The hotels she chose were close to public transit, quiet, safe, and comfortable. Each one was perfect to come back to after long days.

I enjoyed Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Leiden, with day trips to Haarlem and Delft. Some highlights of the trip were:
Rijksmuseum
Van Gogh Museum
Anne Frank House
Those Dam Boat Guys canal cruise Amsterdam
1-on-1 walking tour of Leiden
Molen de Valk (also in Leiden)

Overall, this trip was very enjoyable! I'm so glad I went out of my comfort zone and explored somewhere new.
The plane hadn't even taken off, and I was already mentally planning my next trip to the Netherlands

Hotel Mercier
Amsterdam

Hotel Mercier was great.The location is perfect for exploring central Amsterdam. The staff is very friendly and and helpful. My room was large by European standards. The mattress was way too soft and the topper moved during the night. The hotel itself is beautiful and tastefully decorated. I enjoyed the breakfast in the bright and airy restaurant. I would return to the Hotel Mercier.

Hi Sharon,

Thank you so much for your feedback! I’m thrilled that your guide and driver took such good care of you and that you enjoyed the experiences we arranged.

I also sincerely appreciate your notes about the beach hotel. I’m very sorry the AC, towels, and service fell short of expectations. We hold our hotel partners to high standards, so I’ve logged this issue to review our partnership with this property for future itineraries.

Thank you again for traveling with us!

Henk and Anne-Marie are amazing hosts. They helped orient us to the city, find some places to eat, and shared information about events taking place. The breakfasts were simple and delicious. We were traveling as a family, and we were able to have a space in our room to play boardgames and wind down for the evening.

Hotel Heerlijkheid Bergen
Bergen

The location was great in the city, but our room was very small and musty with little air circulation. We were there during some hot days in August and there didn't seem to be any fans or solutions available even when we asked. Luckily, our party had two rooms, and the other room had a fan that they shared with us. The staff were kind, but didn't have the English skills needed to assist our basic knowledge of Dutch; this led to a few instances of miscommunication that left us all frustrated.

Authenticity & Character
The building is very quirky with doors that you have to open and close to move between sections of the building and shut off access (momentarily) to others moving through the building. There was a sign that actually said Heerlijkheid Bergen, so we had some questions if we were in the right place. .
Location
Close to public transportation, shops and local attractions.
Staff
We had a hard time communicating with some of the staff and felt scolded when we had questions.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The room just smelled moldy, and didn't have any way to move air through to make it better. There was a nice sitting area where we could hang out, but it was small and not always available.
