Beautiful property. Beautiful room. Very near the highway.

The Nest restaurant was fabulous. We were there during white asparagus season. I think it might have been the best meal I've ever had.

Only oddity was the toilet room. It was too small and you could see through the gray glass door.

worth a visit and overnight stay.

Stayed here many times and always a pleasant hotel to visit. Staff friendly and efficient. Not far to walk from the nearby railway station to the hotel so super convenient for myself. Food and drinks are getting a little expensive in the hotel but I suppose you can level that comment at many other establishments either in the Netherlands or indeed elsewhere.
One comment I'd like to make is that the bedroom lighting isn't bright enough for me and when you enter the room it really is very dark and not easy therefore to find the light switch to illuminate the bedroom especially on the first time you enter the room.

Room is large, and bathroom is really nice with a big bath.

Great location, poor service

Perfect location for cycling the tulip fields and exploring outside of Amsterdam. However, the service was poor. The front desk people didn't know routes for the tulip fields (despite my confirming in advance that the hotel had this info; indeed this was the proper season for it) and didn't know if taxis were available very early in the morning. The waiters couldn't explain what cocktails were like or how they were made, what ingredients were in certain dishes, or what cheese offerings there were. I think these are basic types of things one would expect from a hotel and restaurants, particularly those that are on the pricier side as this one. But it's a great location and nice, if basic, facility. The rooms did not have slippers, robes, or laundry bags.

Amazing Hotel but breakfast lady was rude

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this Hotel.

The decor in the hotel is amazing.
Breakfast was good.
On the first day there was a nice man making omelettes which we enjoyed.

On the second day (18th of May) there was a very rude lady making eggs. She refused to make omelettes and she treated guests like trash.

Her attitude almost ruined our lovely experience in the hotel. The managers need to speak to her to treat people better.

Stayed for a week and the hotel was immaculately clean including the rooms. The beds are amazing but the rooms were cold and the heating system hardly did anything. It was -5 outside so it's difficult to be too damning of the hotel but i was sleeping in a full tracksuit under the covers.

Staff were very attentaitive, the main restaurant served an amazing fish dish very reasonably priced, but its quite formal, and after working 10+ hour shifts i didnt fancy a formal dinner every night.

There is a gym advertised but its very very basic.

Keukenhf gardens were just magnificent - never saw anything like it and the bike ride there took us through roads with tulip fields everywhere. The weather was beautiful and the timing was perfect for the blooms.

I left here with a great impression and I will be back. I normally locate myself near a town or city centre for business meetings but on this occasion Amsterdam was very heavily booked so I opted for the Van der Valk Sassenheim and hired a car. It’s surprisingly close to Schipol Airport and near enough to Amsterdam so that you can reach most of the city within 40 minutes. I was attending a show at the RAI which was only half an hour away.If you don’t have a car there’s a train station located within walking distance of the property.The food in the main restaurant was very good and the service excellent. I recommend the risotto from the dinner menu and the breakfast buffet will leave you spoilt for choice. I had a very minor issue with my internet connection which was handled superbly by Melanie but apart from that I have nothing negative to say. This hotel is great for the business or casual traveler. The grounds are nice, parking is free, and rooms are very spacious. There’s a casino onsite which might interest some customers.Not something that would float my boat, but it’s off to the side of the hotel so it’s not in your face either. Overall I’m happy to highly recommend the Van der Valk Sassenheim.

Limited service!!!

We stayed at the hotel for two nights five people while the temperature outside was relatively hot. The first night the aircon wasn't working so we spoke to the receptionist who told us it will be fixed in the morning. The second day the aircon was heating as they technician did something wrong instead of fixing it. The receptionist couldn't really help us as technician wasnt availble and probably no availble rooms was availble so we had to accept a heating air conditioner in a hot day.By that stay at the hotel was really misrabule and unpleasant.

We love the large room, comfortable bed, wonderful restaurant and cleanness of the whole place. We traveled for a family visit and stayed 2 nights with our son of 1,5 years old. He enjoys the large room where he can walk around without hitting himself. There are 2 comfortable chairs to relax and it is quiet in the room. Staff is friendly and helpful, also in the restaurant. Do make a reservation in the restaurant because it is a very good one and tends to fill up every evening. Indeed, the excellent food and great services justify the packed restaurant. The place is easily accessible next to the motorway, still there is no disturbance at all. We enjoyed the visit and will definitely come back.

Very convenient for Sassenheim business park

I chose this hotel because it was very close to my meeting. I arrived late from London (around 1030pm) and the receptionist was very friendly and answered lots of questions about the locality and how I might find my destination on foot the next day. She was also knowledgeable about trains back to the airport.

The lobby of this hotel is modern; tiled floors, a piano, leather banquette chairs. The bar is also very contemporary.

The rooms are another story. I had a standard room. It was very 80s and not at all in keeping with the lobby. It was more like a motel room. That said, the (twin pushed together) bed was comfortable, the room and bathroom were spotless and the latter had a bath and shower cubicle. The shower was powerful and hot and there were plenty of toiletries and mini kits complimentary. There was a little table, plenty of lamps and power sockets and it was very spacious.

I went to the bar briefly and ordered a G&T. Generous measure, pleasant staff.

I had an excellent breakfast the next morning; a vast selection of breads, muffins, jams, cold cuts, smoked salmon, cheeses, eggs and bacon etc as well as very nice coffee despite it being from a machine (it was fresh beans though). I chose just a fresh piece of rye bread, smoked salmon, cheese and a hard boiled egg. Very nice.

I had forgotten to pack an adaptor plug and they were able to supply me with a loaner.

All in all, OK to good. Rooms let the whole thing down.
