We started looking for a hotel in Alkmaar. Couldn't find any! Trued a Tukan nearby - no room. At last we found the Zeezicht (Seaview, we think) and there was a room available. And a parking place! We were very impressed with the location, right in the harbour with trawlers, yachts and ferries. Very pictoresque. Our room had a window... More

Good location, clean room, good food but what spoiled our stay was the snobby, unfriendly services in the dining room by a ( male) server with a shaved head and ear ring. He had the attitude that he was doing us a favor. A shame. You could hear him talk in the back about the guests. Little did he knew... More

I was lured by the images on the booking site and once booked rather hesitant judging from the feedback. However, I am very pleased that I decided to stay. Location is great, both to take a stroll and also views of the harbour area. Check is was swift but we had to struggle with our luggage upstaris as there is... More

The staff is not unfriendly, but you have to understand that the Dutch tend to keep to themselves---it's not like America where salespeople endlessly follow you around asking if you need help. It was nice to be left alone to enjoy myself. the rooms were a little small, but they certainly had everything we could want (fridge, 2 chairs, closet,... More

The downside of the hotel is that the staff are quite unfriendly, sometimes it feels as if they are being sarcastic with you and that you’re a bit of an annoyance to them, in fact the only time they smiled or were affable was when we paid ! They also have ‘door closers’ on the bedroom doors which people let... More

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in May 2006. I was happy with the price range and the location but there were some unpleasant experiences as well.When I phoned to make the reservation for a single room for 2 nights, I mentioned I would be arriving shortly before 10 PM. They gave me a room with several beds,... More

Firstly I concur with the previous reviews....... The location terrific, dated rooms and paper thin walls. In a single I was moved to, you have to be quite flexible to use the w.c. I'm only 5'8". The attitude of the 'land lady' was rude to say the least, unwilling to assist with request to exit from hotel before 7am as... More

Stayed 1 night before taking the morning ferry to the islands. Indifferent welcome - we were rather made to feel that we had disturbed the staff, who were having their supper in the main dining room. After starting to climb very steep stairs to third floor (no lift) with heavy suitcases, someone did finally appear and took the luggage for... More

We recently spent 3 nights at the Zeezicht. It is in a lovely position beside the harbour where we watched numerous sailing boats coming in and out all day requiring the bridges beside us to be raised and lowered continuously. we also watched the ferries to the Frisian Islands come and go regularly.The hotel has character and the family who...
