I chose this hotel for the price and the location on the Western tip of the island so I could explore that part thoroughly.
The rooms are behind the restaurant. I did not try their dinner or breakfast but I'm sure it's nice.
I had the 1 person room: a nice big bed, a small table, closet, larger and new bathroom, and beautiful prints of the island on the wall. There was a heated floor! The shower was one of those amazing rain shower heads. Divine!
The room included a mini fridge with items to purchase but large enough for your own things. There is an espresso coffee machine with the little cups that I found out was free. There's a sign next to it but I misread: what's there is free to use but if you want more coffee you can purchase. I was sad because I would have enjoyed a nice cup in the morning. Guess I should read better.
There is a modern TV (with streaming services) and free wifi. On the side of the hotel is parking for bikes.
The small town of Hollum has a few restaurants and stores. I liked the location because it was close to the lighthouse, a cute forest, and one of the broadest beaches on the island to the North of the town. There are several great places to observe birds. I found several buzzards, many Brant and Barnacle Geese, Kestrels, a lot of Oystercatchers, and some Spoonbills by the vogel uitkijkpost.
There is also a duckpond with bird area in the hollumer bos.
A short bike ride to the East is a cheese farm (Kaasboerderij Ameland) with Alpaca next to it.
