The room was a bit more basic and bathroom less modern than other Van der Valk hotels but was well located for my husband to do a “Z” Parkrun! Added bonus was the inclusion of entry to the bird park the hotel is next to - we really enjoyed our visit there in the morning!
Plenty of free parking. Free access to interesting bird and animal park. Nice restaurant with excellent breakfast choice. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
A great hotel, the food hall is brilliant.
Its clean and tidy.
The zoo next door, that is well worth a walk round, mainly birds, is free to hotel guests.
There is a boat trip across the road.
For Zegerplas parkrun its the closest hotel.
So easy to get to, Amsterdam Airport, go to bus stop B5 A 470 bus runs mainly in bus lanes and soon covers the 14.9 miles to the hotel. Then a nice 1 mile walk to the hotel.
Its a 3.5 k warm up walk to the most beautiful parkrun, around a very large lake, that take your breath away.
Worth a 5 star.
Comfortable clean room. Wish I’d booked 2 nights! Enjoyed the free entry to the bird park next door. The lady who checked me in was excellent and helped me plan my journey to Zegerplas the following morning (arranged bicycle rent). The restaurant staff were excellent and the food was great. The check-out team were very patient when I checked out a little late, then left something in the room.
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.
We enjoyed our stay. The room was comfortable and it was nice to have a room with a small terrace. The bird sanctuary and zoo was really enjoyable. It was a nice bonus.
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.
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.
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!!!
