Fletcher Hotel-Restaurant De Oude Gevangenis-Alkmaar

Very enjoyable and relaxing

Pros: Good location with shalk walk to town. Excellent staff and facilities.

Great hotel, brilliant staff, and a lovely town to visit.

Pros: The venue itself is just amazing. Staff couldn't do more to help.

Cons: I found the coffee machine in the room difficult to use.

Former prison is the place to stay

Pros: The hotel was fabulous. Lovely rooms, great staff, super food and spotlessly clean

Cons: It would have been great if cider was available at the bar (to cater for coeliacs)

Unusual building in great location

Pros: The location is great for a short stay, easy reach of restaurants and town centre sights. Unusual setting of a converted prison made things interesting.

Cons: Outside areas could be better illluminated after dark.

My second stay in the old jail and would recommend to anyone travelling to Alkmaar. I will be returning in November 🇳🇱🇳🇱

Pros: Great venue and a 5 minute walk from the train station and town centre. Jeroen who staffs the breakfast was really warm and hospitable. Also Yara who welcomed me on reception was a credit to the hotel and both staff made you feel at ease in the hotel especially being a solo traveller.

Cons: Rooms were a little run down and fresh sheets were not provided on this 3 day stay.

It’s like a museum!

Pros: Awesome place, like the renovation and adaptation to hotel.

Good hotel with comfy beds and lovely breakfast.

Pros: Beds were comfy and room was a good size. Shower great. Breakfast had a great selection.

Cons: Hairdryer had a squeeze handle which made styling and drying tedious and long winded.

A very pleasant stay in this hotel. The staff were all helpful and welcoming. The breakfasts were buffet - style and gen

Pros: The hotel was set in a wood which created a pleasant environment for walking to the town of Alkmaar.

Cons: There weren’t enough hooks and ledges in the bedroom

Very nice stay in Alkmaar

Pros: Very nice location, close to the park and with ample parking.

Cons: The room I got had some technical problems but the staff offered to change it

More comfortable than I’d expect a converted prison would be!

Pros: Really comfortable and quiet. We thought staying in a former prison was good fun.
