Golden Tulip Noordwijk Beach

2:02 pm..... drink ordered via app on terrace. Food could not be eaten via app so waiter there..... sorry, it is 14:02 and from 14:00 there is no more eating on the terrace. Everyone ran away. Time for new management and new rules.

tiny room on the 2nd floor (renovation was some time ago) with mini bathroom, in which you can hardly turn. Another room could not be obtained, we would have even paid. A completely outdated TV with 2 German programs(VOX, RTL) When asked if perhaps ARD and ZDF were possible, the answer came: in Germany there is no Dutch television at all! The location of the hotel is very good and so is the first visual impression of the entrance area.

The hotel is located at an excellent location, but the rooms and service are more two star. I asked for a quiet room and was placed in a shoebox sized room with a single bed placed against the wall on the back with no views and a tv mounted on the other side (remote did not work). Already when entering I heard a buzzing sound, which became worse over night with machinery (airco, generator?) apparently mounted on the roof switching on an off waking me up all the time. When mentioning this to the reception the next morning I was told I should have complained and asked for another room. That however does not solve the problem. One may expect a quiet nights sleep especially in a hotel that advertises itself as a four star and particularly in a room that was offered as being quiet. The only silver lining was the very nice waitress who surely deserves to work in better surroundings so hopefully the family Roggeveen that so proudly appears in the wall on the reception will take note and make the necessary investments and upgrades.
