We recently returned from a six-night stay at the Boutique Hotel Margretha, and the four of us were sorry to leave. I will attempt to cover the highlights. Harry and Linda are fantastic hosts--friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. When two in our party needed some OTC medication, Linda purchased it for us. All of their restaurant recommendations were spot on. The daily breakfast delivered to our door was a lovely, filling Dutch feast with fresh rolls and croissants from a local bakery, cheese and meats, yogurt, fresh fruit, and eggs. The rooms are beautifully furnished--spacious, and comfortable. The beds are excellent providing a comfortable night's sleep. Although the beach and town are a primary attraction, should the weather be poor, the rooms are a lovely place to spend a relaxing day. Zandvoort is a perfect location from which to visit Haarlem, Amsterdam, and many other spots in the Netherlands. The hotel is located a 3-5 minute walk (depending on one’s age and mobility) from the train station from which to travel to Amsterdam in 30 minutes. It is the perfect base for a visit to this wonderful country. We have visited the Netherlands several times but after staying at this special hotel, we can't imagine a better location or a more perfect experience. We are eager to return.

There was nothing I disliked. The stairs to the upper floor are steep. Should you experience any mobility issues, request a room on the lower floor, though the proprietor did help us carry our suitcase upstairs.

The hotel is adorable and everything is so clean! I stayed in the Suite with Spa Bath for a long weekend to get away and decompress from a very busy time. There is a bedroom, a separate living space with kitchenette, a terrace, and a large bathroom with a huge jacuzzi bathtub. The room is a "smart" room, so buttons controlled everything from the curtains to the lights. When you close the doors from the bedroom and stay in the living area, it is absolutely silent (which was exactly what I was hoping for!). Further, the hotel is located in the center of Zandvoort, but it's on the edge, so you do not hear any noise from the crowds. In fact and apparently, there was an event in the center on one of the nights of my stay and I heard nothing. I also highly recommend opting into the breakfast delivered to your room!

I can't think of a thing.

This is the most high-tech guesthouse I have ever stayed in. The owner is clearly passionate about sustainable buildings, and brings this through while emphasising good design elements. Easy to access even with a late arrival, close to train station, and mattress was super comfortable. I was sorry to only be there one night!

I booked this stay because there was a common area that I wanted to use to work after check out, but the space was smaller than expected. Minor niggle and certainly would not stop me recommending this place!

The hotel was perfect, the hosts were brilliant and helped us throughout our stay and even helped reunite us with some accidentally lost presents after our stay. The hotel incorporates a great blend of technology and I'm jealous that I haven't been able to implement some of these at home yet so it was great to see it all working together. The hotel is a very short walk to the beach,the train station and is surrounded by lots of amazing restaurants; it really was the perfect location. The included breakfast was amazing and brought right to your door in the morning, a great array of baked goods , fruit and all round healthy goodness, the entire place was spotless and the room facilities (aircon, bath, shower, kitchenette and very reasonably priced minibar) were well above what we expected. My review of the hotel will probably not highlight just how amazing this hotel is, so if you happen to be looking for a hotel in the area this is the one you should book, but be warned no matter how long you book for, you will wish it was twice as long.

Room size and comfy bed

One of the stuff ( old lady ) was rude and judgmental. When I arrived I asked her for the direction to the reception / suite. she said it’s not here with mocking face and made me walk around the block to find out it’s the same exact place that was so rude.

This will be our yearly location for our anniversary, location is great, the rooms are big and comfy and the staff/owners are always friendly and helpful.

Nothing much, if I had to write just a little improvement, it would be to add more cheese and meats in the breakfast options. Other then that the breakfast is amazing.

We stayed here at the end of our long trip across the Atlantic European coastline by car. We were very tired and wanted comfort for our last days, and this hotel provided exactly that. We have nothing to add; it was a great experience.

We could not find anything bad about this hotel.

The apartment was super high tech, which makes it even more comfortable. You don't have to get out of bed to open the curtains and you can adjust the lights from within the bathtub all on your phone. Also eliminates the need to carry around a key to the room.

There was no milk provided with the tea/coffee set, but it was cheap to buy from the nearby supermarket.

Great design and very comfy bed. Also the little self serve bar in the entrance hall was nice. Friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was plenty!

We had a downstairs room at street level, so you could hear everyone walking by and talking, also the beeping sound of the entrance. But as it is a small hotel with few guests and a quiet town, this was not really an issue.

Location is great. I think it's even better during a summer season, since it's close to the sea and you would be able to enjoy the sun and more places to chill along the coast. We skipped the breakfast this time.

Can's think about anything we didn't like. Everything was great.
