Katwijk Aan Zee Beach

Location is perfect.

very nice

Central location and although given earplugs in room they were not needed. Air-conditioning worked ok, not blasting out, but left on made the room nice and cool after returning from a day out. No tea coffee facility in room which was a bit disappointing as a cup of coffee in amsterdam is extortionate. Then again everything is. 30 quid minimum for a round of 4 beers. Ouch. Rooms a bit dated but clean and serviced every day. Friendly staff and good security with the lift needing your door card to operate. Maybe an ironing board in room would be nice. Didn't have breakfast but looked ok when viewed. View was of street and not sure on the "canal view" stated in the blurb. Maybe one room had a view but seemed unlikely. Overall I liked the hotel very much and would stay again but not until amsterdam gets cheaper or the pound gets better exchange rate or hopefully both. Took a ride on the double decker train to the coast. 2 tickets 66 euros!!! Another ouch.
