Sehr angenehm.
Pros:

Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber.

Cons:

Das Fenster auf dem Zimmer konnte nur gekippt werden, dadurch war es stickig. Die Ventilatoren haben das aber ausgeglichen.
Beim Frühstück war die vegane Auswahl nur sehr wenig bis gar nicht vorhanden.

Pros:

het was prima, miste alleen een stopcontact in de badkamer, er was er wel een maar die deed het niet , bleek later dat je daar een knop voor om moest zitten, tip >:zet dat erbij .
Nu kon ik mijn haar niet doen aangezien er wel stopcontacten in de kamer waren, ,maar geen spiegel, wat dit niet fijn. en ben zelfs nog om en nieuwe stijltang gegaan naar kruidvat omdat ik dacht dat hij kapot was.
verder prima hotel en vriendelijk personeel .

Excellent Stay at Forest Hotel, Den Helder and Outstanding Hospitality
Pros:

I had the pleasure of staying at the Forest Hotel in Den Helder, Netherlands, from 15–17 June, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

What stood out most during my stay was the exceptional hospitality of the hotel staff. Every interaction was welcoming, professional, and genuinely helpful, creating an atmosphere that made me feel appreciated as a guest. The team consistently went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and ideally suited for both business and leisure travelers. After long days of meetings and travel, it provided a relaxing environment to unwind and recharge.

Another highlight was the breakfast. The morning offerings were excellent, featuring a wide variety of fresh and high quality selections that provided the perfect start to each day. It was clear that considerable attention is given to ensuring guests have a positive dining experience.

The combination of attentive staff, comfortable accommodations, and a quality breakfast made this one of the most enjoyable hotel stays of my trip. I would not hesitate to stay at the Forest Hotel again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Den Helder, whether for business, military engagements, tourism, or simply exploring the beautiful North Holland region.

A sincere thank you to the Forest Hotel team for making my visit such a pleasant and memorable experience.

Cons:

No negative comments.

Per arrivare al piccolo ascensore c'è più di una rampa. Bagno molto piccolo,sembra quello delle cabine dei traghetti. Colazione molto minimal.

Great stay, clean, new, fresh and comfortable. Ideal location
Pros:

Bed was very comfortable, the rooms were great, new and clean. Bathroom was clean, fresh and a good size. Ideal location

Cons:

It was first time staying here and I had a rough idea of location, but clearer signage would be helpful as to where the hotel is. I walked past it, as I missed the little sign in thw window.

Nicely designed boutique hotel with nice staff.
Pros:

Newly renovated rooms, with nice artistic furnishings. Lot of thought has gone into this boutique hotel. Liked the included, simple breakfast run by a really nice woman.

Cons:

That the window only opened about 15 cm. My room was a bit warm as the weather was over 30C. The hotel doesn’t have aircon (which is fine) but windows need more ventilation.

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt perfekt zentral, nah am Bahnhof in einer ruhigen Strasse mit breitem Grünstreifen in der Mitte. Die Einrichtung ist wunderschön! Viel helles Holz, angenehme Farben. Das Zimmer im 3. OG war groß, ebenfalls sehr schön eingerichtet, auf dem Kopfkissen lag ein herzlicher Gruß. Aus der großen Fensterfront blickt man in Baumwipfel. Die Mitarbeiterinnen sind sehr herzlich, sowohl beim Empfang als auch beim Frühstück. Das Frühstücksbüffet ist ausgezeichnet, vielfältig, es gibt u.a. frisches Obst und köstlichen Naturjoghurt. Auf Wunsch werden Eierspeisen frisch zubereitet.
Ich würde jederzeit wieder dort übernachten!
