We stayed at the NH Zandvoort for 3 nights. Hotel was booked through hotels which had great rates! Rooms were nice with super comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water in the morning! When asked, the hotel staff provided maps of the town.

The hotel breakfast cost 16 Euro which is a bit pricey. So, we found a bakery, Paap, located at Raadhuisplein 2 which sold an extensive variety of breads, rolls, and other pastries. The store next to Paap had a small cafeteria which served a small assortment of food and beverages (loved the hot chocolate). Also, Paap was open on Sunday!!!

Parking at the hotel was around 7 euros a day. Since the hotel parking lot was full, we had to park at the parking lot (Paddock) across from the hotel. The parking attendant charged 4.50 euro a day which was a bargain!

The town of Zandvoort is a 30 minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal and a 30 minute drive from Keukenhof. Perfect town to use as a travel base.

Hotel Nh Zandvoort--in charming seaside resort--which can be wall-to-wall with people in summer--is quiet, brisk, charming in the winter. The town is easily accessible by train from Haarlem and Amsterdam, is not far from Schiphol, and the hotel has an accommodating staff and good amenities. An easy walk to the center of town--where good shops and some excellent restaurants are open year round. Friendly atmosphere--a convenient bus to go to neighboring Haarlem, and a vintage train station with plenty of trains in and out. Our room had a refrigerator, egg cooker, tea kettle, microwave, and plenty of room to stretch out. We had a relaxing and invigorating week walking along the dramatic dunes and enjoying the stark seascape.

Stayed at the NH Zandvoort for two nights in June 2004 with my wife. Weather was wet & windy when we arrived and stayed dull throughout most of our stay - the resort looks a little sad and tired when the weather is poor but a bit of sun really brings it alive esp. at weekends when day trippers flood in via train (10-15 mins walk away).
The hotel staff were friendly overall and we enjoyed some nice breakfasts and an excellent 3 course dinner for Euro 25.
Our deluxe room was very spacious and fairly well kept. I had asked for a double bed but this turned out to be two twins pushed together - not very romantic !
The room also had a sofa-bed large enough for two (small) people.
The hotel is at the end of the main coast road and next to the F1 race track - the hotel has day packages available for those who would like to learn to race (saloon) cars.
My wife used the "Beauty Centre" at the hotel and found it to be good but expensive.
The train journey into Amsterdam takes about half an hour and costs about Euro 5 with a change in Haarlem.
