Holiday Inn Express - Almere by IHG

Het ontbijt mag wat uitgebreider. Maar het was prima.

When we first checked in, we told the clerk we might have a change in plans and would probably check out weeks before than we had originally planned. The clerk advised us that we could check out any day we wanted, however we would still be charged for the length of the original booking. To be sure I wasn't misunderstanding her, I repeated what her statement. She reiterated that I would be charged for the entire length of the booking, whether or not I checked out two weeks early or stayed the length the original booking. She then added, "You can always argue with Booking.com or the manager, who is not here right now, but I don't think you will succeed. You should have booked directly with the hotel instead of Booking.com. If you had, I could do something, but you didn't. I'm sorry." As a result of this, we declined an offer from family to travel to Belgium with them because we did not want to waste the money. The experience tainted our opinion of the hotel, the staff, and our stay in general.

Hat uns das es weder einen Kühlschrank noch einen Kleiderschrank gibt, wo soll man seine Kleidung verstauen ? Nicht durchdacht. Der schmutzige Sessel in 129 sollte unbedingt Mal getauscht werden. Macht keinen guten Eindruck. Das Frühstück war OK aber für so ein Hotel wirklich durchschnittlich. Das Hotel sollte schon darauf hinweisen das Asylbewerber im Hotel leben und sich sowohl in der Lobby als auch vorm Hotel rumhängen, das macht wirklich keinen guten Eindruck für Gäste die eine Menge Geld bezahlen um dort zu übernachten.

Nothing

Es waren in dem Hotel auch Asylbewerber untergebracht, das war nicht so schön ,weil es teilweise abends laut war und der Müll teilweise einfach neben den Abfalleimer geworfen wurde...

De eerste 3 etages zit vol met asiel/gelukszoekers me vrouw voelde zich totaal niet op haar gemak. Met allemaal mannen die alles wat vrouwlijk is jagend nakijken. Douche was vreselijk geen druk dus niet normaal op kunnen frissen. Enige wat goed is was het bed.

No fridges and microwave in the rooms. People are smoking close to the entrance if they can go 3m further.

Alles gut wie erwartet.

I havnt had anything that i didnt like the only thing that i was missing was maybe a small fridge to put some cans in or to keep the water cold

This property is currently functioning as an asylum center / long-term municipal residential shelter for roughly 30–40% of its capacity, which was completely undisclosed prior to booking. The overall environment has been entirely altered, making it impossible to use the facility as a normal hotel.

*​Zero Suitability for Rest or Business: Constant shouting, stomp noise late into the night, and heavy group activity around the entrance and corridors made sleeping practically impossible. I had to cancel all scheduled client meetings because common areas were congested, noisy, and unsuited for hosting anyone.

*​Misleading Front Desk Claims: I was specifically assured at check-in that short-term guests and long-term residents were accommodated on separate floors. This was false; long-term residents were placed directly on our floor.

*​Overcrowded & Unpleasant Amenities: The breakfast area was chaotic, overcrowded, and unhygienic due to continuous heavy crowding. Public space upkeep suffered, with trash left unattended by the elevators.

​A hotel cannot secretly double as an asylum center while charging standard commercial rates to unsuspecting guests (I paid 700 euro for 2 nights).
If you need rest, sleep, or a professional environment to host clients, do not book this hotel.
