Hotel Zand

  : The layout was good and the Hotel contact was very helpful.
  : The curtains were broken so they wouldn't close fully, being on the ground floor with people smoking outside the window made it difficult with privacy.

  : Great position, bed and shower. The host is really nice and helpful.
  : The window cannot be opened completely but only tilted and the room gets very warm.

  : It's not that easy to come up with many positive points as to Hotel Zand. Apart from the beach being within easy walking distance (around 7-10min depending on your walking speed or around 500-600m) and the main shopping area also being very close nothing comes to mind spontaneously.
  : The hotel(room) feature description is in many aspects not accurate or highly misleading. The indicated distance of 350m to the beach must be the linear distance, the actual walking distance is closer to 500-600m - but this is only a minor point. So is declaring a concrete backyard a picknick area. More important is e.g., that our room (No. 1) was not furnished with a wardrobe as promised in the description, it only had a rather small, wibbly open rack. Many rooms (including our room) face a busy street (Hogeweg, N201) which is the main access road in Zandvoort leading to the beach. Accordingly if you get one of these rooms you have to cope with heavy traffic noise and (if you have a room on the ground floor) passers-by peeping into your window. Our bathroom (and as we could see also the bathrooms of other rooms) was extremely small. In fact, it was so small that you couldnt sit normally on the toilet with the toilet door closed, you either had to leave the door open or sit sideways. Even worse was the sink. It was so tiny that you couldnt even wash your face without flooding the whole floor. And to top it all off, the bed was so uncomfortable (very soft mattress) that we woke up with violent backache each morning. The service quality and responsiveness of the staff was far below average. The employee rushing through the motions of a check-in and giving insufficient advice on parking possibilities was just a nuisance. Rather unacceptable was the fact, that the staff did not respond to a service request asking to fix the suspension of a surfboard that was hung up over the head end of our bed (one of the dowels was already halfway out of the wall). We contacted the staff on this security relevant matter on Tuesday morning and until we left on Thursday nobody had shown up to fix it.

  : Very small rooms but that was to be expected.

  : The rooms have been very clean on our arrival and the location is perfect, close to the centre and close to the sea.
  : One of the rooms was problematic, the heating was leaking, the TV was not working and the window was to the backyard where all the people of the house meet. Also the window (room was in the ground floor) could not be proberly opened. Alghough we informed the leaking heating on the very first day of our arrival, it wasn't fixed and a room change was also not offered.
