Hotel & Wellness Zuiver

Easy access to the spa and the quality of its facilities

The duvets are too hot

Our rooms were in a separate, very modern block across the car park from the hotel. Good size and efficient layout. Staff very helpful. Very large car park which got busy but there was always enough space. Breakfast was very good, a huge choice of things available, all very fresh. We were attending the World Rowing Championships and the hotel was ideally located a short walk from the entrance. We therefore didn’t use the spa at all so used restaurants outside the hotel. We can recommend De Veranda about 5 mins away: good food, service a little slow.

The lighting in the room was quite dim, especially in the shower. While breakfast was generally excellent we were a bit surprised that there weren’t nuts and dried fruit available to put on your breakfast - just some weird sprinkles. As we never intended to use the spa, it does make the rooms a bit more expensive, but that was our choice.

We stayed at Hotel & Wellness Zuiver for two nights (with breakfast and spa access included) while I was in Amsterdam for work, and overall we had a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, everything went smoothly. Check-in was quick and efficient, and we were welcomed with refreshing infused water, which was especially appreciated since Amsterdam was experiencing an intense heat wave during our stay. One thing that immediately impressed us was the hotel’s excellent air conditioning. Despite the extreme temperatures outside, the entire hotel remained wonderfully cool and comfortable. Our standard room was spacious, modern, spotless, and very thoughtfully designed. I especially appreciated the separate entrance area where you can leave your luggage and belongings, keeping the sleeping area tidy and relaxing. The room also included a coffee machine, a table with chairs, and a Smart TV, allowing us to log into our own streaming accounts. A lovely surprise was the handwritten welcome card waiting in our room, which made the stay feel personal and genuinely welcoming. Before arriving, I had read some reviews mentioning dirty rooms and views overlooking the parking area, but that was absolutely not our experience. Our room, on the first floor, was impeccably clean, and although the parking area is technically below, our view was mainly of the beautiful park surrounding the hotel. Unless you deliberately looked straight down, all you could see from inside the room was greenery, making it feel peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast was perfectly acceptable, although not particularly memorable. There was a decent selection of breads, cheeses, eggs, fruit, coffee, tea, juices, and made-to-order omelets and pancakes. The variety wasn’t extensive, but everything was fresh and well presented. Since I was there for work, I didn’t have much time to fully enjoy breakfast each morning, so this wasn’t a major part of our stay.

The only real disappointment during our stay was the restaurant. Since it’s located inside the wellness area, you need spa access to dine there, which could be inconvenient for guests without spa entry included in their reservation. Eating while wearing a bathrobe or swimsuit also felt a little uncomfortable, especially because the restaurant was quite cool with the air conditioning. It’s simply not the most comfortable setting for a proper meal. Unfortunately, the food itself was also disappointing. We both ordered main dishes costing around €21 each, and neither lived up to expectations. My burger was dry, the meat was tough, and I didn’t even finish it despite being very hungry. Considering the overall quality of the hotel, the restaurant was the biggest letdown of our stay. The hotel is certainly on the expensive side. Our stay cost around €511 for two nights for two people, including breakfast and spa access. Personally, if I were paying entirely out of my own pocket, I would probably choose a more affordable hotel nearby and simply purchase access to the spa separately. However, I can also understand why many guests consider it good value, because the rooms are excellent and the wellness facilities are truly exceptional.

The spa facilities were amazing!

The property is far from the main city. Hotel amenities were very basic considering the price of the hotel.
