The room was a bit more basic and bathroom less modern than other Van der Valk hotels but was well located for my husband to do a “Z” Parkrun! Added bonus was the inclusion of entry to the bird park the hotel is next to - we really enjoyed our visit there in the morning!

Comfortable Family Stay

Checking in was quick and smooth, and the employees at the front desk were very kind and sweet. We stayed in a family suite that was well-priced and very comfortable for all 5 of us. We had plenty of space and everything was clean and easy to use. We struggled to find a place in Amsterdam that was suitable for families and I am glad we stayed here instead, we will definitely stay here again for our next trip to Amsterdam.

A Hotel that is next door to a Bird Park

We booked this hotel as we wanted to go the De Haar Castle which is located just outside Utrecht. However, to our amazement this hotel is next to a Bird Park and when you stay at the Van Der Valk Avifanua this entitles you to visit this park free of charge. The reason I am telling you this, is this is not pointed out when you check-in!!!
