Markermeer Hotels

"Be very careful especially if you are booking via Hotels.com. Evidenced by other talking to other guests as well as our own experience. They sent an email a day before our stay asking for local taxes in order to secure the room - which on inspection later turned out to be £40 overcharged compared with the Hotels.com invoice. They sent an email the day we left advising €607 would be deducted additionally. Whilst the latter turned out to be an error, dealing with Hotels.com (who are actually Expedia) turned out to be an unpleasant experience. I had to raise my voice to get the initial call handler to escalate and the complaint was not once acknowledged. After 80 minutes I managed to get the excess tax refunded. Wholly unpleasant. Other travellers mentioned charges to cards being a problem. BE VERY AWARE"

"magnifique hôtel tout est parfait"

"The breakfast was okay, but unfortunately the overall cleanliness was very disappointing. The room was very dirty, with dust and dirt in several areas, and there was even a blood stain on one of the pillows. The lobby was constantly occupied by large groups of teenagers watching videos loudly on their phones, which made the atmosphere quite uncomfortable and noisy at times. Overall, the stay did not meet expectations, mainly because of the cleanliness and noise level."

"This was such a unique and fun stay! Close enough to the city to walk (a very pretty walk) to the bus station and take public transportation everywhere, but far enough away that it was very peaceful. Some of the best sleep I've had with the boat rocking us to sleep every night."

"The hotel was good, the staff was nice, although the wifi was not great and it is very far from Amsterdam. You have to take a train or bus that is 8 euro one way, and then metro or tram, which is 3.4 euro one way."

"Bien situé"

"Great spot right next to the metro - easy to get into central! Really nice staff as well. Clean and comfortable. Didn’t try any of the food but saw lots of people enjoying the dining areas!"

"Room was clean on arrival and staff was very welcoming and helpful in a lovely quite place of Almere"

"Would be amazing to have a small TV and a small wardrobe."
