Van der Valk Hotel A4 Schiphol

Already more times stayed in this hotel near A4/Schiphol airport. Appriciate comfortable rooms, good breakfast - in the past it used to be even richer, now as they built new building/extension it was bit less but I think it was only temporary. The extensions look nice, it seems they will be prepared for even more quests. Also good access to airport with shuttle bus. I will use also in the future for my travels to the Netherlands.

We were at the back of the hotel, with a balcony over viewing car parks and fields, once checked in we parked near the rear entrace and used that until the day of departure. There were airport style luggage trollies which took a coin and was useful for loading in/out. The room was massive and beautifully decorated, technically twin beds next to each other which is better for sleep and really comfy. Walk in shower was great, no door to the bathroom, but there was on the toilet so all good. Absolutely loved it Partner was worried about noise with the airport close, but with the balcony door shut we heard no noise at all and she's very sensitive :D

The hotel room was cleverly designed. The bath area featured separate spaces for the toilet, shower, and wash basin. This thoughtful layout made it a breeze for two people to utilise different parts of the bath area simultaneously, without any hassle. But what truly set this room apart was the full glass wall, adorned with the painter's playful master piece, “The Company of Captain Albert Bas and Lieutenant Lucas Conijn” by G. Flinck, which added a touch of humour and uniqueness. At breakfast, the array of options, including cold cuts, fresh-made omelettes, and a variety of hot and cold beverages, were a delightful start to the day. But the real highlight was the "pancake machine" that magically produced two freshly made pancakes with just a wave of the hand!!! There was also a reliable and punctual hotel shuttle bus service for transportation to and from the airport which was very convenient. It eliminated the stress of finding alternative transportation methods and ensured a smooth transition between the hotel and the airport.

From check-in to check-out our stay couldn't have been better. Reception staff were very courteous, always with a smile and answered any questions we had. The room was quite large by most European standards and we loved the Dutch themed artwork incorporated into the design of the room which we found very interesting. The restaurants were exceptional, the service staff across the board were friendly and efficient. The food of course was plentiful and excellent. The shuttle service to and from Schiphol was invaluable to us, and many thanks to the driver for not driving off when we were running to catch it at the airport. I managed to just catch the back door and knock on it, the driver saw us and stopped, so courteous of him to do that. Will definitely stay here on our next trip to Amsterdam!

I stay in this hotel regularly, so it was on expected superb level as usual. This time I did not used breakfast, but usually it is very rich and tasty. Quick check-in and check out, with superb airport shuttle as usual.
