The place is really a pub with a few rooms upstair. It can be a bit noisy in the evening because of the pub but rooms are clean and nice (European size, so not very large). Price are on the cheap side and you get an excellent value. I paid 60 euro for a single room and that included breakfast. The dutch breakfast is served in the morning in the pub and include coffee, juice, local cheese, eggs, bread and cold meats. Quite good to start the morning. The wifi is also free (rare in Europe). The hotel is well located the the little town's center with some nice restaurant and cheese shops nearby. Edam is know for originating the "edam" cheese of course which is quite tasty especially when aged. It is an historic walled city and it is quite charming. I did use Edam as based the last time I went to IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) in Amsterdam when all the hotels there are booked and prices are outrageous. Edam is a short 30 minutes drive to the RAI exhibition center (less to downtown Amsterdam) and this hotel offer that way an peaceful, nice and inexpensive alternative to staying in Amsterdam (yes, it does imply a bit more logistics). The easy free street parking in front of the hotel makes it easy to commute to Amsterdam by car. An alternative is to use the bus service to Amsterdam which is a bit slower but also convenient.

Lots of reasons to visit Edam. This beautifull place just outside Amsterdam has a great old centre…read morewith canals, bridges. A mini mini Amsterdam that should be in your agenda's when exploring places around Amsterdam. The Harmonie is a Dutch bar with white sand on the floor. This was used to keep the floor clean from sailors chewing tabacco and spitting on the floor. Als the sand was used to attract people by creating nice drawings in it. No spitting during my visit yesterday, its there just to keep the floor clean or to look bit authentic :). The Harmonie hosted the Walk about Music festival where singer songwriters perform in different locations in Edam. Walk in Edam, enjoy the city and the music of the performers. Had a view drinks in the Harmonie and was great atmosphere there. Will return sooon !!

We received a menu totally in English which was splendid. The servers were pleasant and patient. I ordered a sampler plate of seafood items. It was spectacular and my husband ordered the pea soup. Similar to our split pea soup but still a bit different. It too was great. Wish we were there another night to order the bowl of beach crab soup. So good.

Our room overlooked the narrow road below We did have the walk up a very small steps in a small staircase. Difficult to take up large luggage bags. Good thing I didn't have that The breakfast was alright but I do like the idea of having to get my own coffee or tea. You received one small pot of coffee and a small pot for tea. I would have enjoyed more The free parking is down the road a bit and you need a timer for your car The hotel does not own it.

No room service unless you are booked in a suite. Very disappointing after a long day of work and travel. They have a refrigerator in the room and you can buy a mini bar snack pack for 15 euros that includes an assortment of snacks and alcoholic and soft beverages. One more thing- lighting in the room was soft,muted,shadowy. Great for ambience. Not so great for putting your make up on. Overall, nice and I would stay here again.

The location is serene and quiet.Rent bikes from the hotel and around the country side and ride to Harderwijk to sip wine by the river Vecht. The rooms are like little private residences and not hotel-esq at all. Updated, modern and clean. The restaurant staff and amazing food is mind blowing. I recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing. We will stay here again next year. The location is easy enough to take the train to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. We were over impressed with this hotel and wish we could have stayed another night. Highly recommend this hotel.
