Our stay at the hotel was very enjoyable. We received a helpful welcome text prior to arrival and reception staff were friendly and efficient when we checked in. Our room was quiet, spacious and very comfortable. The 11.30 checkout enabled us to take part in Zagerplas parkrun, return and shower before departure. We were delighted to learn that our booking entitled us to free admission to the adjacent Avifunda Birdpark and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there.

The free entrance to the zoo park just beside the hotel is a bonus. The breakfast 18 Euro is great and convenient.
The only negative review is the bathtub and the side towel rack were not cleaned properly.

The staff treated my mom and her friend like Gold. The property is stunning, the rooms are so comfortable, the tub- beautiful. The food, incredible. Was a shot in the dark with this location but mom and her friend absolutely loved every second of every aspect of this experience.

Comfortable Family Stay
Checking in was quick and smooth, and the employees at the front desk were very kind and sweet. We stayed in a family suite that was well-priced and very comfortable for all 5 of us. We had plenty of space and everything was clean and easy to use. We struggled to find a place in Amsterdam that was suitable for families and I am glad we stayed here instead, we will definitely stay here again for our next trip to Amsterdam.

Nice place. A bit dated and there is a casino outside so loud at night if you keep your window open. But safe and nice place.

Restaurant was brilliant. Reception staff were very helpful on all occasions.
Room large with good amenities. Only one difficulty and that was the heating was inadequate even though reception gave clear instructions on temperature control.

A Hotel that is next door to a Bird Park
We booked this hotel as we wanted to go the De Haar Castle which is located just outside Utrecht. However, to our amazement this hotel is next to a Bird Park and when you stay at the Van Der Valk Avifanua this entitles you to visit this park free of charge. The reason I am telling you this, is this is not pointed out when you check-in!!!
