Villa Augustus is truly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It's stunning silhouette looks like a scene from Batman or Blade Runner and inside it has a stylish industrial edge that sets it apart from anywhere else. Our room on the 6th floor had stunning views over the magnificent gardens and was large and very comfortable. The staff are young, extremely friendly and ever so helpful.
The hotel has a restaurant situated across the garden and this too shares the same industrial, coffee-shop chic styling. The food is magnificent; from the sumptuous buffet breakfast of home cooked bread, fruit, preserves, cheese, ham... it goes on forever, to the elegant meals produced from the fecund vegetable garden. All fresh tasty and great value.
I would urge anyone to think a little differently when holidaying in Holland. Jump on train from Amsterdam and an hour later you'll be staying at one of the best hotels in Europe.
