Hooge Zwaluwe Vacation Packages

Lovely family room although this was in the building across the road and involved dragging suitcases up and down stairs to get to the room. The WiFi also didn’t work which was a shame.

I really enjoyed our stay in this characterful hotel which was very well located in the city of Bruges. You’ll need to pre book parking, and it is a few minutes walk away from the hotel. Staff and service were very good and attentive. Our room was in a building across from the main hotel and was a great size, the bathroom was huge!! My only disappointments were a) very thin and small towels b) large, unsightly and noisy fridge in the bedroom which we had to unplug at night and c) no USB sockets for charging phones/tablets. The bar room is beautiful for a drink before heading out for dinner. Breakfast is excellent, what a fantastic choice! We travelled with our dog, and felt very welcome with him. For breakfast, we had a table set up in the bar room which opens up into the breakfast room so we felt like we had our own private dining room!! It’s a great place to stay - if the room ‘niggles’ were sorted I’d give it 5*.

Excellence Redefined Our short stay (three days) at the Tivoli Doelen ticked all the boxes. The location was excellent: central and easy to reach from Amsterdam Central Station, just one stop on the Metro. All the major tourist attractions are within easy walking distance, including the museums and the Rembrandt House Museum, with scenic canal-side paths throughout the city. Cleanliness was exceptional, and the rooms were prepared and maintained to the highest standard. The rooms had clearly been refurbished and were beautifully and tastefully decorated. There was even a British three-pin plug socket in our room! The attention to detail was second to none. As previous reviews have mentioned, if your budget allows, I would recommend upgrading to a room overlooking the canal. It is well worth the extra cost. Breakfast was exceptional, with a superb selection of high-quality food, all prepared to an excellent standard. If possible, try to arrive early to secure a window seat, although all the tables offer a pleasant atmosphere, with the canals taking centre stage. If fine dining is your thing, I strongly recommend treating yourself to dinner in the restaurant one evening. The food is of the highest standard. Balance this with eating out around Amsterdam, where there is a huge variety of restaurants to choose from. Finally, what really makes the Tivoli stand out is its staff. From the front desk team and restaurant staff to the duty manager, everyone was outstanding.
