Hampshire Golfhotel - Waterland Purmerend

Pleasant location and i liked the proximity to the Zaanstreek.

Nice location around and the bus service from Purmerend to Amsterdam was fast and convenient.

Peaceful thanks to its location on a beautiful golf course, decent 3-4 star hotel and we got a very good offer for a quadruple room.

To reach the hotel from Central Station keep walking along to the left, across several tram lines and cycle paths, till you come to the Arriva bus stops.

Only 25-30 minutes on the bus to Central Station, and about 10-15 minutes on bus 113 from the quaint old town of Edam, which provides bus links to many other town such as Volendam (for windmills, clog makers and cheese farms).

In addition the staff-hotel was kind, very pleased there were 4 single beds in the room as we brought an inflatable bed for our 3 y old son and the restaurant was very good.

The rooms are really spacious and comfortable (three beds in ours with ample room for another) with the ground floor rooms having patio doors leading out to a small paved area with two wicker chairs overlooking the putting green.

Very clean rooms with sparkling white bedding made up daily, room cleaned daily.

When asked for any special requests we asked if we could have a double bed as opposed to two single.

Bathroom is pretty basic with sink, loo and bath with (very efficient) shower attachment.

The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of hot and cold food, but the bar food for lunch/evening meal was something else - gorgeous food and beautifully presented and served - a real treat, and a much higher standard than I would have expected.

There's a restaurant, breakfast room, downstairs bar (wasn't open while we were there) and internet access in the lobby.

Great bar and dining rooms, a terrific buffet breakfast with friendly, helpful service.

Hotel facilities: restaurant/bar/gift shop.

We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel as 14 E per person seemed steep for children and the room is luxurious also.

While the reception/lobby area is reasonably large, the receptionist area is exceptionally small -- the size of an average desk, and there is only one person working there most of the time.

Great surroundings, good place and the staff was nice and friendly.

Staff is cordial, helpful and professional.

About 15-20 drive to Amsterdam although there was a bus service nearby but we never used it.

The hotel itself lacks some of the amenities that are often associated with 4 star hotels (no pool, gym or sauna, no air conditioning) and is very much geared up for golfers, with the reception being accessed through the golf shop.

They no longer have a pool here, but as my husband and two sons play golf this was a lovely place to end our short half term trip.

Plenty of parking for your car (which you will want to have GPS included for ease of travel).

Furthermore the room was large and clean.

Staff are very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean.

Room: spacious with a writing desk and a comfortable sofa, reasonably clean, comfortable enough.
