Vlaardingen Van der Valk Hotels accommodation

A great hotel in a perfect location. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The hotel is located in Scheveningen overlooking the beach and the North Sea. The tram and bus to take you into the city center are conveniently located right on the corner ,1 block away. The Scheveningen promenade is right at the hotel doorstep. Lots of great restaurants are within walking distance.

The staff (and to be fair all the Dutch I spoke to on the trip) were so lovely and helpful, we enjoyed a couple of extra beers and lost our room key and they just issued us another, they were busy however still took the time to look up bus times and suggest good local restaurants. The staff were a real credit to the hotel. The bed was really comfy and there was an extra pillow in the room for us. The decor is cool and there was TV with a couple of UK channels so this was nice too. Everything was modern and in good order and it is right in the middle of town so it doesn’t matter which direction you walk - you hit shops and cafes.

Hotel is easy walking distance from Rotterdam Central Station. We arrived early and they served us free cappuccino and chocolate. They also let me check in early as I had a cold and wanted to rest. The free breakfast was excellent too. I recommend them.
