Bastion Hotel Zaandam

Nice hotel even in pandemic times felt safe with comfi..

Good hotel.. little expensive... Don't book it if you are not interested in country side life... For city center you need to stay near Central station

It's at good location and zaandam is very peaceful place nice to spend holidays

So I arrive early and they do not have early check in. Fine! They tell me to wait until 1 pm (which was four hours); then while I am waiting, I see them check in other guests and send them to their rooms! Generally their interactions did not seem much customer focused, which is why I decided to put this review before finishing my stay! Oh and then I come here and there is no one at the reception! Starting to be really ridiculous. And then when they come, the room is still unavailable! And the person from the reception has to go up and check it; just amazing! ------ update after stay ----- So on the surface the rooms are OK, and the bathroom looked great! But: 1. For the fi St few days, the bathroom smelled of cigarete smoke. In fact, one night at 1:45 am the fire alarm went off which I think had something to do with this. 2. The room's door would wobble due to wind outside (which somehow transfered to the corridor). It made it very hard to sleep when randomly the door makes noises. The solution would have been very simple; spring load the doors and this would not happen. 3. The wifi signal was very weak on the floor I was on, and have the time it would disconnect me from the network. So overall, this is a hotel that focuses on surface things, the things that you can easily spot, but not the reality of what hotels are about; providing a smooth stay for your customer.

Nice hotel, a bit far from city center, but they’ve got quite good service and tasty breakfast!
