Bovenkarspel Vacation Packages

Pension Homeland was a delightful and slightly quirky stay! The building is a repurposed naval office building located directly beside what is now a park, and right on the water near the riverboat docks, all of which give it that slightly quirky, but thoroughly enjoyable, vibe. The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful to those on their first visit to Amsterdam. They helped us manage jet lag by allowing us to check in several hours early, aided us in planning transportation to area sites, warned us about issues we might not otherwise have expected, loaned us electrical transformer plugs when ours did not fit, and were generally warm and welcoming. The room was very clean, but basic. No AC, but with windows that open wide, as well as fans it was very comfortable for us. Nice shower with ample hot water. The restaurant served excellent cappuccino and very good dinner and breakfast—and was obviously well-liked by the local community so make reservations for dinner! The only drawback is that because of its proximity to a popular local park, on a Friday night there is a lot of noise. Not annoyingly loud, but pretty constant and well past 10 pm since the sun doesn’t set until 10:30 in July!! All in all, we felt we had a more authentic Dutch experience by staying here—we recommend it!

Love this hotel

LOVEEED this hotel- location was fantastic, the boutique charm, overall decor and staff was great. I had a medium sized room that was the perfect size for me. They had bikes you can rent, was walking distance to the train station, was super close to a lot of amazing shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Could not rave about this place. Would absolutely go back and stay again
