I'm on a business trip w/ colleagues and customers and actually my customer booked this hotel. It's decent for a small suburb of Amsterdam. My room is on the 2nd floor, with two twin sized beds joined together. I'm using one for some of my stuff and the other to sleep on. Everything is relative small compared to similar type of hotels in the States, but I'm thinking not so out of whack for NL and Europe in general.

It's very spartan... no pictures on walls in the hallway nor in the room. The bathroom was relatively big considering the size of the room. The shower was typical European with a hand wand that could be placed high or low... and the best part of the water pressure allowed for an invigorating spray... great for sore, achy muscles.

The major downside is the 17 or perhaps 19" circa 1985 television set they had in my room. I can handle the size and picture quality, but one night, I couldn't turn it off to save my life! I tried the remote numerous times, nothing. I tried the power button on the TV numerous times, nothing. I tried to unplug the cord, but the plug was covered. I almost wanted to cut the power cord! Very little sleep that night.

The service in the morning during breakfast has been good... much better than other restaurants in the city.

The best thing is the proximity to transportation. The hotel is within 150 yards of the train station. The bus stop is right next door, and there's a taxi stand near by. This allows amble access to different transportation modes immediately outside the hotel. In fact, you can rent a bike for 7.50 EU (w/ a 50 EU deposit) per day, at the bike shop, 50 feet from the train station.

The service in the hotel is great! Nice people and very helpfull. To organise a big business event always gives lot's of work. The staff of hotel Toor really helps you finding solutions and they try to make your work easier. Compliments, see you in april 2010

Last week I was visiting Alphen a/d Rijn for business. After a tough meeting which filled my whole afternoon, I arrived at Alphen. My first impression (arriving at reception) was great! A very nice young man asked if he could assist me with my luggage!! Great, because I was tired of travelling and working!

Later on, I had dinner alone, but the waitress asked me immediately if I wanted to read something and brought me a newspaper and a magazine!
Dinner was superb! Nice courses were passing and they all tasted very good!

I would really recommend this hotel to everyone!

I went with my wife for the first time to Alphen a/d Rijn because our friends are living and i had to be there for a meeting. I only can only say ,beside that the hotel is classic, that the staff is very friendly. They will help you with everything that you need. The Chef is very good and the atmosphere is very pleasant. It's a nice village to visit. Also 3 minutes from the train station to go Utrecht and Leiden.
For us it fabulous!!! No other word for it.
