Strandhotel Vigilante | Hotel in Makkum, Friesland

“Great location for the beach. The staff was nowhere to be found when arriving at the hotel and a couple of them didn’t know English. There are two different parking areas with charging stations at each but nobody checks if gas cars use them or if anyone’s charging (so be preparers to wait for a spot). The hotel is right on the beach, decently clean and has an extremely expensive breakfast. There is however a supermarket only 5 min walk away. ”

“Nice hotel, lovely bar downstairs and great location.”

“Lovely area, great staff on reception”

“Fabulous location and helpful staff. I would love to stay in the warmer months.”

“Very nice room and a fantastic view. The room was big and had two tv’s. The restaurant seems to forget that tourists don’t speak Dutch. The server was hard to reach but the food was nice. ”

“The esthetics of the hotel are fine, the room looked clean, it didn't smell to clean however it looks fine. The heating was not working, the bathroom is not practical as is open and you have to clean it after having a shower as it gets everything wet, they even put the tools to do it, so they are very aware of the issue. The hot water was intermittent so I didn't enjoyed the shower at all. Breakfast has variety, however low quality, microwaved eggs, and other things that taste like plastic. On the website the breakfast was announced for like €34, on the desk they asked me for €21, too expensive for what they offer. Not really my cup of tea. Happy to share pictures but I don't see the option to add them.”

“Clean large room with terrace with a great seaview love come back here in the summer for walks and bike riding. Lovely area not been here for over 40 years since I left the Netherlands. Highly recommend this hotel for a longer stay, originally only booked for one night with booked another night straight away. Amazing for water sports.

“Quaint hotel at a prime location by the beach!”

“The room had a ver foul sewage smell, stained bedding and carpet. The shower was moldy, toiletries provided were empty when I went to use them. Tried opening window to let in fresh air and spiders were everywhere behind curtains. I did ask to be moved to another Timm and the front desk did accommodate me. Next room was a bit better but similar condition in the bathroom. The condition of the rooms are very old, damaged and needing a complete upgrade. Lobby and restaurant looked nice. I did not eat onsite as restaurant was closed early upon arrival. ”

“The stay was good, bathroom a bit dangerous due to newly laid tiles. Which are not designed for shower and bathroom floors. Had to use a towel in the shower and bath room floor to stop slipping over. ”
