Strandhotel Golfzang in Egmond Aan Zee

Fantastic location, very spacious rooms, nice bathroom. Quiet. Would have rated it a four but: - only two plastic and carton cups in room; no glasses or cups. - cheap plastic chairs and table on balcony - no coffee / tea machine maker; only a kettle - told to remove car from garage (having paid for it) by noon even though we only arrived at 5pm the previous night. Asked for an extra hour as there was plenty of space (new guests not arriving anyway till check in time) but was told no - lots of choice for breakfast but the orange juice was horrible, scrambled eggs bone dry plus fruit salad seemingly from a tin - none of the above a real issue and a nice enough hotel but we probably expected a little more for 300 euro per night Top tip: the restaurant next door (Bruutt) was very good!

We stayed for 2 nights in a sea view room and it was just ok. Like a worn down Holiday Inn. Hardly a 4 star. Carpets stained and worn out. Room requests not heeded. Toilet had a bit of smell to it so had to keep restroom door closed. Not a recommended stay. We chose this place as not many hotels on the coast actually offer a sea view from your room. This place did. But we requested a high floor room as we are light sleepers. We were placed on the first floor right above the entrance and next to the main stairwell. No apology (and honestly some attitude from the young woman at reception checking us in). Just that the hotel was full. We had booked and prepaid month in advance but they could not figure it out still. The sauna had a broken steam room which smelled of urine. The dry sauna and infrared are quite small and must be booked in advance. Breakfast was fine. Difficult to find tables at times so we started bringing trays up to our balcony instead. Much more enjoyable that way. Having said that a/c worked well and there was sufficient storage space. Housekeeping could do to wipe the shelves though, lots of dust and hair there.
