It was called , but there are no portable heaters . Swimming pool and spa , but no robes or slippers in the rooms and not available upon request. That was disappointing.
Good location. Quiet , safe . Easy parking. Good food choices . Some front desk gals could use attitude adjustment.

Coffee provision in our room

On going to the reception on Sunday evening, I asked where we could get two more capsules of coffee for the coffee machine in our room. The reply we received from the receptionist was very poor and not what we would expect fron this hotel. The reply we received was 'There is no more free coffee, you will need to buy any further coffee from the bar. A very disappointing experience indeed.

Pleasant and Spacious Hotel

Right beside the A28 highway, this hotel was surprisingly calm with nicely appointed rooms and pleasant, welcoming staff. Van der Valk is a Dutch chain, but the quality of this hotel was way better than other chains. The restaurant was excellent, one of the best meals I have had for a long time and there was a choice of decent wine and local craft beers. I would definitely stay at a Van der Valk hotel again and look forward to doing so.

BSB in Assen

We went to watch BSB Superbikes in Assen, this hotel is in a great location. Walkable distance to Assen which is a lovely town. We drove to the TT circuit which is well signposted and has ample parking, I wouldn't walk as pavements are few ..but I would hire a bicycle to get to the circuit as the cycle paths are excellent .However parking was abs no problem so easy to take the car.
The Van Der Valk Assen is lovely very comfortable, rooms spacious spotless and very comfortable. Tea and coffee provided but not the best as only powdered crema provided and not enough if you want more than 1 cup each, you can get more when you ask for it! I had a small jug of milk which was perfect but the next couple of times I asked they gave little single pots which again don't hold enough for one cup so you never get enough.
Bar was very comfortable and the food very nice but a more limited menu however if you ask for something like soup which is on the main restaurant menu you can get it but u didn't discover this til our last night!. I feel they should.offer more options in the restaurant as it is a set deal at €29.50 pp for 3 courses, if you don't want 3 courses you can't eat in there, Buffet Breakfast is the same but €14.50. Whilst the evening meal.is not to bad value wise it is expensive if you don't want 3 courses! The breakfast is plentiful but I feel a little expensive especially if you don't eat a lot!

Amazing Place to stay, Best Breakfast in Europe

This is a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are comfortable, well furnished and designed and the quality of the linens and bedding are top notch. Rounding out the accommodation is a fantastic bar for cocktails and coffee with a fireplace and great ambiance. Also a respectable restaurant which has some exceptional offerings. The breakfast Buffett is not to be missed as it is honestly the best breakfast I have had in ANY stay, ANYWHERE in the world. Staff is very helpful.

The only cons, asked for a wake up call which never happened and missed an important meeting. I was not cautious this trip and got a room with 2 single beds rather than a larger one.

Spacious Rooms, Good Location, & Great Breakfast

We stayed here on a business trip. The location is just off the main freeway which was convenient. The room was very nice with a large bathroom, shower and tub were separate. Toiletries (shampoo, body wash, shower caps, soap) were included. The room was spacious and included a small patio. We also had the breakfast which was delicious. They had a chef making eggs to order, a variety of fruits, veggies, meats, pancakes, breads and yogurts. Coffee, tea and juice were also available. The only annoyance could be the freeway traffic if you are a light sleeper but the hotel provides earplugs if you ask. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to others.

Probably the best in Assen

I have stayed here several times. On previous trips the décor was utilitarian, with very drab corridors and uninspired rooms. However, on my most recent trip it was very clear that a lot of work had been done to update and improve the hotel. The bathrooms and restaurant, in particular, were a great improvement and the food was excellent.

Make sure you check the bill

The hotel was generally good but marred by the fact that they overcharged me a whole day which was ammended but I failed to check the bill again. They put on items I had not consumed. Checking once is bad enough but having to re check bills I may as well do the job myself. This caused expenses claim problems once back to the office and wasted time.

Not as good as we'd hoped

The room & bathroom were both spacious with plenty of storage space but the tiles in the bathroom needed re grouting and the room was in need of redecoration. Despite there being a full wall of window, the room was extremely dark as was the entire hotel - I can understand the subdued lighting in a restaurant at night but why in the rooms and corridors? The room supposedly had air conditioning but we couldn't find the control panel as described in the in room guide, resulting in an uncomfortably warm room at night - the sliding doors opened onto a communal balcony that ran the length of the building, so you couldn't leave it open in case some one came in. Although you couldn't hear anyone in the adjoining rooms ie the TV or people talking, the door mechanisms were extremely noisy - you just simply couldn't close them quietly and disturbed our sleep every night. Location of the hotel was excellent - near to the motorway exit & the Assen circuit which was the reason for our stay. Disappointing breakfast choice on the Monday compared with over the weekend, as some dishes were unavailable and the price was expensive

Assen - quiet town

We stayed in Assen to attend the Assen TT - MotoGP. Location to the track was great - it was an easy walk back to the hotel. The hotel is quiet, despite being a surprisingly large hotel. Besides the MotoGP there did not seem to be a lot to do in Assen and the town itself is not within easy walking distance. But the hotel was great - comfortable, clean, good breakfast.

Leider enttäuschend. Laut Webseite sollen die Zimmer schallisoliert sein, aber die defekte Balkontür ließ viele Außengeräusche durch. Gemeldet habe ich das bereits morgens, angeschaut wurde es erst am Abend – ohne Lösung. Die Aussage, das sei „in allen Zimmern so“, halte ich für fragwürdig.

Auch die defekte Kaffeemaschine wurde ignoriert. Dazu kamen Baustellen bzw. Unordnung auf dem Flur, was gerade über ein langes Pfingstwochenende keinen guten Eindruck macht.

Positiv war der nette Service im Restaurant. Geschmeckt hat es auch.

Beim Frühstück ist es in einem großen Hotel mit vielen Gästen sicher nicht einfach, alles perfekt zu organisieren. Trotzdem fand ich es schade, dass Wurst und Käse fast nur abgepackt angeboten wurden und die Brötchen eher nach Tiefkühlware wirkten.
