    No dedicated bar, you have to sit in the Sushi restaurant to have a drink. Found that a bit odd.

    Restaurant was good. Good food well presented. Rooms comfortable and large.

    Smell coming from the bathroom plumbing work was not nice, it was reported at the front desk staff and I was expecting a commercial gesture.

    Nice place, but with "hidden" costs

    We travelled with a baby. When we entered the room, there was a baby cot already installed, although we never asked for it. We always travel with our own cot for hygiene reasons. At the checkout, we were charged +/- 20EUR for 3 nights stay for the baby cot that we never asked for. Unfortunately, we realised that we were charged additionally already in the car while driving home. I personally hate such "hidden" charges, which leave a bitter taste after the visit. This things have to discussed during the check-in and not secretly printed on the invoice.

    Friendly and welcoming staff. Super large room. Breakfast with large variety of food. The NEST restaurant is quite good. Plenty of free parking places.

    Parking was difficult at times late in the evening. Room was very dark and lighting needs to be improved especially the desk lamp. Air conditioning did not work. Rooms weren't cleaned very well or vacuumed during our 7 day stay. Smoking on Balconies was bad as smoke drifts across. Safe was not working properly.

    Free parking and free wifi was great. Hotel facilities were excellent, Games room, fitness & sauna.

    With the weather being so hot a lot of people sat outside on their balcony waiting to see the Aurora borealis which made it quite a noisy evening. Arriving at the train station where there were bo taxis I walked to the hotel which took approx 20 min but going through an empty industrial estate was a bit scary.

    Lovely spacious room with beautiful bathroom which had both a shower and a bath. The breakfast bar had everything you could think of and I particularly liked all the fresh fruits.

    Safe did not work and no resolution during our four night stay despite reporting it twice. Disappointed with restaurant management - sat outside main restaurant area despite booking a table so left feeling disappointed for special meal, and staff training issues eg no side plates for bread starter leaving crumbs all over table which weren’t cleared before next course, unused glasses and cutlery and empty bottles not cleared away.

    Good location for flower parade and good facilities.

    The hotel was more expensive than other locations and wasn't pet friendly (in thr hotel rooms). Additionally, the shower/toilet had glass doors. The shower had a blackout door, but the toilet had a clear glass door, so you could see the person going to the bathroom.

    Great location, easy to access and get to other locations. Eventhough it was on the highway, you didn't hear the traffic. Thr hotel was very modern, well maintained, and had an amazing breakfast.

    The hotel is located right next to the highway and although no rooms face the highway directly, you can hear it. There are no restaurants or shopping directly next to the hotel, it looks more like an industrial area.

    The hotel fully meets its 4 stars. The design of the interior is particularly pleasing.

    Good and bad... iron-gate really annoyed me so probably wouldn't stay again!
    • Business trip

    I requested an iron and ironing board for the room. I'd arrived late and had an early start so was in a hurry to get prepared for the next day and to bed. I was told that you can't have an iron for the room and you need to go to the ironing room. This was on the other wing of the hotel on the first floor so literally had to get dressed again and take my clothes with me down to the ground floor, across the lobby, up the other side of the hotel. This was really annoying, a major inconvenience and I have literally never heard of this before!

    Hotel was decent. Arrived just in time to get dinner before the kitchen closed and burger was good. Didn't get chance to use the gym or facilities but games room was great. Location just off the motorway was super handy too.

    The exhaust fan in the bathroom suddenly turn loud in the middle of night. The water pressure of the shower could have been higher, and the breakfast spread could've been more varied considering the price.

    Spacious room with full amenities. Cosy bar on the ground floor. Staff were kind and professional.

    Need to be renewed immediately. Carpets in the corridors are full of dirt stains and the head of the beds full of scarthes. The toilets are open and very small.

    a bit distant from everywhere especially if you head to Amsterdam a lot, better to plan your transportation well.

    Nice big room and nice balcony, breakfast was also good with a comfy bed, but it was difficult to find Uber (almost impossible), better to use a bicycle (rental is available) to the train station, and also better to buy groceries before coming back to the hotel since nothing around, though nice and quiet neighborhood.

    The TV remote could only turn on the TV and nothing else. This spoiled the impressions and plans a little. It seems like a small thing, but significant.

    Comfortable and large room with a sauna. I liked the sauna, the large, clear room. Everything is very good, except for one small nuance

    A decent hotel but mainly suitable for people traveling by car.
    • Leisure trip

    • Comfort Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It is not conveniently located for travelers arriving by train. It is an awkward 18-minute walk from train station to hotel or vice versa. It does not have an airport shuttle, which is probably due to the hotel being located not too close to Schiphol Airport. A taxi from Schiphol Airport will set you back approx. 70 Euros.

    Van der Valk Sassenheim - Leiden is a very convenient hotel when traveling by car. It is located very close to the highway (A44). The room was very nice and large enough. The staff members I dealt with were very friendly.
