresh supply of linen/towels. Aalsmeer is a very small town, quiet but very scenic. We enjoyed the duration of our stay.

Credit cards were not acceptable since the machine was out of order. We had to arrange for cash at the last minute from an ATM (which was round the corner).

Very clean, near airport & good Restaurant.

The attached restaurant, which I believe was run by the hotel staff was excellant and superb value for money. The waiter and chef were very professional, welcoming and knowledgeable.

Sadly the check out experience was not so good. After trying to pay for the evening meal separately by both credit and debit card, due to the restaurant being separateky owned, the morning waiter then informed me he didnt think it set up for my cards, which were standard Visa, and asked me to go to the nearest bank to withdraw cash. He then was not aware I had paid in full for the accomodation at the time of booking and held me up so much I nearly missed my flight. These very un-proessional and poor policies and procedures meant the e-mails I had sent the previous evening recommending the hotel to my collegues was resent asking them to ignore my earlier e-mail.

Very nice place - and a good restaurant (and far away from the citycenter of Amsterdam). Breakfast was super!

Clean, simple, family atmosphere, breakfast OK.

The service was excellent and personal. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was complete.

Two stairs , biut difficult when you have a heavy suitcase.

The hotel was simple but clean, relatively new, had nice furnishings, and the restaurant/pub looked solid; if I'd stayed there on the weekend I would have tried it out. For the price, I'd say the quality was certainly there, especially compared to other hotels closer to town (Amsterdam).

It was a little out of the way if wanting to explore downtown Amsterdam, but the transit system wasn't too hard to figure out. The walls were on the thin side. The staff could have been friendlier. Breakfast was fairly simple fare, but it was complimentary.

Situated in a small village which was peaceful and laid back except for the drone of aircraft engines from nearby Schipol airport however one soon got used to those and they were never really intrusive. The food in the evening restaurant was very good - interesting, well created, cooked perfectly and well presented.

When I arrived on a FRiday evening after a very long week I had to wait as a long line of backpackers checked in for an overnight stay. The check in was very slow and they were taking an endless time dealing with all the questions of directions, local interest, nearest curry house etc etc rather than moving it on. At the point of checking in I was informed that it was cash only as their Crad machine was not working which made things difficult and inconvenient. I requested a table in their restaurant for a meal as it was 9pm on a Friday to be told that it was fully booked and their was a take away Pizza place up the road and please come to the restaurant tomorrow. There was no tea or coffee making facilities in the room, something which I consider an essential these days when travelling a lot.

This hotel is clean, staff are friendly and very helpfull, food is very good.

Parking in this area is a problem, if you book in on a Tuesday there is no parking outside the hotel until after 6pm, but do get put off as you can buy a disc from the local shop for a few Euro`s, and park a few hundred metres away, for a short time,
