We booked this hotel for the proximity to the Felison Cruise terminal. The hotel was perfect for our needs. Easy check in, spacious and clean room, great view, mini fridge worked, kettled worked, safe worked, separate room for toilet and one for the shower. We didn’t use the gym and the sauna room was locked. We assume it was not working. We ate at the restaurant in the hotel for dinner one night. The meals were very good and not overpriced. Service was excellent but a little slow at first. The staff were all great and spoke English very well. There are several restaurants located within steps of the hotel plus a little corner store that sold drinks, snacks, yogurt, hummus, cheeses, some baked goods, etc. There was enough there for us to have a quasi supper the night we arrived. We also bought fruit, etc there for breakfast before walking over to the cruise port. The beach was also two minutes away and went on for miles. We will definitely stay here again if a future cruise leaves from IJmuiden.
