Reception staff were helpful. This is a converted prison and so quirkily interesting. The bed was fine and the room was spacious. However I couldn’t find any light switches other than at the door. Only way to turn off the lights was to remove the card key from its slot. Sink only had cold water so impossible to shave.

heb afgesproken met vrienden voor eten en drinken in Alkmaar en woon zelf ver weg. Dus 1 nacht verbleven. Dat is prima gegaan. Leuk is dat je nog duidelijk sporen ziet van de vorige bestemming van het gebouw. (Gevangenis) Alkmaar is trouwens ook wel een mooie stad om te bezoeken met traditionele panden en grachtjes.

Free parking is hard to get in Alkmaar, but from 17:00-9:00 it is free at the public parking next to the hotel (before passing the barrier) when you have the” pay by phone “ app you can easily pay if you need a bit longer. Enter through the Westerweg.

My cup of tea

We had a very good nights sleep in excellent quality beds and bedwear! We appreciated that radiators worked very quick to warm up the room in the morning and the possibility to have a cup of tea in the room. The windows are thick so we heard no noice whatsoever and talking about the back side of the hotel; the parking was free during the weekend. What we missed was schampoo in the shower, we are used to have toiletry included in hotels.
The hall area - you can tell it’s been a prison.
Beds are high and the are curtains to avoid being seen from outside.
You get two “cells”; one for the bed and the other for shower and a sitting area.

Die Türen schließen sehr laut, dadurch tatsächlich Gefängnis Feeling aber schlechter Schlaf… Sessel im Zimmer sehr fleckig. Personal teilweise unfreundlich. Hotel hat genügend Parkplätze die leider nicht kostenlos sind und zudem eng. Lage des Hotels in Alkmaar sehr gut. Das Restaurant ist zu empfehlen aber bitte reservieren.

Leuke accommodatie in een oude gevangenis, sfeer echt tof! helaas was onze superieur kamer erg gehorig en blijkbaar naast een opslag / schoonmaak verzamelpunt dus veel rumoer Er komen regelmatig vliegtuigen over en daarnaast werd er nog volop geklust waardoor van nachtrust weinig sprake was en we al slalommend tussen de ladders onze kamer uit moesten.
