Van der Valk Hotel A4 Schiphol

Already more times stayed in this hotel near A4/Schiphol airport. Appriciate comfortable rooms, good breakfast - in the past it used to be even richer, now as they built new building/extension it was bit less but I think it was only temporary. The extensions look nice, it seems they will be prepared for even more quests. Also good access to airport with shuttle bus. I will use also in the future for my travels to the Netherlands.

as mentioned above the breakfast used to be richer, but I estimate it was only a temporary thing now due to new buildings /building extension.

The hotel room was cleverly designed. The bath area featured separate spaces for the toilet, shower, and wash basin. This thoughtful layout made it a breeze for two people to utilise different parts of the bath area simultaneously, without any hassle. But what truly set this room apart was the full glass wall, adorned with the painter's playful master piece, “The Company of Captain Albert Bas and Lieutenant Lucas Conijn” by G. Flinck, which added a touch of humour and uniqueness. At breakfast, the array of options, including cold cuts, fresh-made omelettes, and a variety of hot and cold beverages, were a delightful start to the day. But the real highlight was the "pancake machine" that magically produced two freshly made pancakes with just a wave of the hand!!! There was also a reliable and punctual hotel shuttle bus service for transportation to and from the airport which was very convenient. It eliminated the stress of finding alternative transportation methods and ensured a smooth transition between the hotel and the airport.

During one of our visits to the hotel's restaurant, we were excited to enjoy a delightful meal. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a lack of assistance when trying to be seated. Despite three members of the restaurant staff seeing us standing at the entrance, eagerly waiting to be seated, nobody approached to assist us but pretended to be busy looking for hand towels or speaking with each other.

I stay in this hotel regularly, so it was on expected superb level as usual. This time I did not used breakfast, but usually it is very rich and tasty. Quick check-in and check out, with superb airport shuttle as usual.

Lots of options in Breakfast, high value for the money. Rooms are comfortable, toilet is seperated from the bathroom which is great usage. Rooms are also large with balconies. Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean rooms, daily cleaning is also available.

Location seem to be inconvenient, a bit far from center. However hotel has free shuttles to the Schiphol Airport which takes 10 mins and then you can use the train to the center which is around 15-20 mins. A bit far but at least Transportation is easy. The hair drier were not working in my room, luckily the weather was ok. Also air conditioner was a little bit noisier.

I stayed 2 days at the hotel.The room was big, minimal and clean and had a balcony. The bathroom was comfortable with hot water, clean towels and hair dryer.The amenities included a coffee machine but there were only 2 coffee capsules.i didn't asked for extra because I bought coffee from the 2 coffee shops across the street from the hotel and it was great. There was no refrigerator in the room but you could leave your stuff at the reception's refrigerator and pick it up later, as I did. Also there was a swimming pool with warm water in a heated area overlooking the garden.You could get towels from the reception for free. In the same area there were also facilities with a steam bath, sauna and infrared radiation that you could use for free. The environment was warm and clean and smelled of lavender. This was my favorite area in the hotel that i visited and enjoyed the properties of the water. The only problem was that the hotel was in a remote area and if you didnt have a car it was hard to get around but the hotel shuttle came and go to Schiphol station every half hour so you could get that for free and go there and then take a train or bus and go wherever you want. I will definitely stay at the hotel again. Thank you for the comfortable stay 🙏

We had a room only booking. The room was very large and very comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the countryside view at the back of the hotel which was a big added bonus. You can see the sunrise from the balcony to the side. It was wonderful watching the assorted wildlife, which was unexpected. We loved how you could hop on the regular shuttle to take you to the airport in order to pick up the train and also the Keukenhof express coach. We had an early flight the last morning and we had an easy, very reliable shuttle to the airport. The hotel is very large but it was quiet and smart. My husband used the bar a couple of times which was very pleasant.

Coffee supplies were rather minimal (3 capsules for 2 people). A small fridge would be good.

I like the free shuttle bus service between the airport and hotel. The restaurant and the bar are really nice for travellers who spend their night in this hotel. Self-service snack bar, nice and quick.

I put the do not disturb sign at my room but they still came in to clean my room, I don't know what happened. Our colleaug chose and lived in this hotel for several nights and she got a bottle of champagne from the reception but we couldn't bring in to the restaurant..it's a little strange and they offer the same champagne in the menu.. My colleague got knocking her door for tea or coffe so many times from random people. The security system need to be improved in this hotel, especially it's a airport temporary traveller oriented hotel. Shuttle bus day time service is free but we came a bad experience. The shuttle left earlier 2minutes before than the scheduled time..it's so weird and luckily I was going to shopping that day, not schedule to catch a airplane.

Amazing Hotel for a very reasonable price, facilities are exceptional and the restaurant good, reception very helpfull, and the rooms are the biggest i've ever seen in a hotel, the (new) bar is cozy and I can imagine in summer its the best place to hang... and if you want something different, at 20 meters walk you can find a KFC, Delifrance, Febo a La Place and a Truckstop restaurant (good taste!) and if you like you can try your luck in the casino, all that in a 5 minute drive from the airport, and the hotel even have a bus service to take you there (or back).

This is not so much as a didn't like, it's more a tip: Keep an eye on the website as they are doing extensive renovations, and not all facilities may be working at the time of your visit.

I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone having a longer layover in Amsterdam. There is a free convenient shuttle from and to Schiphol airport every 40 minutes. Even though there was a large influx of people at the reception from the shuttle, the check-in was quick and very efficient. The staff is very friendly. The entire hotel is renovated and the design feels fresh and modern. Our room was very modern, spacious and bright with a smaller bathroom and enough storage for our belongings. However I have to say that the best part of our stay was the breakfast buffet which was truly amazing. Everything you could have thought of (and more) was there for you to taste. The assortment of baked goods-sweet or savoury, cheeses and cold cut was just endless. It’s a perfect place to stay if you have a day or two in Amsterdam. We will definitely come again.

The hotel is beautiful! The interior design is exquisite and the restaurant is perfect. Very friendly staff and very helpful. The bathroom was amazing...a large jacuzzi bath and a double sized rainfall shower was much needed after a full day of driving and seeing clients.

My room was positioned on a side of the hotel which made it very noisy when aeroplanes were taking off. However, I was granted a room change and that room was much quieter! At first look I thought the mattress was going to be uncomfortable...but I was totally wrong!! It was incredibly comfortable...I had a solid night's sleep!
