Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal

It's priced to set heightened expectations and Kasteel Bloemendal certainly exceeded even those. We had booked dinner but were running late and called reception to ask if the reservation could be pushed back. No problem and we finally arrived 10 minutes before the latest table booking time. The receptionist, who gave a perfect welcome, immediately contacted the restaurant (without us prompting her) to push out the reservation yet again to give us more time to settle in and freshen up. Room, the Tower Suite, was perfect as was dinner and breakfast. Highly recommended!

We had a beautiful room looking into the back garden. Excellent breakfast with plenty of variety. The grounds are amazing with a lovely fountain and walking paths. Great hiking close by. The Main Street is around the corner with nice restaurants and cafes.

This was our first stay ever at a vd Valk hotel and I start with the positive things. 1) Staff at the lobby and the breakfast very friendly and helpfull. 2) When we arrived we got an other room after a complaint without any problem. What disappointed us strongly were the following. 1) We got a room where the carpet all over had black smudges which looked really dirty. 2) The bed in the new room was on the side facing to step out like a slide at a holiday park. It was worn out by the" heavy weights" over time and never repalced. I fixed this problem temporarely myself by turning the very thick second mattrass over. 3) My wife and I were not able to watch our own old digitized pictures and short video's (TV has an USB port) because the television terminated everything in such that we even could not watch TV at all. Watching only TV was restored by a very helpfull staff member. 4) Between my bed and the wall were a lot of big and thick parts of clocked together dust. (see pictures) These rooms stay very dark even with all "lights"turned on and by accident I noticed this because I used my flashlight in the night. 5) Vd Valk send us by e-mail a voucher for a welcome drink which did not specify any period of validity. When were thirsty the last day we decided to use it and went to the lobby and showed this voucher and the answer was that it was only valid on arrival. When I told the lady that this voucher did not mentioned anything about it she then told us to get a cup of coffee where we just had breakfast 1 hour before. This first acquaintance (in Dutch kennismaking?) with vd Valk hotels was ice cold and for us never more. So to say, our first and last.

Es la segunda vez que me hospedo en el Hotel y esta vez he ido con mi familia (3 habitaciones), la comida es deliciosa y el personal en el restaurante es súper servicial, siempre atentos y contentos. El personal de recepción por segunda vez frío y no te hacen sentir bien venido (es gente joven, podrían por lo menos sonreír) una pena por que el Hotel es genial!

Toch een mooie en unieke ervaring in een Valk hotel annex restaurant. Zeer ruime en nette kamer met terras dat connectie had met de spectaculaire tuin. Het restaurant is een Michelin ster waard. Onberispelijke bediening en tact in het restaurant, alhoewel er een paar minpunten waren aan de receptie. Dit was storend maar alles daarnaast loste onze verwachtingen in.

mooi hotel en vriendelijk personeel, maar de prijzen zijn echt fors omhoog geschoten !het menu is culinair en hun bepalen wat je eet ,een flesje water 50 cl voor bijna 7 euro een flesje 1862 wijn 30 euro ,wat op de valk site te koop staat voor 5,95 ,je kan geen los kopje koffie of thee krijgen na het diner, moet juist met zoetigheden besteld worden.
