Ameland hotels

Pros: A lovely, modern property in a quiet but central location on Ameland. The owner was very friendly. and our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was more continental style (nothing warm), but we expected that and there was still plenty of choice. We also loved that they served it till quite late since we are not morning people! The pension was part of a really lovely stay on Ameland.

Cons: As noted by others, the walls are thin, so we could hear our neighbors well. At least they didn't stay up late...

Pros: The location of the property was great for us, Ameland is only a very small island but this location was fine for us !

Cons: Nothing relly

Pros: - Clean and spacious room - Excellent breakfast - Friendly and helpful staff

Cons: - The room was quite hot, not much air circulation (the ceiling fan helped a bit) - Breakfast was only served from 09:00 am

Pros: Amazing room, wonderful staff, excellent food, strategic position, super quiet location. Absolutely recommended

Cons: They need to have a proper luggage room in order to avoid damages to luggages and clients stuff due to usual kitchen incidents

Pros: Great place: new, clean, comfortable, good bed, good shower, friendly staff en delicious breakfast. Would certainly come back again!

Pros: Clean, comfy, really good breakfast, located in the middle of the centre!

Cons: -

Pros: The hotel is lovely, I can recommend it: the rooms are nice and stylish: very bright, cosy and with a comfy bed.

Cons: The man working at the check in/counter was not particularly helpful nor kind. Breakfast starts very late (at 9), and we needed to check out sooner. He seemed lost and proposed no real solution, he just pointed out that we could have breakfast on the ferry, even if we've already paid for it in the hotel and did not mention at any stage that he could refund us. Luckily someone else from the stuff came over and arranged to prepare a doggy bag fro the following morning.

Pros: Friendly people. Clean room with large bed, beautiful bathroom with spotless towels. Nespresso coffee in the room. Breakfast was great. Not a buffet but with precisely boiled egg, various bread and croissants, yoghurt, etc. Dinner was also very good. We had a great stay here, despite of a little rain and a lot of wind. We would definitely book again here

Cons: I can't find any and actually I don't want to. This was a great stay.

Pros: The restaurant, great choice of food. The friendly people, and the relaxed ambiance. Awful nice village

Pros: Everything was perfect, including the service

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I really liked the interior design and details at this place! Also the rooms, it's not your standard boring grey/white/blue hotel room. Great service/staff and lovely location in the centre of town. Breakfast was amazing and we enjoyed a beautiful lunch as well.

Cons: The bathroom situation could be a bit more private for me...with the glass/see through doors, you can't lock the toilet and when someone is on the toilet you're practically in the same space. So you can hear everything. Not very comfortable.

Pros: Very new, fresh and clean. Wonderful, friendly hosts. beautiful interior and styling. A lovely place to stay!

Cons: Beds a bit too soft for my taste and bathroom became a swimming pool when showering.

Pros: The hosts know good service! We felt very welcome. The room and bathroom were big and the bed was comfy. Good wifi (protected by password)! The breakfast was yummie! The Saturday morning paper comes a bit late, but that's because it has to arrive by boat first :-) Just take another coffee... When you rent your bike @ kiewiet (the first rental place, when you walk off the boat) they drive your luggage to the hotel. The hotel is located in Nes, within walking distance of bars and restaurants. We attended the "Horizontoer" festival, a great opportunity to experience a few days of life bands and a beer!

Cons: Nothing really!

Pros: The room was very confortable. The staff was very kind. The breakfast buffet very Rich. Hotel in The centre of Nes.

Pros: Clean rooms and bathrooms,capsule coffee machine in the room, nice view! Granola/boiled eggs/sandwiches/fresh pastry for breakfast. Easy access after 23, fast internet.

Cons: I met some inconvenience when I booked the second night. As a man at the registration promised to transfer my small bag in the new room as soon as it's ready, as I had to leave for a trip at 11. But she. I came back in the evening my bag was still in the hall, and has been there the whole day as I understand, so any one had an access to it. The second night I was offered a comfortable room with a double bed (even I travelled alone), but it was only half bed made!! So the other half was without any bedclothes, so i can "enjoy" watching bare matress while sleeping.. Have never seen that before. And there were some difficulties to receive a proper receipt after paying, the man just took my payment without me being sure it's was registered. The receipt fun received letter, and after checking the corrections need3d to be done anyway.

Pros: Fireplace and sofas in the restaurant/bar area were lovely. And the village of Ballum was also a beautiful place to stay. The hotel has bikes for rent and a good system for dropping your bike off at the ferry when you leave.

Pros: Staff very friendly,efficient and helpful. Food was great. Bed extremely comfortable.

Cons: Nothing that I didn't like, just a couple of suggestions; bath was very slippery - need some sort of slipmat as bath was longer than the wife and she had trouble staying upright! Also a light over the top of the coffeemaker, so that I could see what I was doing!

Pros: The relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Drinks are a bit pricey

Pros: Clean, welcoming, well decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was the same each day but good. The staff was very friendly and did all they could to make the stay more enjoyable for us

Pros: The restaurant was fantastic. Dinners were best we had from all restaurants we visited on the island. Also we had free/welcome snacks and drinks at the minibar which was super nice!

Cons: Our room was a bit small, had to lean each time passing the bed as it was under slanted ceiling, kind of attic room. But it was still nice and cosy.

Pros: comfy bed, good size room, nice dutch breakfast, lovely indoor /outdoor lounge, bar, restaurant, friendly staff

Cons: airco in the room

Pros: Loved the bathtub

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Hotel claims to be top quality hence is not able to accomodate hotel guests for dinner. Daft comment was given around 18:00 we are already fully booked for 2 evenings neither were alternatives offered perhaps you could travel to other villages and check it out yourself. We travel a lot hence never experienced this before. Will not return here

Pros: Ballum is a great village , authentic en peacefull . the hotel is very nice and cosy.

Cons: nothing

Pros: Breakfasts. Lighting.

Cons: Some noise from adjacent neighbours with dogs. Slow service on the evening meals.

Pros: The hostess went out of her way to make me comfortable. The breakfast was very nice and when Gera discovered I liked cappuccino for breakfast she made me one or more each morning. The rolls were fresh and divine. The room was tastefully decorated, clean and the shower was just right. Briefly: home from home! Gera phoned the council for me when I lost my OV chip card, an essential travel card for the Netherlands and it was found! Anorher proof how low criminality is there. I know the island very well having stayed there for holidays and weekends since my childhood and it w as nice to be back to visit family. The weather was gorgeous!

Pros: very cosy room, right in the middle of Hollum. super friendly hosts.

Pros: Gera is a beautiful hostess, who makes time for her guests. I really enjoyed chatting with her. The lounge is inspiring with its artistic display of antiques and old wares.

Cons: There seemed to be a chemical smell in my room and towels that bothered me.

Pros: Great breakfast. Liked the room and the record player with an eclectic selection of records.

Cons: It was a lot to pay for a sleepless night when a annual party was going on next to the hotel - with incredibly loud music and very bad music until 3am. It would have been only fair that the hotel told us in advance.....

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. Loved the skylight window to see the stars at night.Hard to find at first but then the location made more sense. Lots of good eating places close by in the area.

Cons: Stairs both in the room itself and going up to the room were a little hard at first.

Pros: The staff is great as well as the location. All in all its a very good hotel, just more expensive than it should be.

Cons: The hotel is too expensive for what you get. The pillows are not comfortable.

Cons: breakfast was not worth the money. everything geared towards the elderly. everything was superexpensive.

Pros: Friendly staff. The room was amazing, very spacious, the bath very nice(you can watch starts while bathing) and beds very comfy, location is perfect.

Cons: It can do with better cleaning. One lamp bulb didn't work. One thing, we booked a suite with normal bath and roof windows. When we arrived we got informed that we got an "upgrade" to a smaller room and no attic but with spa bath. We complained that that's not an "upgrade", at the end we got the room we booked and we payed for, but please don't offer "upgrades", just stick to what clients book and pay.

Pros: Room size (Fantastic Suite) Room equipment, quality include Air condition (Fantastic Suite)

Cons: housekeeping very late every day +/- 4pm. vacuuming only after our notice. Room very noisy. very steep and narrow staircase - no elevator.

Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpful. Swimmingpool (yet a small one) is free of use and meets the daily use (a few laps). The studio apts have a kitchenette, kitchensink, worktop with fridge and 2 elec. cooking plates, utensils, crockery & cutlery. We were very lucky to have an apt facing west, so a late afternoon wine was enjoyed in the sun! Restaurants, stores and supermarket are within close range, public transport stop is a five minutes walk (or even less) away. Rooms and facilities are clean and well-maintained. Shower, toilet, washbasin: clean! As we had the studio apt, cleaning is not included. We didn't mind vacuuming the room or changing our towels ourselves. This studio apt is situated on the ground floor, the hotel does have an elevator though.

Pros: Very nice, friendly and supportive host of the hotel. Good location, close to the ferry station and city center at the same time. Good breakfast and clean rooms.

Cons: Only thing we missed was a toaster at breakfast

Pros: We absolutely LOVED our stay at Sier Aan Zee. Ruth and Peter welcomed us with open arms - even though they were supposed to be closed for the season, and looked after us so well. They made us feel as if we were family. Everything was perfect. The house was exceptionally cosy and warm and all the facilities were of very high quality. The bathroom was lovely with a gorgeous and powerful hot shower and the beds were so comfortable too! The area is simply stunning and we enjoyed exploring and the views from the lighthouse were breathtaking - no photos can do this place justice. We were completely relaxed and rejuvenated by the end of our stay. We didn’t want to leave and will be coming back for sure!

Pros: Friendly staff, silence, a lot of places for children

Pros: It's a very quite hostel, in each room there are 4 beds, towels are provided. It's very closed to the see and the forest. It's 13 km from the ferry and we biked, in 30 you can reach the hostel (there are several rental bikes the island, close to the ferry). The breakfast is amazing!

Cons: The only thing is that the bathroom could be cleaner and the room had also some dirt in the ceiling. (The check out could be at 11, not at 10)

Pros: Beautiful location, nice breakfast with plenty of options. Good price for a double room with bathroom. Staff gave us a lot of information. All in all, a very good stay, I would definitely recommend it

Cons: Everything was good for our expectation

Pros: The balcony was a nice surprise. The bed was comfortable. We had a fridge (without a freezer) The room was well furnished: a big wardrobe, two tables and two chairs

Cons: One evening there was no hot water (but mildly warm). This happened on the day with the worst weather during our stay. Probably demand for hot water was too high at that time. Also, we could see through the balcony floor the guests below us. I was mainly worried that I won't let some send down while they are out :).

Pros: The convenience of walking distance between the beach and the village. The beds were very comfy too. It is a family run hotel and the owner and his wife made us feel very welcome. We were given an unexpeted upgrade whic.h was a nice surprice

Pros: Very kind and welcoming staff. Quiet neighbourhood. Easy bike-rental at competitive rate. Nice breakfast (buffet) with a huge choice of breads and a good orange juice.

Cons: Well, they do their very best to keep it up to date, but the room nevertheless felt old. The carpeting is very thin, which I personally don't like.

Pros: very nice and clear hotel

Pros: Rooms were clean, bed very comfortable, breakfast was basic but decent! Location was great, close to the beach and to Nes Centre. Nes is also the closest town from the ferry and it's a lovely village with great food and cute shops.

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic.

Cons: The hair-dryer didn't work in our room, there appeared to be a faulty plug.

Pros: The easiness of check-in and of hiring bikes at the hotel. Breakfast was simple but lots of lovely fresh bread and rolls and delicious fresh ground coffee.

Cons: Everything was good

Pros: It was quickest and easiest check in ever. The room key was prepared together with a map and island info. Also when we left the invoice was alredy printed and check out was done in a minute. Great service

Cons: nothing

Pros: very nice location

Pros: Good location between the village and the beach. Good room-size and although the hotel was pretty full it was not noisy. The room was clean, but very old-fashioned.

Cons: Neither at check-in, nor during breakfast or check-out was the staff accomodating. No smile, no "good morning" in the breakfast-room, never a "hello" when coming in. Upon check-out the person in the office beyond the reception told me to "ring the bell". The hotel was truly missing a host - a personality giving a warm welcome. The breakfast was okay, same choice every day.

Pros: The location is ok

Cons: Very poor beds that are very uncomfortable

Pros: The nature

Cons: The bed

Pros: Location , overall facilities could be good if better managed and maintained

Cons: Breakfast was not good quality, pool small and with one shower (only one) which was clogged and dirty, beds uncomfortable (I’ll fitting toppers added). Design of rooms was cramped.

Pros: Very nice and quite large family suite, clean, functional kitchenette. Pool is nice, simple, quiet - but no single sex changing rooms is a little odd. Staff friendly and helpful, location is fine. Breakfast buffet standard fare, nice but not exceptional. Ameland is beautiful and well worth a visit.

Pros: The hotel is in a good location and has very convenient amenities for families. There's in/outdoor play areas, pool, and apartment style accommodations, with refrigerator, etc. The lobby/restaurant public areas were nicely styled and a relaxing place to read a magazine. The onsite restaurant had nice ambiance and well presented food. Options to rent a bike on site.

Cons: The ventilation in the toilet/bathroom was not great. Our room was also not cleaned when we had a sign on the door. With a small child in diapers, this is a must! ;) Soap dispenser not filled and clock in the room was an hour behind which meant our first full day started much later than expected. Restaurant had very limited healthy options for kids and no menu provided upon seating, which meant that you're just waiting to get the opportunity to make a decision, and again, with kids, you need to decide fast.

Cons: Mattress of the double sized bed was of a vary poor quality.

Pros: Nice location 10 mins from the beach, good breakfast.

Cons: Price was pretty steep

Pros: Breakfast, and coffee in the bedroom

Cons: The wellness spa was dirty

Pros: breakfast is good

Cons: bathroom could be better

Pros: The room and the location of the hotel. Staff was very friendly, always willing to assist.

Cons: The service in the restaurant was not great. A bit slow and inaccurate when we ordered the diner. In addition, we had to wait for about an hour between one of the courses. When checking out, the bill appeared to be wrong, the dinner was charged twice. When standing in the cue for paying the bill, I could hear that most of the leaving guests had (minor?) complaints. It appears that there is work to do for the hotel's management.....

Pros: Location and a very tasty breakfast

Pros: alles was gewoon perfect

Pros: Clean and comfortable bed, friendly/helpful service, loved the breakfast (a feast!). A great touch was the can-do mentality. We were given a room on ground floor to accomodate my elderly mother, how great! Really appreciated that.

Cons: Would have liked facility for making coffee/tea (a kettle, cups etc.). It's a basic service really and not much effort.

Pros: location, use of bikes and friendly staff

Pros: Nice breakfast with the option of taking a packed free lunch. The hotel is placed in a nice location, near the sea, near the dunes and the little town. Everything at walking distance.

Pros: Good location, very friendly ans helpful staff, confortable bedrooms. Good breakfast. A very nice place indeed !

Pros: Breakfast was really excellent. With eggs, tasteful buns and plenty tea and coffee. You get bags to make and take your lunch packet. You have a nice view on a meadow with sheep and horses. The location in between Nes and the beach is perfect. You can hire bikes at the location and dogs are welcome if you ask this beforehand.

Cons: There is a nice lounge where you can relax, but the light is not suitable if you want to read a book or magazine. We regretted, that despite of the excellent breakfast the butter, jam etc. was wrapped in plastic.

Pros: The breakfast.

Pros: The staff. Thank you! :) And the location. Hollum is quiet, relaxed and comfortable, with a beautiful beach.

Cons: The installations were not too baby-friendly, even though the staff were all extremely considerate, attentive, friendly and helpful at all times, so they mostly made up for it!

Pros: slept wonderfully in a quiet environment

Cons: it is faint to really go into it but it is very quiet in the winter

Pros: Good location, very kind staff and nice breakfast and dinner. Jacuzzi on the room was a nice touch.

Pros: breakfast was good. No too fancy. Good coffee and fruit. The location was lovely, beautiful garden around the hotel, and at walking distance from the village center and lighthouse as well as from the beach. Excellent beds. The receptionists very helpful and friendly

Cons: The room was simple, very big. Not soundproof. bathroom small and without showercap or bodylotion.

Pros: Nice area, breakfast was ok. They opened the sauna specially for us, which was also very nice. Big plus is the size of the room!

Pros: Room and bathroom very comfortable for senior guests It was my birthday and they decorated the table for me!

Cons: When we had a few glasses of wine and asked for tap water, we were charged for it!!!

Pros: We like the indoor pool a lot, and the staff was friendly, esp our server at the restaurant. We didn't get a chance to get her name ( she had dark long hair) but she was very patient with my gf's questions regarding the menu items. When we ran into her at a beach restaurant, she also greeted us when we came in and say bye when she left. "Employee of the month" we'd say

Pros: The breakfast was complete and good. The room was relatively big. Perfect location.

Cons: The sofa in the room was quite unconfortable (hard seat). The bed was 2x single boxsping, not very confortable for a couple ("split" in the middle).

Pros: We very much liked the location it made the rest of the island accessible.The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and plentiful. It was a pleasure to stay at the hotel.

Pros: room, facilities, location

Cons: no free LAN
